Role: Talaria – Spring & Summer Internships Multiple Roles

Manager: Tucker Risman

Talaria, LLC (TryTalaria.co), is an Chicago, IL based startup that is currently looking to bring on a small number of caring, creative, and passionate individuals for a variety of Spring and/or Summer internship opportunities in Marketing, Operations, and Copywriting. These interns will have the opportunity to work hand and hand with the founder as we develop an exciting new set of products and services intended to help our customers during one of the most difficult times of their lives. Please send any questions to Tucker@trytalaria.co.

What we do:

Talaria is focused on easing the challenges people encounter after the death of a loved one. It is a difficult time for individuals as they try to manage their own grieving, day-to-day responsibilities, and countless strange tasks that they often have not put too much consideration into. These administrative tasks can take months if not years to complete as they vary from transferring bills & assets; closing subscriptions or digital accounts; notifying employers, the social security administration, or veterans affairs.

Talaria aims to provide education and awareness in life, so that people can use our tools to plan for their end-of-life. When people take advance steps, their families are able to focus on what is most important and spend less time searching for documents or information that is not anywhere to be found. For those who do not want to think about these tasks, Talaria offers services where they can hire a representative to complete these tasks on their behalf. Our mission is to make the experience of loss easier and allow survivors to be focused on themselves instead of these processes.
