About the Internship

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.
