Intern: Own Chicago User Acquisition

Chicago —We prefer you to be in Chicago so you understand the market, our audience and the environment we build in. Meeting virtually/in- person 1-2x a week

Unpaid to start, with room to grow as we do

About us

Girl Dinner Social is a women-only iOS app helping women in Chicago actually make friends — not just match with them. We're small and early, so nothing you propose disappears into a backlog. If your idea's good, we test it fast and you see the result within days.

What you'll be doing

You'll own getting more women in Chicago to sign up — with real ownership over how.

• Get inside our users' heads. Know what actually makes someone stop scrolling and download, and turn that into ideas without waiting on a brief from us
• Explore different ways to get people excited — activation ideas, hooks, incentives — and actually build and launch them, not just pitch them
• Go find people wherever they are — partnerships, campus and community outreach, referral pushes, whatever gets us in front of the right women
• Watch what's working and go all-in on it
• Team up with our social media intern to riff on content ideas together, while you own the acquisition channels outside organic Instagram/Tik Tok

Who you are

• You can put yourself in our users' shoes and know what makes us different from every other social app — without us spelling it out for you
• You come up with your own ideas and run with them; you don't need a brainstorm session with the founder to get moving
• You're scrappy — you'll test five small things before waiting for one perfect plan
• You're comfortable reaching out to people or organizations cold
• You can track and report on what's working without someone asking you to
• You're based in or near Chicago
