About the role

Now Hiring: Unpaid Internship for School Credit

Electro makes functional electrolyte gum designed for athletes who need performance, focus, and recovery without added sugar. Our network includes a large base of college athlete ambassadors and partnerships with NBA and NFL players.

This is an unpaid, remote internship in sales and business development. You will learn a real outbound sales process by applying it to NIL, reaching out to college athletes and turning conversations into signed athlete partnerships.

School credit is available. If your university offers internship credit, we will sign the forms, complete supervisor evaluations, and verify your hours so this internship counts toward your degree.
