Internship at Pre-seed Startup (Remote)

Remote
Part Time
Unpaid
  • Responsibilities

    We are looking for a "jack-of-most-trades" intern who will work directly with the Co-Founders and may be asked to support anything from customer happiness to project management. This is a ground-floor opportunity at a fast-growing startup that has clients and partners internationally (Europe and Australia/New Zealand), and is leveraging momentum to be a disruptive force in the publishing tech industry.

    You will work closely together with the founders on a wide range of tasks. Being an early stage start-up, there is very little formality and lots of opportunity to get involved in all areas of the business, build your skills, and make a real mark on the company. This is a ground-floor opportunity.

    For anyone interested in startups, technology, publishing, or one day starting their own business, this is THE internship to apply for. We are looking for someone as enthusiastic, motivated, and driven as we are with a great attitude to boot. :)

    Specific responsibilities include:

    Relationship Management

    • Manage author and partner happiness
    • Assist in author communication efforts
    • Coordinate, schedule and participate in author meetings
    • Provide customer support

    Project Management

    • Assist in managing client project roadmaps
    • Oversee author roadmap progress
    • Administer changes to project roadmaps

    Operations

    • Work directly with leadership team on day-to-day operations
    • Assist in content marketing efforts
    • Elevate technical issues to leadership and technology team
  • Qualifications
    • Are a self-starter, independent and detail-oriented
    • Excellent written, verbal communication and interpersonal skills
    • Very strong prioritization and organization skills
    • Are a creative problem solver
    • Pursuing or completed a BA/BS degree at a four-year university
    • (Plus, not required) Work experience or strong interest in the publishing space
  • Desired skills

    Google Suite, Asana (not req), Trello (not req), Slack (not req)

  • Compensation
    This is a 3-month unpaid internship (length has some flexibility) with the potential to convert into a full-time paid internship this Summer. As we grow, we will also be looking for great people to join the team full time. A successful intern will receive glowing recommendations from the two Co-Founders. Looking for candidates that can work with us 10-20 hours a week (but 10 hours at the minimum, preferably at least 15 hours of availability).
