Who We Are

Shape is a San Francisco based tech start-up that is working on a next generation scale that scans and digitizes your body shape in 3D. The result is a truly photorealistic avatar that helps visualize how your body is changing, where you lose fat and gain muscle.

Graduated from the famous startup accelerator Y-Combinator, we are working on a future where everyone is able to get in a better shape. We are a team of European entrepreneurs with several years of experience in developing and selling technology products.

Job Description

We are seeking a creative and energetic Marketing & Community Coordinator Intern to support our growing team in San Francisco starting in summer 2024. The internship is for 6-12 months (the range is flexible and can be discussed) with the possibility to turn into a full-time position after graduation.

Do you love health, fitness & sports? Do you have an unhealthy obsession with following fitness influencers? Are you fascinated by exciting new innovations? Look no further, because as an intern at Shape, you will be able to indulge your obsessions even further by engaging with the fitness scene and creating “healthy content” around our product.

We are a small, busy team, looking for a highly motivated self-starter who is a great team player as well as an effective independent contributor. We’re seeking someone with an open mind who can learn from others, but at the same time is not afraid to step up and work very independently. We're looking for a versatile individual who is able to turn hands to a range of jobs. You’ll find yourself creating inspiring and insightful content, dealing with home users and business customers, and participating in various expos and conventions in major cities around the United States (the list is not exhaustive). There’s never a dull moment at Shape, and every day is different!

As part of our team, you will play an active role in growing our community, our marketing strategy, and helping us engage with our b2b and home users so can further improve the product and user experience. We will give your entrepreneurial spirit free rein and allow you to take on considerable responsibility and flexibility as you familiarize yourself with our core business. But don't worry, we do not expect you to know everything right away, hence we will actively assist your learning and skill acquisition during your internship.
