Campus Marketing & Community Intern — End of Summer/Fall
MTR Beauty Collective is building the next generation of beauty brands.
We acquire beauty brands with strong heritage, exceptional products, and untapped potential, then work across brand, marketing, creative, digital, retail, and operations to reimagine them for today's consumer.
Our first major acquisition is Deborah Lippmann, which we have relaunched as LIPPMANN. We're building on more than 25 years of expertise while introducing the brand to a new generation of consumers.
And we're just getting started.
As MTR Beauty Collective grows, our goal is to acquire, develop, and scale additional beauty businesses. This internship is an opportunity to join a small, entrepreneurial team and get firsthand experience building a beauty brand from the inside.
About LIPPMANN
LIPPMANN is the original care-first nail brand, since 1999.
We believe healthy nails are beautiful nails, and we create the ritual that gets you there.
Built on Deborah Lippmann's decades of expertise as a celebrity manicurist, LIPPMANN combines professional performance with a care-first approach to nail health.
The brand is built around three core pillars:
Care Without Compromise
Beautiful color should never come at the expense of nail health. Every LIPPMANN formula is thoughtfully developed to deliver professional performance while supporting stronger, healthier nails through cleaner, treatment-driven ingredients.
Built on Expertise
For more than 25 years, Deborah Lippmann has helped redefine what nail care can be through professional expertise, cleaner formulations, treatment-driven innovation, and a care-first philosophy.
Capsule Colors
We create colors with longevity, not urgency. Every shade is thoughtfully developed to become a lasting part of your beauty wardrobe: timeless, wearable, and beautifully performed.
The Role
We're looking for a creative, socially connected college senior who can help us introduce LIPPMANN to the next generation of consumers.
You'll serve as a bridge between our team and college culture, helping us understand what's resonating with your generation, identify the right people and communities to connect with, and develop creative ways to get students genuinely excited about the brand.
This is not an internship where you'll spend the semester watching from the sidelines. We want your perspective, and your ideas.
What You'll Work On
Campus Outreach & Partnerships
Identify and connect with Greek life, student organizations, clubs, campus publications, events, creators, and other communities where LIPPMANN could naturally show up.
Community & Ambassador Building
Help identify students, creators, campus ambassadors, and brand advocates who could introduce LIPPMANN to their communities.
Events & Activations
Brainstorm and help execute sampling, gifting, campus events, partnerships, pop-ups, and other creative ways for students to experience the brand.
Gen Z Consumer Insights
Help us understand what your peers are buying, watching, sharing, talking about, and responding to, and what brands are getting it right or wrong.
Social & Content
Contribute ideas for TikTok, Instagram, UGC, creator partnerships, trends, and social-first campaigns.
Outreach & Communication
Help develop thoughtful outreach to campus organizations, creators, potential ambassadors, partners, and other contacts.
Brand Building
Participate in conversations about how we position, market, and grow LIPPMANN with a younger consumer.
You'll also have exposure to the broader work happening at MTR Beauty Collective, giving you a firsthand look at how beauty brands are acquired, repositioned, marketed, and scaled.
Who We're Looking For
We're especially interested in a current college senior who is:
- Highly connected to campus life and naturally knows what's happening around them
- Active in Greek life, student organizations, clubs, athletics, campus media, events, or other student communities
- Interested in beauty, fashion, wellness, lifestyle, marketing, entrepreneurship, or consumer brands
- Deeply familiar with TikTok, Instagram, creators, and internet culture
- Able to recognize what makes people their age genuinely care about a brand
- A strong writer and natural communicator
- Comfortable reaching out to new people and building relationships
- Organized and self-motivated enough to thrive in a remote role
- Creative, curious, and willing to bring ideas to the table
- Excited by an entrepreneurial environment where things move quickly and your work has a visible impact
Previous beauty-industry experience is not required.
We're much more interested in your instincts, initiative, understanding of your peers, and ability to turn an idea into something real.
More Than an Internship
We're intentionally looking for a senior because we'd love for this role to become something more.
MTR Beauty Collective is growing beyond LIPPMANN, and we're interested in finding talented people who want to grow alongside us. You'll have the opportunity to work directly with a small team, take ownership of meaningful projects, and learn how emerging and established beauty businesses are built.
For the right person, this internship could lead to continued work during the school year and consideration for a full-time position with MTR Beauty Collective after graduation, with the opportunity to help us grow LIPPMANN and future brands in our portfolio.
We're not simply looking for someone to complete an internship. We're hoping to find someone we want to keep
