About the Opportunity
Morning Water is a fast-growing DTC wellness brand co-founded by Blake Mycoskie (founder of TOMS Shoes) and Austin Brawner. We make a morning replenishment drink mix that gives you everything you need to win the morning: creatine, premium electrolytes, amino acids, and more. We launched in January 2026 and are growing fast.
This is a small team of three, and our ambassador community is one of the biggest reasons we're growing. You'd be the one in the room every day, engaging our current ambassadors, bringing on new ones, and keeping the whole program running clean. What you do in this role will have a direct impact on the success of the business.
What You Will Learn
You'll learn how to run an Ambassador Program from the ground up. You will develop real business skills, including:
- Building a high-performing ambassador team
- Tracking performance
- The ins and outs of outreach
- Spotting what works and cutting what doesn't
You will also be interacting directly with influencers, celebrities, and ambassadors on behalf of our product, giving you a front-row seat to how the business side of social media works in the context of a brand-new startup.
Responsibilities
- Commenting on social posts and engaging with current ambassadors
- Reaching out to new ambassadors and coordinating product shipments
- Reviewing ambassador applications with a 24-hour turnaround
- Following up with people who've received product
- Answering DMs
- Updating tracking and dashboards
- Identifying low-performing affiliates and tracking replies and posting activity
Requirements
- Someone who genuinely loves social media, not just uses it
- A person who would call themselves detail-oriented, and can prove it
- Comfortable using Claude or other AI tools to work faster and write well
- A current student or recent grad looking for real, hands-on experience
- Someone who asks questions instead of guessing
- Based in Austin is a plus, but not required (role is remote)
What to Expect
- Duration: 3-month paid internship, with the goal of keeping the right person on part-time once it wraps.
- Flexibility: Hours are flexible and mostly async, outside of a check-in with the team.
- Reporting: You will report directly to our Head of Partnerships.
How to Apply
Create your cover letter with answers to the questions below. Combine your cover letter and resume into 1 PDF (Maximum of 2 pages).
Step 1: Answer the following questions:
- Share your social media (the account you're most active on and proud of).
- Write a different Instagram caption for this post.
- Why should we choose you over all other qualified applicants for this internship?
Important Note: Start your cover letter with a single sentence that includes the word "hydrate." We read every word of every application, and this is how we find out who else does too.
Deadline: Thursday, August 3rd @ 11:59 PM (CDT)
