Role Summary

Open Fertility exists to make high-quality fertility care accessible to more people. For many patients, cost is the biggest barrier to building a family: IVF and egg freezing are frequently out of reach, and many people are left with few insurance options and limited information about price. Open Fertility removes those barriers with transparent, all-in pricing and a streamlined care model designed around what patients truly need to meet their goals. We serve people who might otherwise delay, forego, or be priced out of treatment altogether.

Open Fertility is powered by Spring Fertility, one of the country’s most respected fertility practices. Our patients benefit from Spring’s clinical standards, laboratory expertise, and protocols. Open delivers that care through a leaner, more focused experience led by a dedicated team of providers. The result is care that is affordable without being a compromise: the same commitment to quality and outcomes, at a price more people can reach.

We are seeking a Community Events Marketing Intern to bring that mission to Astoria and the surrounding neighborhoods. Our in-person community events have consistently produced some of our most engaged leads, because they meet people where they are and answer the questions that keep them from taking the first step. This role exists to run more of those events so we can extend Open’s impact.

This is a hands-on role for a student in public health, women’s health, or a related field who wants real ownership and responsibility. You will learn about our patient population and conceive, plan, promote, and host community education-focused events; build local partnerships; and make sure every attendee who wants to learn more is connected to our care team. You will work directly with the growth marketing team, SVP of Marketing, and our Astoria team.

Essential Functions

Event Strategy & Execution

• Conceive and plan a recurring calendar of community events (target 1-2 per month), such as fertility education nights, egg-freezing info sessions, and partner-hosted workshops
