Position Overview

Niyo is actively seeking a strategic and highly motivated Product Growth & Community Intern to spearhead the structural development and expansion of our Student Ambassador Program. The student demographic represents a critical user base for Niyo, driven by our seamless, credit-score-independent onboarding experience.

In this role, you will take ownership of our affiliate-driven Student Ambassador initiative, building upon our foundational framework ( https://goniyo.com/student/ niyo-ambassador ) to establish a robust, scalable community growth engine. Your primary focus will be recruiting top-tier student leaders—specifically semester exchange students from premier Indian institutions (IITs, IIMs) and Indian students pursuing higher education abroad—to advocate for the Niyo Card and drive product adoption through structured incentive programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Acquisition & Enrollment: Design and execute targeted outreach campaigns to identify, vet, and onboard high-potential Student Ambassadors across designated Tier-1 domestic and international university campuses.
• Affiliate Program & Incentive Management: Formulate and oversee the incentivization framework. You will manage the distribution of unique referral links, monitor attribution metrics, and facilitate the timely deployment of Niyo-led cash and reward incentives for top-performing ambassadors.
• Community Leadership & Product Advocacy: Empower ambassadors to establish and lead Niyo community groups within their respective colleges. Guide them in executing localized strategies to influence prospective and existing students to adopt the Niyo Card.
• Event Coordination & Engagement: Conceptualize and host periodic virtual events, networking sessions, and webinars designed to foster ambassador development, maintain high engagement levels, and share best practices.
• Product Feedback & Ideation: Act as the liaison between the student community and Niyo’s internal teams. Aggregate qualitative feedback and generate actionable product ideas from ambassadors to enhance the overall Niyo student experience.

Qualifications & Skills

• Academic Background: Currently pursuing or recently graduated with a degree from a Tier 1 College. Interested to build career in Product, Business, Marketing, Management, or a related field.
• Domain Knowledge: Foundational understanding of growth marketing, community building, and affiliate or referral tracking mechanisms.
• Communication & Networking: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to present professionally and build professional relationships globally.
• Project Management: Strong organizational capabilities with the aptitude to build processes from the ground up and manage multiple program verticals autonomously.
• Strategic Insight: An informed perspective on the international student ecosystem, study-abroad processes, and the financial pain points experienced by this demographic is highly advantageous.

What We Offer

• High-Impact Role: The opportunity to architect and scale a core growth channel at a leading fintech organization.
• Professional Development: Direct mentorship from Niyo’s Product Growth and Business leadership teams.
• Compensation: A competitive baseline stipend complemented by performance-based bonuses tied directly to the ambassador program's acquisition metrics.
