About the Internship
A WHEREFIT placement is different to your typical internship. This is an on-site placement where you will work directly with the co-founders of WHEREFIT and the wider team.
We give you significant responsibility from Day 1 so we prefer to call you an Associate rather than an intern. You’ll do real work to help achieve our mission and goals, rather than simply supporting or shadowing our team.
You will be trusted to secure and manage fitness/wellbeing partners, and you will learn how to pitch to and convince external stakeholders to be a part of the WHEREFIT ecosystem - an important learning experience.
You will be involved in onboarding and monitoring new partners on our platform while also researching new verticals for WHEREFIT to explore.
You will learn how to use leading software tools including ActiveCampaign (CRM), Airtable (database), Slack (comms), Asana (task management), Intercom (customer engagement), Google Suite (productivity), Miro (whiteboarding), Notion (wiki) and much more.
You will be exposed to a dynamic, fast-growing technology startup located in Fishburners, one of Australia’s leading startup coworking spaces in the Sydney Startup Hub. This means you will have direct exposure to 270+ high quality startups of various maturities and industries.You will also have free member access to workshops and numerous learning, networking and startup community events within Fishburners and the hub. Examples of recent speakers have included the former Spotify CTO, Koala’s co-founder as well as key leads and managers from Google, Atlassian and Canva.
You will be part of an exciting startup culture, working alongside talented and driven individuals, and contributing to the success of a company that is helping businesses do better for their employees.
You will have access to all of our fitness and wellbeing perks too!
