Marketing and Business Development Intern

We are gearing up for Goaloop's next phase of growth, beyond beta, and are seeking three Marketing + Business Development Interns to become important members of our small, innovative team.

You will gain experience in all aspects critical to the growth of a startup, from social media campaigns and content marketing to unconventional PR and forging strategic partnerships. You will be encouraged to participate in brainstorming sessions and to contribute your ideas.

Goaloop interns have gone onto rewarding careers at Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Bloomberg, S&P Global, and elsewhere – including Goaloop! Interns at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-grad levels are important members of our team and culture, and have joined us from colleges across the country, including from multiple schools within Columbia University, Rutgers, Cornell Engineering, Cornell’s Dyson School of Business, Tufts, Fordham Law School, University at Buffalo, University of Michigan, Pacific Lutheran University, UCLA, Drexel University, Middlebury College, and Barnard College.

Goaloop is patent pending. Many on our team have connections to Columbia University. The Yale Law School's Entrepreneurship & Innovation Clinic invited us to be a client before the pandemic.

What we're building: Got a goal? Goaloop it! State your goal on Goaloop, and people and resources appear to help you achieve it. Goaloop helps you reach your goals, and connects the world through goals. If your goal is to learn the guitar, you'll see goals to teach the guitar. Connecting goals, we can achieve anything together.

Most social networks connect the world based on 'who', Goaloop connects the world based on 'what' -- what your goals are. Our model expands social circles and increases opportunities for everyone, skyrocketing collaboration and innovation.

We are a small, growing team, located close to Columbia University's main campus in New York City. We welcome great candidates near and far; working remotely is an option -- we come together for team meetings, in person and online, depending on your location.
