About the Role
We are looking for a Founder’s Office Assistant Intern to work directly with the founder across administrative support, hiring coordination, research, and general company operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who is organized, proactive, detail-oriented, and interested in learning how an independent production company and startup-style business are built from the ground up.
