About The Position

Dorsia is seeking an Events & Experiences Intern to support member programming, activations, and partner-driven events during Summer 2026. This role supports the operational infrastructure behind each experience—building and maintaining the systems, databases, and workflows that ensure consistent, high-quality execution. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is highly organized, attentive to detail, and understands that premium brands are defined by the quality of their execution. You'll gain hands-on exposure to how event operations, member experience, and partner relationships intersect inside a fast-moving hospitality technology company — developing frameworks and instincts that transfer directly into a career in events, hospitality, or experiential marketing.

Strong written communication skills — able to draft professional outreach to venues and partners without supervision
Detail-oriented with high organizational discipline and reliable follow-through
Comfortable working in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments where accuracy and speed both matter
Strong Google Workspace and/or Excel proficiency; CRM familiarity is a plus
Ability to synthesize information quickly and clearly — you distill complexity into action, not noise
Professional maturity in external-facing communications — you represent Dorsia with every email
Genuine passion for hospitality, events, luxury brands, and membership-driven business models

Nice To Haves

Prior experience in hospitality, PR, event production, or luxury retail
Familiarity with event management or CRM tools (Airtable, Notion, HubSpot, or similar)
Comfort with AI tools for workflow efficiency — automated confirmations, brief drafts, contract summaries
Interest in how live experiences drive member retention, acquisition, and brand equity
