Community Growth & Systems Intern

About Storytime

Storytime is building the platform where local businesses and creators grow together. We connect restaurants, cafés, fitness studios, retailers and other neighborhood brands with authentic local creators. Our technology makes it easy for businesses to launch, manage and measure influencer campaigns while helping creators discover opportunities with places they genuinely love.

We are a fast-growing, early-stage company with a fully custom technology platform and a small team based in SoHo, New York City. This is a chance to join Storytime at an early stage and help shape the systems, processes, and community infrastructure that will support our next phase of community growth.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Community Growth and Systems Intern to help us grow and manage Storytime’s creator community while supporting the systems and technology that power our growth.

You’ll work closely with Storytime’s founders and community, growth, partnerships, and operations teams to communicate with creators, manage internal CRM systems, and support the workflows behind sourcing, vetting, onboarding, and engaging our community. Some responsibilities will follow established processes and recurring tasks, but you’ll also be expected to learn how those systems work, identify inefficiencies, and contribute ideas for making them faster, smarter, and more automated.

This role is especially suited for someone excited by the intersection of community, growth, operations, systems, and technology.

What You'll Work On

• Improving how Storytime sources, vets, onboards, and re-engages creators

• Managing and improving the CRM systems and workflows that support creator growth

• Identifying repetitive or manual processes that could be simplified or automated

• Supporting creator events, brand activations, outreach initiatives, and early-stage growth experiments

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and maintain Storytime’s internal CRM and creator management systems

• Support creator sourcing, outreach, onboarding, re-engagement, and ongoing community management

• Execute recurring operational and administrative workflows accurately and consistently

• Track creator activity, outreach, campaign participation, and other community growth metrics

• Communicate directly with creators and help build strong relationships within the Storytime community

• Test new workflows, tools, and systems designed to make creator growth more scalable and efficient

• Partner with the Storytime team on creator events, brand activations, growth initiatives, and operational projects

• Contribute ideas for improving internal systems, creator experience, and community growth

Ideal Candidate

You may be a current college student looking for hands-on experience across community, growth, operations, and technology.

You would be a strong fit if you:

• Are currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, Entrepreneurship, Information Systems, Operations, Technology, or a related field

• Are highly comfortable learning new software, platforms, and systems

• Have strong attention to detail and can execute structured or repetitive processes reliably

• Can learn how a process works, take ownership of it, and identify ways it could work better

• Are naturally curious about systems, workflows, automation, and how technology can make a business more efficient

• Are personable, confident, and genuinely enjoy communicating with people

• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Are organized and comfortable managing multiple workflows at once

• Can balance following an established process with thinking independently about how it could be improved

• Are interested in startups, technology, creator marketing, social media, or growth

• Are excited to work closely with a small team in our SoHo office at least three days per week

You do not need to be an engineer or have a technical background. We care more about your ability to learn systems quickly, think systematically, and approach problems with curiosity and ownership.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with CRM platforms

• Familiarity with spreadsheets, databases, automation tools, or no-code tools

• Previous internship or work experience at an early-stage startup

• Familiarity with influencer marketing, social platforms, or local commerce

What Success Looks Like

During your first several months, you will:

• Learn how creators, brands, and internal teams interact with Storytime’s platform and operational systems

• Take ownership of recurring creator growth and CRM workflows and execute them reliably

• Identify at least one meaningful opportunity to simplify, automate, or improve an existing process

• Help test and implement improvements to internal workflows or creator management systems

• Become equally comfortable communicating directly with creators and working behind the scenes inside Storytime’s CRM

• Use feedback, data, and firsthand experience with our systems to recommend improvements as the company grows

What We Offer

• The opportunity to help shape the future of local influencer marketing

• Meaningful ownership over products used by real businesses and creators

• Direct access to and mentorship from Storytime's founders and leadership team

• A collaborative, in-person environment in SoHo

• The opportunity to work with leading creators, restaurants and consumer brands

How to Apply

Please submit your résumé or LinkedIn profile, and a short response to: Tell us about a process, system, or workflow you thought could work better. What did you notice, how would you improve it, and why?. A traditional cover letter is not required.
