- University Partnership Outreach — Identify and coordinate with student organizations, academic departments, and university offices to facilitate institutional engagement opportunities (tabling, panels, academic events).
- Event Planning & Execution — Help plan, coordinate, and staff on-campus events such as information sessions, tabling activations, and academic workshops in collaboration with student organizations.
- User Feedback & Customer Discovery — Conduct structured interviews and surveys with students to generate product insights and surface unmet needs. Document and synthesize findings for the product team.
- Growth Experiment Design — Develop and test campus-specific user acquisition hypotheses. Track results using performance metrics and iterate on approach.
- Partnership Proposals — Draft outreach materials and partnership briefs targeting student clubs, consulting groups, and academic departments.

- Analytical mindset with an ability to synthesize research into actionable recommendations
- Organized, self-directed, and comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment
