Growth & Partnerships Intern

Growth & Partnerships Intern - Fuego and Friends

Fuego and Friends is a bilingual children’s entertainment brand combining original music, memorable characters, and a free learning app that makes learning languages fun. We’ve built the songs, characters, and creative vision. Now we’re looking for an ambitious, resourceful person to help bring Fuego and Friends to more families.

This is an early-stage opportunity with real ownership across partnerships, outreach, and audience growth. You’ll work directly with the founder to identify new opportunities, build relationships, and help shape how the brand grows.

Although this role is currently unpaid, exceptional results will be rewarded through performance-based bonuses. Bonuses may be earned for agreed-upon milestones such as securing a meaningful partnership, opening a valuable distribution channel, or helping the brand achieve significant audience growth. Specific milestones and bonus amounts will be established clearly in advance.

As Fuego grows, there is also real potential for this internship to develop into a paid role for someone who plays a meaningful part in building the brand from the ground up.
