Growth & Strategy Intern - Fall 2024 - Sports Tech Startup

Athletes Untapped. Our mission is to provide young athletes with better opportunities to succeed.

What We Do

At our core, we are an online marketplace connecting parents/kids with private sports coaches for in-person training. Think Airbnb or Rover, but for sports training. It’s our job to help private sports coaches grow, or start, their business by providing them with the technology & marketing needed to succeed.

What You’ll Do

As a Growth & Strategy Manager, you'll embody our mission of providing young athletes with better opportunities to succeed. A strong work ethic, humble approach, and willingness to be a team player are key qualities in a successful hire for our team. Please note that this opportunity is for a remote, part-time, unpaid internship role.

Responsibilities:

● Perform market research/due diligence, & prospect new coaches with creative, compelling and break-through-the noise tactics and strategies.

community engagement, etc.)

● Support web development design efforts

● Participate in weekly strategic planning meetings with leadership team

● Help execute pilot program development and implementation

● Participate in calls with community members, company partners, etc.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be excited about working at a sports tech startup, building 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: Fall Semester 2024. The exact start date is flexible to your scheduling constraints and preferences.

Expected Weekly Hours: 10-20 hours.

Expected Duration: This internship will extend through the end of Fall 2024. 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:

- Flexibility for remote work

- Learning opportunities to further your career

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