****AS SEEN ONSHARK TANK!

Job Overview:

Have you seen us on Shark Tank and want to be part of the next best start up? We are looking for Fall 2023 candidates that are gritty, tenacious, adaptable, persistent – these are the adjectives that describe the very best Storage Scholars interns. We are a quickly growing company that values both personal and professional growth for our entire team. If you thrive in fast-paced environments with a “do what it takes” philosophy, this is the place for you.

Operations Management Interns are the main point of contact with the Storage Scholars executive team for all things related to our core service offering, and you will learn A LOT working alongside us. You will learn how to think, act, and execute like a business owner. At the end of it all, we want you to leave us ready to start your own company – THAT IS OUR GOAL.

We take smart, hard-working people, and give them the hard and soft skills needed to succeed in the business world. What does that mean? We don't have a boring skills test you need to pass during your interview. This isn't finance recruitment or case prep. We look for people who fit our expanding company culture and are ready to learn.

So, what does it take to be a Storage Scholar?

Job Requirements:

• freshman, sophomore, or junior at your university pursuing an undergraduate degree – all majors welcome to apply
• an intense work ethic – we work until the job is done
• a growth mindset – we want you to grow with the company
• excellent problem solving skills – you must be able to think outside the box, and on your feet
• leadership skills – you will be leading a group of your peers through the move-in and move-out process
• exceptional communication skills – you interact with us, your customers, and your campus team constantly
• a desire to learn – this role embodies “on-the-job” learning
• high personal standards – everything we do is elite, and we expect your work to support that
• the ability to hear and implement constructive feedback – on this team, we teach each other every single day
• a high level of connectedness within your college campus – you are the boots on the ground marketing, and your campus success relies primarily on you
• a jump right in, can-do attitude – “I can't” is not in our team vocabulary

Job Responsibilities:

The internship program centers around 4 weeks of highly specialized training on a learning management system. You will work through weekly modules that instruct you on all aspects of our business, from back-end operations to client-facing interactions. Through this, you will gain exposure to high-level information as well as specific, complex processes. The LMS modules are manageable, but fast-paced: you must be able to absorb information quickly and efficiently to be successful. You must also demonstrate a strong personal responsibility for your learning. This isn't school. There are no grades to measure your dedication, just the success of the business.

We are a service-based company that offers exceptionally convenient moving and storage for college students nationwide. In order to fulfill that purpose, we rely on the talent of exceptional students like you. If we had to summarize your internship in one sentence, we'd say that you learn how to become a professional problem-solver. However, the role is SO much more than just this. You are the point person and lead manager on your campus for everything related to getting students moved conveniently, efficiently, and successfully. What might that look like?

Imagine all of this... Students need boxes to pack their belongings in. These boxes need to get from our supplier to your campus prior to distribution. Once on campus, those boxes need to get from our trucks to students, and we need to know how many of our boxes each student is planning to store. From there, each student has items that need to be picked up, inventoried in our custom inventory system, and transported to storage. In order to get those items transported, you'll need to pick up a moving truck to get belongings from point A to point B and back. Once in storage, we need a meticulous record of where every item in our possession is located within storage. This is just the start of the skillset you will develop.

In official terms, you will learn how we run the back-end of how we move thousands of students in and out of college housing, all over the country, at the exact same time. Your technical skill set will grow to include assets like back-end management, high-pressure teamwork, and mastery of integrated technology. If you have any interest in pursuing project-management based work long-term, this role will home the skills necessary for success.

Here at Storage Scholars, we push you to success, never to defeat. Here you will shadow the life of an entrepreneur with the support of executive professionals who have walked in your shoes. In the role, you will have opportunities to connect with the highest tier of professionals (yes, the elusive C-suite). We've all done some or all of your role at some point, so we're here to guide you and help you. Plus, it's not our first rodeo. We've watched intern after intern come into this role at the same place you are and emerge with success they did not even know was possible. We are so excited for you to continue that track record of success.

So, are you ready to be our next Operations Management Intern?
