Your Role

We're looking for a scrappy, curious
Product-Led Growth Intern
to join our fast-moving team at Virtual Internships. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves experimenting, automating, and finding creative ways to drive user growth — without just "running ads."

You'll work on real growth experiments from day one: scraping leads, engaging communities, testing messaging, and measuring what actually works. If you've ever built a bot, hacked together an automation, or grown a small community — this internship is your chance to turn that hustle into impact.

This position will be a
stipend-based
,
full-time
internship with the duration of 3 or 6 months.

What You'll Be Doing

• Find and engage student communities (Discord, Reddit, WhatsApp, LinkedIn groups).
• Scrape job boards / directories to build lead lists (Python or no-code tools is fine).
• Use AI tools to generate and personalize outreach messages.
• Run small growth experiments and track results (simple funnel numbers, not dashboards).
• Write clear copy for landing pages, emails, and in-product nudges.

Why You'll Love This Role

You will learn about:

• How to acquire users without just "running ads."
• How to automate repetitive outreach.
• How to measure whether something actually worked.
• How growth loops are built inside products.

This role is perfect for someone who is:

• Move fast, don't wait for instructions.
• Can google your way out of a problem.
• Care about results, not looking busy.
• (P.S. The secret password is "moo"—you'll need it later)

Who We're Looking For

Your Attributes & Experience

Not "software engineering." Just:

• Basic Python or willingness to learn quickly.
• Tools like: PhantomBuster, Zapier/Make, Airtable, Notion, ChatGPT, Sheets.
• Comfort with digging around the web, exporting data, cleaning it.

If you've built
anything scrappy
before (a bot, automation, script, or dataset), that's enough.

You stand out from the crowd if you have experience in:

• Python basics
• Running or growing any community (college club counts)
• Copywriting that doesn't sound like a brochure

Consider this our wish-list. We know there will be great candidates that don't meet every one of these criteria—if you're passionate about the role and have early-stage startup experience, we'd still love to hear from you.
