About The Company
We’re Changing the Beauty Industry for Good. Thrive Causemetics was born out of a friendship. Makeup artist and product developer, Karissa Bodnar, lost her dear friend Kristy to cancer at just 24 years old. Kristy’s compassionate and vivacious spirit inspired Karissa to establish Thrive Causemetics, a beauty brand and philosophy that goes beyond skin deep by empowering women. Thrive Causemetics is Bigger Than Beauty™️: For every product you purchase, we donate to help a woman thrive. We believe changing the world starts with a single ingredient, and that’s why we create vegan, 100% cruelty-free formulas containing proven ingredients without the use of parabens or sulfates. All of our high-performance cosmetics are developed at Thrive Causemetics Lab—we control every step of the product development process, and a large part of it involves you.
About the Role

In-Office 5 days/week in Playa Vista, CA HQ


Who We Are:


Thrive Causemetics is Bigger Than Beauty™: We are an independent, female-owned beauty brand that creates high-performance vegan cosmetics and supports a community of giving. All of Thrive Causemetics' products are free of parabens and sulfates, in addition to being 100 percent cruelty-free. Through its Bigger Than Beauty™ program, every product purchased results in a donation to help communities thrive.


Thrive Causemetics is dedicated to fostering a collaborative and cross-functional workplace where everyone’s voice matters. We are committed to being pioneers in creating a culture of wellness. Together, we prioritize a strong work ethic while maintaining a positive, exciting environment where people are passionate about what they do.


Who We Are Looking For:


We are looking for a PR + Influencer Intern to support our already booming creator, media and product seeding efforts. This is a short-term temporary role perfect for someone who loves beauty PR, thrives on organization, and brings creative hustle to everything they do. You’ll work closely with our Influencer Manager and PR Agency to keep day-to-day execution running smoothly while helping us tell Thrive Causemetics’ mission-driven story in a way that meaningfully resonates with the press.

What You Will Be Doing:
  • Own press coverage tracking and amplification, helping turn earned media into momentum across channels. Partner closely with our PR agency on media outreach, awards submissions, and other follow ups.
  • Orchestrate gifting programs end to end, from personalized sends to launch mailers, then measure performance and share insights to sharpen future drops.
  • Source and cultivate creator relationships, expanding our network while thoughtfully managing and growing our existing PR list with a high-touch approach.
  • Manage inbound partnership requests, filtering, vetting, and prioritizing opportunities with clear strategic intention and strong brand alignment.
  • Help build and energize our community, collaborating with the social team on engagement moments that feel authentic, timely, and on-brand.
  • Keep everything moving, staying ahead of timelines, details, and deliverables.


What Will Make You Stand Out:
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Clear, confident communicator who enjoys relationship building
  • Creative hustler who is always thinking about how to get the biggest possible outcome in the most efficient and resourceful way.
  • Impact driven, genuinely passionate about Thrive’s giving mission.
  • Able to persuasively translate our purpose driven story to press to stand out against their traditional editorial priorities.
  • Prior PR, communications, and beauty industry experience a plus.
