Business & Marketing Internship
Location: 1871 in Chicago
Overview
One of Chicago’s newest tech startups, Giftr, is a gift idea sharing community, connecting
people who need gift ideas with people who always have the best gift ideas. We are looking for
two unpaid part-time interns. If you LOVE searching for great gifts, and believe that friends don’t
let friends give bad gifts, then we’d like nothing more than to have you join our team.
As far as startups go, we’re proud to have two technical app developer co-founders who are
also both veterans of strong careers in international finance. As an intern, you’ll get:
- Direct interaction with startup founders
- The opportunity to grow a company from the ground up
- Flexible hours and exposure at 1871, Chicago’s top startup innovation hub
- Career mentorship (in startups, technology & business/finance)
Qualifications
You won’t be micro-managed so a self-motivated, can-do problem-solving attitude, and a
creative spark are what you’ll need. We’re looking for:
- Passion and enthusiasm for gifting
- Accountability through prioritizing tasks to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Creativity and contribution beyond tasks assigned
- Strong communication skills; writing samples a plus (e.g. blog posts)
- Basic HTML and CSS a plus (we can also teach you)
What you’ll do
We’ll never ask you to get coffee, though we will definitely ask you to:
- Conduct first-hand research and translate results into user stories
- Be a curated gift idea guru
- Assist in managing Giftr’s blog and social media content
- Generate buzz to attract new users and develop the Giftr community
- Design and structure engaging email marketing campaigns
