About the Opportunity
Rrattler Global is building more than events—we’re building cultural ecosystems that connect business, entertainment, hospitality, education, and community impact.

Interns will gain exposure to executive research, partnership development, event operations, and project coordination while contributing to projects that create lasting community impact.
If you’re interested in business, marketing, communications, hospitality, entertainment, high-end festivals, multi-media, fashion, music, talent, or community impact and leadership, this is an opportunity to build valuable professional experience while helping bring innovative cultural experiences to life.
