Piaggio Fast Forward is seeking a social media intern to help grow awareness of our brand and product through our social media channels!

PFF was founded in 2015 by the Piaggio Group, the manufacturers of Vespa, Aprilia, and Moto Guzzi, to rethink how to better move people and goods in urban settings. The company’s mission is to help people move better, further, faster, and more enjoyably. We build robots and lightweight transportation solutions that travel behind and beside people on the move.

We launched our 1st product, GitaTM, in February 2017. Gita is a cargo carrying robot that can follow a human operator or move autonomously by itself in a mapped environment (think about it like a personal pack mule). Gita can carry up to 40 pounds and move at up to 22 mph, all with a zero turning radius. We’ve been featured in the WSJ, Techcrunch, Wired, CNN, and over 200 other news outlets and Forrester research said we will “change the way people work.” Join our 30-person team in Boston as we reinvent the future of transportation.
