About GKS

GKS is a software platform that helps pharmaceutical and life sciences companies stay on top of government regulations and compliance requirements. Think of us as a smart tool that tracks FDA inspections, flags risks, and helps companies prepare before problems arise. Our clients include some of the biggest names in pharma, and we’re growing fast.

Role Overview

As a Marketing Intern at GKS, you’ll play a key role in helping us get the word out and attract new customers by writing blog posts, supporting social media and email campaigns, and building the founding team’s presence on LinkedIn.

You’ll receive structured training in your first few weeks to get up to speed on our industry, tools, and processes, then work directly with the COO, who will provide ongoing mentorship and feedback throughout the internship. This is a hands-on opportunity at a growing startup where you’ll create real work, not busywork, and leave with a portfolio of published blog posts, emails, and social content, along with experience using tools like HubSpot, Google Analytics, and Search Console, and a clear understanding of how marketing directly contributes to business growth.
