Job Description

Founder's Office Intern — Go-to-Market & Event Marketing

Hightable | thehightable.world

About Hightable

Hightable is a global, invite-only collective built for startup founders — connecting them with the money, mentors, and market access needed to scale. We operate at the intersection of community, capital, and go-to-market strategy: working directly with seasoned founders, CXOs, and investors across a global network. Hightable shows up at major industry stages (like Step Dubai Conference) and runs its own member-only events, mixers, and discovery calls to build a tight-knit, high-signal founder ecosystem.

About the Role

This is a high-ownership internship working directly in the founder's office — not a rotational or shadow role. You'll be embedded in how Hightable builds its own go-to-market motion and how it shows up in the real world through events. Expect a mix of strategic thinking (positioning, messaging, campaign planning) and hands-on execution (running event logistics, drafting content, managing vendor relationships). You'll see how decisions get made at the founder level and be trusted to execute on them independently.

What You'll Do

Go-to-Market

Support development of Hightable's GTM strategy — refining how we position ourselves to founders, investors, and partners
Conduct research on the startup/VC ecosystem, competitor community platforms, and member acquisition channels
Draft and help launch campaigns aimed at growing membership, partnerships, and event attendance
Write and edit content: social posts (Instagram, X, LinkedIn), email campaigns, one-pagers, partner decks
Help maintain and improve messaging consistency across the website, socials, and outbound materials

Event Marketing & Execution

Plan and execute Hightable-hosted events end-to-end — mixers, member meetups, discovery-call series — covering venue selection, budgeting, vendor coordination, and run-of-show
Support Hightable's presence at external conferences and startup stages (e.g., Step Dubai) — logistics, booth/branding coordination, attendee engagement
Manage event platforms (e.g., Luma) — RSVPs, invites, reminders, and post-event communications
Coordinate with partners, mentors, and member founders for co-hosted or sponsored events
Handle on-the-ground event operations and be the go-to person during live events

Community & Reporting

Support membership growth — helping process inbound applications, track pipeline, and assist onboarding
Track and report on GTM and event metrics: attendance, engagement rates, campaign performance, funnel conversion, event ROI
Maintain internal trackers/dashboards (Notion, Sheets, etc.) so the founder has real-time visibility
Take on ad hoc strategic or operational projects directly from the founder as priorities shift

Who You Are

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree (Business, Marketing, Communications, or related — aptitude matters more than major)
Excellent written and verbal communicator, comfortable drafting content and representing the brand in person at events
Highly organized with strong project management instincts — can juggle events, content, and outreach simultaneously without dropping details
Thrives in ambiguity and startup pace; comfortable making decisions with incomplete information
Genuinely curious about the startup/VC ecosystem — not just marketing broadly, but GTM strategy and community-building specifically
Comfortable with basic data work: reading a funnel, calculating event ROI, building a simple tracker
Available for occasional evening/weekend hours around live events

Nice to Have

Prior internship or project experience in marketing, events, startups, or VC
Familiarity with tools like Luma, Notion, Canva, HubSpot, or similar
Existing interest or informal network within the startup/founder community
A portfolio of past campaigns, events, or content you've led or contributed to

What You'll Get

Direct mentorship from the founder(s) — not a big-company internship buried in a marketing team
Real ownership: you'll run events and campaigns, not just support them
Front-row access to the startup/VC ecosystem — founders, investors, mentors, and operators
A fast-moving, high-trust environment where your work visibly shapes the brand
