We are looking for some interns to help us out. You in?

The summer’s here, we are soon moving into a bigger office, and we are looking for some company!

So if you are a student and want some experience working shoulder to shoulder with us, deep the trenches of a pretty exciting start-up, then contact us!

At the moment, we are looking for three interns to help us out.

1. Marketing and business development intern

We are looking for someone to help us expand our online buzz as well as implementing a range of business development activities.  Ideally, you are someone that is well versed in the online sphere, including the use of blogs, Twitter, and other relevant social media tools.

On a daily basis, you will be working closely with our site manager to tackle the following tasks:

•    Coordinate our media marketing activities, including managing our presence on Twitter, blog and Facebook
•    Develop and maintain relationships with our users, which include key bloggers and online influencers
•    Manage business development projects with potential clients
•    Support business development activities through research and analysis

2. Website and product intern

We are looking for someone to help us track and maintain our various performance metrics and improve our product development processes.  This is ideal if you are someone who is interested in the agile project development methodology and want a closer look at how the process is implemented for a evolving Internet product.

On a daily basis, you will be working closely with our site manager to tackle the following tasks:

•    Supporting our usability and product quality processes by tracking:
o    Various site analytical data
o    Site optimization data
o    SEO tools
•    Hands-on work with our proprietary algorithmic PeerIndex system:
o    Product work for clients and partners
o    Liaison with clients, including maintenance, trouble shooting, communication and presentation of results to clients

3. Data analyst

We are looking for a data analyst to help us identify key trends, patterns, segments and clusters, product enhancement and revenue opportunities in the online influencer market.

We are looking for someone with the following skills:

•    Computer science or similar strongly numerical degree
•    Fluency with major stats packages like R or SPSS
•    Skills around large scale analytic
•    Plus points if you have played around with large scale regression models (like K-means, SVMs)
•    Double plus points if you are familiar with Amazon Elastic Map/Reduce

Now, logistics.

Ideally, you are based in London, which is where most of us are.  But if the fit is super duper, then we can arrange for you to work remotely and still get as much out of the experience as possible.  The idea is for you to start immediately, especially since there’s a lot of stuff going on with us in June.

We are happy to help you get credits for the length of your internship, and we can dish out a small stipend which might pay for your lunch from time to time.  But really, the idea is to get involved, meet some cool people (other than us) in the start-up community, and work with a super dynamic Internet business going through a pretty exciting growth phase.
