About DAYBREAKER
DAYBREAKER is the world's leading sober morning dance movement, a global community of 500,000+ members across 28+ cities who wake up before sunrise and dance their faces off, completely substance-free. Founded by Radha Agrawal and Eli Clark-Davis, Daybreaker fuses movement, music, and community into one-of-a-kind experiences that have taken place at Rockefeller Center, the Smithsonian, and in partnership with the White House, Nike, American Express, Samsung, Lululemon, and many more. We believe joy is a radical act, and that the best parties start before 9 AM.
About the Role
This role sits at the execution layer of DAYBREAKER’s Partnerships team, ensuring partner activations are delivered seamlessly across events and festivals.
As Partnerships Intern (Operations & Activation), you will oversee the quality and success of brand partner activations — from planning through on-site execution and follow-through.
You will work closely with the Head of Operations to coordinate logistics, including shipments, setup, and execution.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in organization, logistics, and fast-moving environments — and is motivated to go beyond baseline execution to deliver exceptional experiences.
