Brand & UGC Intern (sports tech startup)

**** If you want to apply, please write an email stating your interest to the company’s Founder, Gene Williams, along with a copy of your resume: Gene@athletesuntapped.com

What We Do

At our core, Athletes Untapped is an online marketplace connecting athletes with private coaches for in-person training. Think Airbnb or Rover, but for youth sports coaching.

We work with thousands of coaches and families across the country, and our mission is rooted in helping athletes reach their potential through great coaching. Many of us, including our founders, were athletes and coaches ourselves—and we're building the platform we wish existed growing up.

What You’ll Do

This is a UGC-focused role. As a UGC & Brand Content Intern, you'll help grow Athletes Untapped by creating authentic, engaging content that introduces our platform to athletes, coaches, and sports communities.

You'll be responsible for publishing content 1x per day across all four of our major social media accounts, helping us tell better stories, connect with our audience, and build a recognizable brand in youth sports.

You'll work alongside some of the best content creators and campaign managers in the business, gaining hands-on experience in UGC, short-form video, social media marketing, and performance-driven content strategy.

UGC is the future of marketing. This is an opportunity to learn the craft from experienced professionals, develop your creative instincts, and become a better storyteller.
 

Responsibilities:

• Create and publish one piece of UGC-driven content per day across Athletes Untapped's four major social media accounts.
• Develop authentic, engaging short-form videos that resonate with athletes, parents, coaches, and sports communities.
• Collaborate with experienced creators and campaign managers to brainstorm concepts, develop content, and improve creative performance.
• Tell compelling stories about athlete development, coaching, confidence, and the private training experience.
• Identify trends, formats, and storytelling opportunities across social media platforms.
• Learn how to evaluate content performance and use insights to improve future campaigns.
• Help grow Athletes Untapped's brand and community through consistent, high-quality content.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be excited about working at a sports tech startup, scaling a two-sided marketplace, and learning to build effective growth campaigns. You should also have:

- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

- Critical thinking and analytical skills

- Flexibility and coachability. We’re always fine-tuning our approach and we expect you to do the same.

Expected Start Date: October 2026. The exact start date is entirely flexible to your scheduling constraints and preferences.

Expected Weekly Hours: 10-15 hours.

Expected Duration: This internship will extend through the end of Fall 2026. At that point, together we can evaluate if you would like to continue further with Athletes Untapped’s ongoing staffing needs.

We are clearly biased, but you will have the opportunity to work with a world class group of people. We offer everyone on our team:

- Fully remote work

- Learning opportunities to further your career

- The opportunity to contribute to a fun, upbeat, and fully engaged culture
