## About the Role
We are looking for a hungry, detail-oriented intern to own our outbound presence across freelance platforms like Upwork, Freelancer.com, and similar marketplaces. Your job is simple on paper but requires real hustle: find the right clients, send the right message, and get them on a call. You will be our front line for pipeline generation.
## What You Will Do
- Monitor and respond to relevant job postings on Upwork, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour, and others daily
- Write personalized, compelling proposals that cut through the noise and convert
- Manage and optimize agency profiles to improve visibility and credibility scores
- Track outreach activity, response rates, and conversion metrics in a CRM or tracker
- Collaborate with the internal team to align messaging with ongoing service offerings
- Identify patterns in winning proposals and help build a repeatable playbook
## Who You Are
- You write clearly, quickly, and without sounding like a template
- You are comfortable managing repetitive tasks with a system mindset
- You understand what a growth marketing agency does (or are eager to learn fast)
- Prior experience on Upwork, even as a freelancer, is a strong plus
- You track what is working and are not shy about iterating
- Available for at least 1 to 2 hours daily, with consistent timezone overlap
## What You Get
- Hands-on experience inside a live growth marketing agency
- Mentorship on outbound strategy, copywriting, and platform optimization
- Performance-based incentives for quality leads that convert
- A front-row seat to how a modern agency wins and retains clients
- Potential for a full-time role based on performance
## To Apply
Send us a short note about yourself and one example of a proposal or cold message you have written (or would write for us at [email protected]). We care more about your thinking than your resume.
