Operations and Client Systems Internship | Fall 2026

Brilliant Agency, one of the most respected and rapidly growing agencies focused on family-oriented brands, seeks a REMOTE Operations and Client Systems Intern, 15 hours a week to help support the agency’s growing, award-winning team. FOR THIS INTERNSHIP, YOU MUST BE ABLE TO START ON JUNE 1ST OR AUGUST 17TH.

Who We Are:

So what’s Brilliant all about? We are a unique Public Relations agency, celebrating 15 years in business with over 25 team members who all work remotely across the US. We give our team the resources they need to get their work done without having to sit in a cubicle or stuffy office. From costume contests to virtual happy hours and Slack GIFs, we prioritize connecting with each other and creating a sense of community. Although we are remote, team members are expected to be available online during regular business hours, and there is occasional travel for events and trade shows.

What We Do:

Brilliant is in its second decade as a fully remote company and is one of the most respected agencies serving consumer lifestyle brands with a specific focus on products, brands, and services for families including baby and maternity, toys and games, tech, housewares, and food.
