Growth Strategy Analyst Intern

Growth Strategy Analyst Intern

Compensation: Unpaid

Role Overview

At BetSmart, we’re building a smarter, more data-native sports betting platform powered by advanced analytics and strategic clarity. As a Growth Strategy Analyst Intern, you’ll work cross-functionally across business development, product, and marketing to uncover opportunities, shape high-leverage initiatives, and directly influence revenue expansion and user acquisition.

We’re looking for individuals who thrive at the intersection of business insight and quantitative rigor — problem-solvers who have pursued highly demanding academic fields such as business, finance, economics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics, or philosophy, and want to apply that mindset in a fast-moving startup environment.

• Build dashboards and visual reports to track OKRs and performance benchmarks.
• Evaluate A/B test results and experimentation data to support rapid iteration cycles.
   

Strategic Projects

• Work on cross-functional initiatives that improve operational efficiency, retention, and monetization.
