Marketing & Ops Intern (sports tech startup)

What We Do

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

What You’ll Do

As a Marketing & Ops 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. We are happy to work with your program if obtaining class credits is an option!
 

Responsibilities:

● Perform market research/due diligence to identify growth opportunities, target markets, and competitive positioning.

● Prospect new coaches with creative, compelling and break-through-the noise tactics and strategies. 

● Support DTD operational needs across the platform, including coach onboarding, client support, and marketplace quality.

● Execute SEO and marketing initiatives, including content creation, keyword research, landing page optimization, and growth experiments.

● Help launch pilot program development and implementation.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be excited about working at a sports tech startup, scaling 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: May 2026. The exact start date is entirely flexible to your scheduling constraints and preferences.

Expected Weekly Hours: 10-15 hours.

Expected Duration: This internship will extend through the end of Summer 2026. 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:

- Fully remote work

- Learning opportunities to further your career

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