We’re looking for a part-time Startup Growth Intern to help us connect with local youth sports organizations, especially youth hockey teams, across Minnesota. We’ve received excellent feedback from early partners, and now we're focused on growing our customer base. You’ll play a key role in expanding our reach by introducing echoecho to team leaders and helping schedule conversations with our team.

Success in this role means helping more teams discover and adopt our platform, using clear communication, consistent follow-ups, and curiosity to learn from each conversation. You’ll be at the front lines of our growth - helping echoecho serve more communities while learning what effective, respectful outreach looks like in a real startup environment.

• Support proofreading and refining our outreach materials or website copy as needed
• Research new team contacts and associations we haven’t yet reached

• Friendly, confident, and professional on the phone
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Organized, detail-oriented, and consistent with follow-ups
• Cold calling experience preferred
• Interest in startups, youth sports, or social-impact businesses
• Experience with Google Sheets, Notion, or CRMs is a plus, but not required
