The Role
We’re hiring a high-agency, entrepreneurial intern to join our Strategy & Growth team. You’ll work directly with the founders and help execute key initiatives across customer success, analytics, and go-to-market. You’ll have real responsibility, fast feedback loops, and the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing startup.
What You’ll Work On

- Help improve visibility for clients by analyzing AI-generated search performance
- Assist with growth ops and strategy: outbound research, market analysis, and sales enablement
- Join sales and customer calls to learn the ins and outs of startup building
- Support live demos, sales experiments, and reporting on what’s working
Who You Are
- Rising junior or senior pursuing Computer Science, Statistics, Information Systems, or Business
- Bonus points for experience or curiosity in marketing tech (e.g. SEO, CRM tools, analytics)
- A strong communicator who thinks clearly, writes well, and thrives in ambiguity
- Scrappy and self-starting — you’ve built something on your own, led a student org, launched a side project, or just found ways to make things happen
- Comfortable with fast-paced, startup-style work where priorities shift and solutions aren’t handed to you
- Based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate to San Francisco for the summer (we’re in-person)
What You’ll Get
- Direct experience with enterprise clients and high-growth brands
- Hands-on mentorship from founders with experience across multiple startups
