Job Description:

PTP is looking for a creative, curious marketing intern to help us show up — and stand out — in the next generation of search. That means traditional SEO and something newer: making sure our brand gets surfaced when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude for recommendations.

This is a hands-on role where strong writing and communication skills matter just as much as technical know-how. If you love crafting content, have a knack for clear storytelling, and are genuinely curious about how AI is changing the way people find information, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Write and optimize content — service pages, FAQs, thought leadership articles, and comparison guides — that ranks well and gets cited by AI tools
  • Help audit PTP's web presence and identify opportunities to improve how we appear in both traditional and AI-generated search results
  • Support on-page SEO fundamentals: meta tags, internal linking, keyword research, and content structuring
  • Track how PTP shows up across AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) and help us improve that visibility over time
  • Assist with schema markup and structured data to help search engines and AI tools better understand our content
  • Contribute to monthly reports on content performance and search visibility
  • Collaborate with leadership on brand voice and messaging consistency across channels
  • Represent PTP's brand on camera and in digital content where needed (video content, social, etc.)

What We're Looking For:

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, English, or a related field
  • Strong writing skills — you can explain complex ideas clearly and adapt your voice to different audiences
  • Comfortable on camera and confident communicating verbally (for video content, internal presentations, or outreach)
  • Familiarity with basic SEO concepts (keywords, meta tags, content structure) — whether from class, personal projects, or just being curious online
  • An active user of AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude — you use them regularly and think about how they work
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage tasks independently

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with any SEO or analytics tools (Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, SEMrush, SurferSEO — even free/trial versions)
  • Familiarity with how LLMs generate responses and what makes content more likely to be cited
  • Prior internship or freelance experience in marketing, content, or communications
  • Experience with B2B or tech-adjacent content

What You'll Gain:

  • Real-world experience in one of the fastest-growing areas of digital marketing — AI search optimization 
  • Direct mentorship from leadership with visibility across strategy, sales, and operations 
  • A portfolio of published content and measurable SEO/AI visibility results 
  • Opportunity to transition to a full-time role based on performance 

Salary/Rate: $15-$20/HR (depends on experience level). This is a contract position with candidates expected to work 40 hours/ week.

About Us

Peterson Technology Partners (PTP) is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to creating a transparent, inclusive, and human-centered hiring experience.

For more than 28 years, PTP has operated as one of the top IT staffing and recruiting firms in the USA—built on trust, long-term partnerships, and technical excellence.

Based in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, IL, our team of more than 500 employees and consultants is dedicated to:

  • Helping every client make the best hiring decisions possible
  • Matching professionals with the right IT jobs and career opportunities

As part of that commitment, we believe in providing clear information about how our hiring technologies work and how your data is used. The following section outlines our AI-assisted interview process and your rights as a candidate.

AI-Assisted Interview Experience (Pete & Gabi – Rebecca):

To provide a consistent, fair, and flexible experience for all candidates, we use AI-assisted tools to support parts of the interview process. This includes our proprietary AI platform Pete & Gabi, which includes AI recruiter Rebecca.

These AI hiring tools help us:

  • Conduct recorded video interviews
  • Transcribe interviews
  • Summarize candidate responses
  • Generate job-related insights
  • Streamline communication and scheduling

Please note that:

  • The AI does NOT make hiring decisions; all decisions are made by our human recruiters, hiring managers, or client partners.
  • The AI does not evaluate facial expressions, emotions, or physical traits; it is used only to support fairness, consistency, and efficiency.

If you prefer a non-AI interview format, we will gladly provide an alternative.

Technical or Case Interviews (Role-Dependent):

When applying for certain tech jobs, you may participate in:

  • A technical interview
  • A coding challenge
  • A case study
  • A client-specific assessment

We will always explain what to expect in advance so you can prepare with confidence.

Human Review & Selection: +

Every candidate’s profile—including interviews, conversations, and assessments—is reviewed by experienced recruiters and hiring leaders.

AI insights may assist with organization and evaluation, but final decisions are always human-driven.

Your Rights as a Candidate: +

At PTP, every candidate has the right to:

  • Request a non-AI interview path
  • Ask how your data is being used
  • Request access to transcripts or interview recordings
  • Request deletion of your AI-recorded interview
  • Receive clear, timely communication

Our goal is to ensure you feel respected, informed, and supported throughout your experience.

Our Commitment: +

For more than 28 years, PTP has focused on putting people first—candidates, consultants, employees, and clients.

We’re committed to a hiring process that is:

  • Transparent
  • Compliant
  • Equitable
  • Powered by innovative technology that enhances—not replaces—human judgment

Welcome to the future of hiring at Peterson Technology Partners.

We’re excited to learn more about you.

Equal Employment Opportunity: +

Peterson Technology Partners is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
