Startup Operations Intern (In-Person, Downtown Austin)

15–20 hours/week | In-Person | Paid Internship

We’re hiring a smart, hungry operations intern to work in person at our downtown Austin office with two founders building multiple fast-moving businesses.

This is not a remote role.

You will be in the office, in the room, close to decision-making.

If you need constant direction, motivation, or structure — this is not the role for you.

You’ll work across three real, revenue-generating businesses:

• Social Cuts – a creative studio producing short-form content for founders and brands
• CreateAProWebsite – an education business helping people build online businesses
• PickleballHub – a fast-growing pickleball brand and media platform

This role is a mix of operations, project management, and execution.

Operations & Admin

• Help keep projects moving across all three businesses
• Organize tasks, deadlines, and workflows
• Support founders with day-to-day operational needs

Project Management

• Help manage editors and content workflows for Social Cuts
• Track deliverables and timelines
• Review editors’ work for quality before it goes to clients
• Communicate with clients over time as trust is built

Content & AI Tools

• Use tools like HeyGen to translate and localize video content
• Help manage content pipelines for education and media brands

The scope will grow quickly if you perform well.

You are:

• Smart, resourceful, and self-directed
• Comfortable figuring things out without hand-holding
• Organized but adaptable
• Motivated by responsibility and learning
• Interested in startups, media, or entrepreneurship
• Able to take feedback without ego

You don’t need years of experience — but you do need:

• Good judgment
• Clear communication
• High standards
• A bias toward action

This is:

• In-person startup experience
• Direct access to founders
• Real responsibility
• A steep learning curve
• Opportunity to grow into a bigger role

This is not:

• A corporate internship
• A remote role
• A slow, structured environment
• A job where someone tells you exactly what to do every hour

• 15–20 hours per week
• In-person at our downtown Austin office
• Paid (discussed with qualified candidates)
• Flexible schedule, but reliability is required

Send:

1. A short note on why this role interests you
2. Any relevant experience (school, work, side projects — all count)
3. Optional but encouraged: An example of something you taught yourself or figured out independently
4. Favorite music artists
5. Your goals this year

We care more about how you think than what’s on your resume.

If you want to:

• Learn how real startups operate
• Be close to founders
• Take ownership early
• Build leverage instead of just padding a resume

You’ll like this role.
