This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your career at the intersection of product, data, and user experience.

Who You Are:

  • Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program with a strong interest in product operations.
  • A Passion for Product & Tech: You are fascinated by how technology products are built, launched, and improved. You're eager to learn and contribute to the product lifecycle.
  • Curious about AI: You don't need to be an expert, but you're an enthusiast interested in learning about the latest AI technologies and tools and their potential to improve user experiences.
  • Analytical & Data-Curious: You have a knack for looking at data to find patterns and answer questions. You're comfortable with spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) and are excited to learn more about data analysis.
  • A Problem-Solver: You enjoy tackling challenges and are motivated to find efficient solutions. You're organized, detail-oriented, and not afraid to ask questions to get to the root of a problem.
  • Eager to Learn Technical Skills: You have an interest in learning data analysis tools. Any exposure to SQL or other data tools is a plus, but a strong desire to learn is most important.

What You'll Do:

Nice To Have:

  • Familiarity with Automation Tools: Any experience playing with tools like Zapier or other no-code/low-code platforms is a bonus.
  • Data Analysis Exposure: Basic experience with SQL, Python (Pandas), or data visualization tools like Tableau or Looker.

  • Customer-Facing Experience: Experience in a role where you directly interacted with users or customers (e.g., customer support, community management).

Our Values

  • Empathy, Trust & Candor

We put ourselves in the shoes of our colleagues and customers and don’t shy away from uncomfortable conversations, instead building trust through honest and direct feedback.

  • Bias for Action

We practice high-velocity decision-making, clear-eyed that we often operate with incomplete information. Growing quickly means it’s OK to be wrong, so long as we learn from our mistakes and course correct!

  • Always Be Learning

We’re a curious bunch, and with AI transforming our workplace we encourage everyone to learn from each other, compounding our knowledge and experience to help us change an entire industry.

  • Act Like an Owner

We work long, hard, and smart, building products that delight our users and drive growth. Your ability to impact Instawork is limited only by your courage and conviction, not your job description.
