Sales and Marketing Intern

Company Overview:

Mentee is a vibrant, fast-paced startup dedicated to revolutionizing the way our society thinks about teenage motivation. We use a combination of technology, psychology, and human accountability to help teenagers find their purpose, turn this into action, and find sustainable long-term motivation. To do this, we've studied the work of psychologists, life coaches, wellness directors, and more very closely to create methods that actually work for our students (evidenced by our 100% customer retention rate). We also believe in the power of having an accountability buddy, which is why we pair all of students with a personalized college peer coach who has already been through the difficulties of high school life like growing up in the social media era, facing life after COVID, etc. Our peer coaches serve as positive role models for our students :)

Location: Remote (Philadelphia, NYC, Seattle/Bellevue WA areas preferred)
Hours: Mostly asynchronous. Expect late afternoon availability for team meetings for east coast applicants.

Expect at least 25 hours of work per week Pay: None to begin with, but ability to earn equity and salary with great performance. I love rewarding excellent performance but this internship is also your chance to learn and grow a diverse group of skillsets.

Note: Please do not apply if you must be paid a full salary immediately. Expect that this role will entail of future equity as payment until another round is raised.
