    ABOUT ELECTIVES

    Electives is on a mission to build the most engaging online school for employees that has ever existed. We have quickly grown to over 50 employer clients globally and we are backed by top investors, including Boston Seed, Accomplice, and Bertelsmann Media.

    We are building a new kind of Learning and Development (L&D) and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) platform that connects employees to unique teachers - from pro athletes, FBI agents, top professors, social justice advocates and more. We believe that great teachers can be life-changing and we help organizations facilitate learning experiences that their employees love.

    THE ELECTIVES CULTURE: 

    Since we help drive learning cultures at other organizations, it's no surprise that culture is extremely important to us. We strive to attract people who:

    • Embrace Differences and actively seek as well as respectfully express perspectives; our best learning comes from our differences.
    • Take ownership, roll up their sleeves and do something when they see an improvement opportunity.
    • Are bold and try new ways of solving old problems. After all, we are trying to change the face of learning in the workplace.
    • Commit to the best idea regardless of where it came from. Innovation is more important than tenure or titles.
    • Have a Growth Mindset. We are building something new that does not exist; we do not have all the answers, but are confident we can find them.
    • Play the long game and don't take shortcuts. We make decisions that build products and relationships for the future. 
    • Have each other's back and always look for ways to elevate their coworkers. We succeed as a team and we fail as a team.

    WHY JOIN US?

    • Create a meaningful impact: Our team has big dreams to change how we think about learning as adults and what quality learning can do for employees' and companies' futures.
    • Get access to unlimited learning: Every employee can take any Elective on any given day. We also provide a learning stipend for you to learn on your own outside of our offerings.
    • Be a part of the founding team: Help build a company and shape the culture from the ground up as one of our first ten employees. 
    • Get compensated: we provide competitive salary, equity, and benefits. Electives will also make a donation to the charity of your choice during your first week.
    • Spend more time with your loved ones: Enjoy flexible work hours and location, including a home office stipend. We also have a flexible vacation/time-off policy with volunteer and DEI days off included.

    Fall Internship (~10 hours/week for 10-12 weeks, PAID)

    ABOUT THE ROLE

    Electives is looking for a part-time Fall Intern who is ready to dive in and wear many hats. This is an opportunity to get full exposure to an early stage startup and support across all elements of the company. You are someone who loves diving into the small tasks, but is also eager to provide feedback at a high strategic level. Most importantly, you love learning as much as we do, and want to ensure that in every Electives class, learners have the best experience possible. You will work 1:1 with the founders and early team, as well see how the company works with customers, end users, and investors.

    WHO YOU ARE: 

    You are a go-getter, a natural and authentic relationship builder, and an active listener. You always put clients' interests before your own as you creatively hustle to find solutions and make connections. You are game for “boots on the ground” level work, but you're also a high level, strategic thinker. You're not afraid of challenging the status quo and you love the early-stage startup life: you thrive working in a fast-paced environment with lots of unknowns where you need to constantly iterate and adapt.
