Events & Community Summer Intern (NYC)

About Pickle

Pickle is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace unlocking the value of the billions of underutilized items sitting in consumers’ closets. We make it easy to rent high-quality items exactly when you need them — with fast, convenient fulfillment and an on-demand experience that’s as seamless as shopping.

We’re building a new kind of commerce layer: one powered by dynamic local supply, where access is more convenient than ownership. Pickle is now live nationwide and scaling rapidly in key markets including NYC, LA, Miami, Dallas, Austin, Chicago, with 400K+ items listed for rent.

Backed by our Series A (FirstMark, Craft), we’re moving fast and building the future of access-driven shopping.
