About us

Hesta is creating a new benchmark in women’s health, delivering exceptional care at every life stage. As we advance towards this goal, we are committed to closing the women’s health gap, beginning with pregnancy and postpartum as our initial focus.

75 million years of women’s lives are lost every year due to poor health or early death. This gap limits potential, drives inequality, and reflects a healthcare system that wasn’t built for women. We are changing that.

The Opportunity

Our first mission is to reimagine care for mothers through compassionate care, clinical excellence and technology. We’re looking for a broad, hands-on Marketing & Growth Intern.  The role is designed for someone who wants to learn by doing and be closely involved in the realities of building an early-stage startup.

You’ll work directly with the co-founder to help define and execute Hesta Health’s early marketing and growth efforts, from how we show up on social media, to what content we create, to how we start understanding what’s working through early analytics. You’ll help set up the foundations, experiment with ideas, and iterate quickly.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative, and is excited by the opportunity to shape a brand and growth strategy from the ground up, rather than slotting into a narrowly defined remit.  It offers real responsibility, close founder exposure, and the chance to help build a company from day one.

Job Type: Part time paid internship (3 days per week, 3-6 month duration - length to be negotiated). Flexible working patterns are welcome.  Possibility (not guaranteed) for role to move to perm.
Location: Remote first with some in person hours in our office in London Victoria
Start Date: as soon as possible
Reports to: Amanda Cupples, Co-Founder

What You’ll Do

You’ll be involved across a wide range of early-stage marketing and growth activities, including:

Social Media & Content

• Managing and growing Hesta Health’s social media presence (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok)

• Creating content calendars and posting regularly

• Writing captions, short-form copy, and simple long-form content

• Engaging with the community and responding to comments and messages

Content Strategy & Brand

• Helping shape Hesta’s tone of voice and content strategy

• Researching what resonates in postnatal health, femtech, and wellness

• Turning ideas, research, and founder input into clear, compelling content

Asset Creation

• Creating simple visual assets (e.g. social graphics, carousels, basic decks)

• Working with tools like Canva or similar

• Managing and updating the Hesta Health website

Comms & PR Support

• Helping draft newsletters, announcements, and updates

• Supporting early PR efforts (e.g. research, outreach lists, drafting pitches)

• Assisting with partnerships and community collaborations

Growth, Analytics & Experimentation

• Helping set up and maintain early marketing and website analytics (e.g. social performance, basic website metrics) and tooling

• Supporting small growth experiments and campaigns

• Tracking what performs well and sharing insights to inform future decisions

• Learning how early-stage startups test, measure, and iterate with limited resources

Who You Are

You don’t need to have done all of this before.  Curiosity, initiative, and good judgement matter most.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are a student, recent graduate, or career-switcher interested in marketing, communications, or growth

• Are excited by early-stage startups and wearing multiple hats

• Enjoy creating content and thinking about how brands connect with people

• Have an eye for great design

• Have strong written communication skills

• Are organised, proactive, and comfortable working independently

• Care about women’s health, postnatal care, or impact-driven work

• Are comfortable working with basic analytics and performance data (e.g. social insights, website metrics) and using this to inform decisions.  You don’t need to be an expert, but you should be confident working with numbers and dashboards

• Have curiosity and enthusiasm for healthtech, femtech, or emerging technologies, and are interested in how technology can improve healthcare experiences and outcomes

Nice to have (but not required):

• Experience running social media accounts

• Basic design skills and familiarity with tools like Figma and Canva

• Experience with tools like Google Analytics, Wix analytics, or social media insights

• Prior exposure to healthcare, startups, or tech-enabled services

• Startup-ready - You’re resourceful, thrive in ambiguity, and know how to move fast without breaking trust
