Position Summary
We are seeking an MBA Intern to work directly with Nestig’s co-founders on building and launching a new product line. This role offers the opportunity to be a hands on builder across strategy, product development, operations, and go-to-market execution.

This is a highly entrepreneurial position designed for someone who aspires to start their own consumer company and is eager to learn by doing. You will operate with significant ownership — driving key decisions and executing across multiple facets of the business — while receiving support and mentorship from experienced operators.

Internship dates are flexible between May 11 and August 7, with a minimum two-month commitment required.

This full-time position will be based out of our NYC office (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays), with no flexibility for remote full-time.

• Build financial models and track key business metrics;
• Design and run scrappy, fast-paced experiments across marketing, growth, and operations;
• Take full ownership of workstreams, operating with accountability and a strong bias toward action.

• Currently pursuing an MBA
• Deep interest in consumer brands, startups, and entrepreneurship
• Strong desire to start your own company in the future
• Highly action-oriented — you default to doing, not just analyzing
• Thrives in ambiguity while driving toward clear, concrete outcomes
• Resourceful and scrappy, with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get things done
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

• Hands-on experience launching a real business that goes live during your internship
