Description:

You will be fully immersed in all aspects of this business group over two concurrent initiatives that will provide you the opportunity to fully engage with a Toronto startup, develop credibility in the tech scene in the city, and be spotlighted at the center of a large and wide-spread technology collective. And although we work hard, were super-laid back, dress-down, and swear, so you dont have to be stuck in some stuffy gig and space you dont really like. Serious. Oh, and we wont call you an intern. Unless you want us to.Some candidates will have the potential for spending a good portion of this working remotely as well (home, library, beach, coffee shop – we dont care, as long as youre being productive!).

What youll be doing:

Helping set the ongoing strategy for an already revenue-generating startup, building-up the business in the areas of product and business strategy, product development , marketing, social media management and web redesign, sales, account servicing, and operations.

In promoting technology in Toronto, you will be instrumental in setting the direction of this 2,000+ member networking group by helping develop its evolving long-term strategy, actively connecting with partner and network businesses, managing the events and sponsors, coordinating social media efforts and coordinating efforts in web redesign.

This gets you knee-deep in many aspects of being an entrepreneur, working for a startup, building a technology forum, growing into a potent technologist. Your involvement in running our events and attendance at other tech-related conferences, seminars and workshops will help build your prowess and network. All-in, an internship with us could lead you to:

• a long-term PAID contract with us
• launching your very-own startup
• knowing enough people in the industry to launch your own startup WITH co-founders!

Qualifications:

 Available 20-30 hours a week
 Strong English written and verbal communication skills
 Competent in Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint
 Knowledge of programming languages and digital graphic design is a plus
