Paid Part-time Intern

About Popcorn Growth

We are an award winning, TikTok-first, influencer marketing agency and social media company, here to shake up stuffy, old-school agency practices. 

We know that success on TikTok for brands depends on speed and efficiency.

We know that creators do their best work when we let them be the creatives.

We’ve operationalized the whole influencer marketing process so that we can help brands move at the speed of TikTok. 

Now, we are looking for passionate industry disruptors who are ready to move as fast as we do. 

Job Description

We are looking for a resourceful, driven and results-oriented intern to work with the CEO and help drive initiatives critical to the success of the organization.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the successful candidate will take ownership of a number of projects across (but not limited to) growth, sales, new product development and operations. Working with a fast-moving and commercially-savvy CEO, this will be an environment that will push you to challenge the status-quo - all at a pace that is exacting and exciting!

This is a unique opportunity to get direct access to the CEO and leadership team, and learn what it takes to build successful businesses: suitable for ambitious individuals who are looking for career accelerants. Successful individuals could exit into full time positions with the company.

The role is part-time and remote. We are open for individuals who are attending a full time course.

Objectives

• Coordinate change projects with impact toward core business metrics (revenue / cost / customer satisfaction)

• Act as the proxy to the CEO in driving intermediate milestones and key results, through direct action or influencing the right stakeholders

• Assist and communicate with leadership team in decision-making, program management, and initiative implementation

• Constantly propose improvements and initiatives to the CEO and leadership team with the resilience to try again

• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO in key accounts management

Our Values

• We think before we understand, and then we implement.

• We prioritize high-impact actions.

• We apply judgment on:

  • When to get involved and when to get out of the way.

  • When to be an independent problem solver and when to ask for help.

• Good and fast is better than slow and perfect.

• Stuff gets done, stuff gets done well.

• There are days we are motivated, there are days we are not motivated. Every day, we are disciplined.

• We trust each other because of transparency.

• We reward performance, not hours worked, not tenure.

We are:

• NOT Looking to be perfect/excel at every task. We are a rapidly growing startup that values practicality. We look for team members who find the happy medium between getting all the information and getting the job done

• NOT going to micromanage. You are encouraged to ask: if this goes wrong, will it significantly affect the company/process/client? If not, make a decision and move on.

• NOT shy from being brutally honest with your teammates.
