Job description

We're looking for a Product Growth Intern to work directly with the founders on real growth experiments. You'll get end-to-end exposure to how an early-stage AI company finds, activates, and retains its first users. Start dates are flexible and we accept applications on a rolling basis throughout 2026.

What you'll work on

• Run weekly growth experiments end-to-end: hypothesis, build, ship, measure, write-up.
• Own one user-facing growth surface (landing page section, onboarding step, or referral loop) and iterate on it.
• Build lightweight content and creative assets (design mockups, social posts, landing copy) to test acquisition channels.
• Keep a clean dashboard of the metrics we care about and flag what's moving before anyone asks.

Who we're looking for

• Currently a student or recent graduate, comfortable working in-person in NYC.
• Personal projects, side hustles, or creator track record — evidence that you ship things on your own without being told to.
• Curious about AI and design. You don't need to be technical, but you should be able to learn a new tool in an afternoon.
• Strong written communication. You can turn a messy slack thread into a one-page memo.
• High agency. Default to action; ask forgiveness, not permission, on small things.
• Bonus: past experience in art, design, social media, or creator / influencer work. We love candidates who genuinely enjoy visual / creative work and have a developed sense of taste for what looks good.

Why you will enjoy working here

• Direct mentorship from the founders.
• Real ownership of a surface that real users touch — not coffee runs and slide decks.
• See how an early-stage AI company actually operates, day by day.
• Path to a full-time role for interns who knock it out of the park.
