Responsibilities

• Brand Pipeline (~50%) - Research and build prospect lists of DTC/CPG brands that fit Clap’s platform (youth-focused, challenge-friendly, socially active)
• Draft personalized outreach emails and help book intro calls with brand prospects
• Prep for brand calls: competitive research, tailored talking points, customized pitch decks
• Join brand and creator calls — first as a shadow, then as a contributor, then leading portions
• Track the pipeline: who we’ve contacted, where conversations stand, what’s next
• Help capture metrics, draft write-ups, and package our first case study — this is a key deliverable for outbound and fundraising
• Help onboard our first brand partners — manage campaign setup, timelines, and deliverables as we bring brands onto the platform
• Build repeatable processes for brand campaigns (briefs, approvals, launch checklists) that we can eventually productize into the Clap platform
• Coordinate with our marketing agency to ensure influencer activations and brand campaigns launch in sync
• Growth Experiments (~30%) - Help design and run 2-3 growth experiments per month: landing pages, ads, tracking, and readouts

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or similar
• Strong writer - you can draft a cold email that doesn’t sound like a template
• Naturally curious and resourceful - you Google it before you ask
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast pace (this is a startup, not a syllabus)
• Interested in creator economy, social platforms, and interactive content

Nice To Have

• Bonus: experience with AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or similar
• Bonus: familiarity with Meta/TikTok Ads Manager, Webflow, or influencer marketing platforms

Benefits

• Direct mentorship from Clap’s CEO - you’ll learn startup operations, fundraising, and go-to-market firsthand
• Paid access to Claude Co-work and other AI tools as part of your workflow
• Real ownership of projects that matter (not busy work)
• Intern-to-hire path based on performance
• Flexible hours - we’re open to adjusting around class schedules
