Growth Intern

The Opportunity Ticket Tree is building the event operating system — starting with ticketing as the identity layer that powers every downstream revenue stream: in‑venue spend, sponsorships, merchandise, and media. We're live with paying customers and expanding into new markets. This role sits at the center of that growth. What This Role Actually Is You’ll work directly with the founders on two fronts: opening commercial opportunities with event hosts, venues, and sports organizations — and tracking the analytics behind what’s driving traffic, conversions, and engagement across our landing pages and social channels. You’ll help us understand what’s working and where to double down. You won’t be starting from scratch. We have outreach templates, sales packages, pitch materials, and campaign outlines ready to go. Your job is to execute, iterate, and own outcomes — not build the playbook from zero. No Two Weeks Look the Same This role covers real ground. One week you’re building a target list and booking discovery calls. The next you’re pulling traffic reports, spotting what a LinkedIn campaign moved, and presenting findings to the team. You’ll touch outbound sales, data analysis, campaign tracking, and partner conversations — sometimes in the same week. If you want a role where you sit in one lane and do one thing, this isn’t it. If you want to learn how an early‑stage startup actually grows, this is exactly it. Responsibilities Build and qualify pipeline in combat sports, minor league teams, and independent venues Run outbound email and LinkedIn sequences targeting GMs, ticketing directors, and promoters Book discovery calls and support demos alongside the founding team Track deal progress and help manage the sales CRM Identify events and venues still on Eventbrite, Etix, or paper systems Build target lists across USL, MiLB, NCAA D2/D3, and combat sports Monitor the competitive ticketing landscape and flag relevant moves Growth Analytics & Reporting Track weekly traffic across landing pages, broken down by social sourceMonitor which campaigns, posts, and channels are driving the most qualified visitsBuild simple weekly reports that connect social activity to landing page performanceFlag trends, drops, or spikes and bring hypotheses to the teamHelp inform content and campaign decisions with dataDraft outbound email sequences and LinkedIn contentHelp build case study and one‑pager materials from live event dataAssist with post‑event recaps and sponsor‑facing reports What We Bring to the Table Outreach templates and email sequences ready to deploySales packages and one‑pagers for each target marketPitch materials and objection handling guides tested in real conversationsCampaign frameworks and social content outlines for analytics trackingA defined target list of 200+ organizations across combat sports, USL, MiLB, and NCAA You bring the relationships, the hustle, and the follow‑through. We handle the rest. Compensation & Growth Path This role starts part‑time with a base rate plus commission on deals you help close. It is designed to grow. As you build pipeline, close partners, and prove out the analytics function, the expectation is a transition into a full‑time role with expanded ownership and compensation. We’re not hiring for a semester — we’re hiring for what comes next. Must‑Haves Genuine interest in live events, sports, or the fan economy Comfortable with outbound sales — email, calls, LinkedIn Comfortable pulling and interpreting data from tools like Google Analytics, LookerStudio, or similar Strong written communication; you draft clean, concise copy Organized and self‑directed — you track what you say you’ll do Comfortable operating in a fast‑moving environment where priorities shift Nice‑to‑Haves Existing network in sports, venues, or live entertainment Experience building simple dashboards or weekly reporting templates Familiarity with social analytics (Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok insights) Background in competitive athletics or high‑performance environments Familiarity with combat sports, minor league teams, or NCAA athletics What This Role Is Not Not a passive or observational internship — you are expected to drive outcomes, not complete tasks Not a traditional part‑time role with a defined end date — the goal is full‑time for the right person Not a large‑company support role — you will interact with founders, not middle managers How to Apply To apply, shoot me a DM or send an email View email address on click.appcast.io with your resume and a short note covering: (1) why you want to work at an early‑stage startup, and (2) one organization you’d target first and how you’d approach them.
