ProGuard Security Services provides customized, professional security solutions to buildings and facilities across the San Francisco Bay Area. Our work combines operational discipline with a high-touch, customer-service approach, and we invest in developing our people for long-term success.

ProGuard is looking for a practical, energetic marketing intern who can help shape and execute the company’s next stage of marketing. This is not a role where you will only support isolated tasks: you will work directly with CEO Nils Welin to turn business goals into a focused marketing plan, then help put that plan into action.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, resourceful, comfortable taking ownership, and interested in learning how a service business grows in the U.S. market. Strong performance may lead to an opportunity to remain with ProGuard beyond the initial internship period.

·      Assess ProGuard’s current marketing activities, audiences, positioning, and opportunities, and develop a practical marketing plan with clear priorities.

·      Create compelling content that explains ProGuard’s services, people, customer-service philosophy, and value to prospective clients and employees.

·      Plan and manage content across the company website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, email newsletters, video, and other relevant channels.

·      Build and maintain an editorial calendar and ensure that agreed content and campaigns are delivered on time.

·      Develop campaign concepts that can increase awareness, engagement, leads, and recruitment interest, and track what performs well.

·      Help create marketing collateral, presentations, case stories, and other sales-support materials.

·      Support the planning and promotion of industry events or conferences and contribute ideas that improve project and content workflows.

·      A current student or recent graduate in marketing, communications, business, media, or a related field — or someone who can demonstrate equivalent practical experience.

·      Excellent written and spoken English, with the judgment to adapt messages for different audiences.

·      A strong interest in content marketing and digital channels; examples of previous work, projects, or campaigns are highly valued.

·      A self-starter who can move work forward independently, while knowing when to ask questions and seek input.

·      Creative, curious, organized, and dependable, with the ability to manage several priorities and finish what you start.

·      Comfort working with different personalities in a fast-moving, service-oriented environment.

·      Able and willing to work full-time from the San Francisco Bay Area for approximately one year.

For an eligible international candidate, guidance and practical support with the J-1 visa process will be provided through the Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce USA (SACC USA). Final visa eligibility and approval remain subject to the applicable program requirements and U.S. authorities.
