Paid Internships in Marketing and in Executive Assistance at iversity

Applicants are admitted from January 2012.
Flexible starting date, working hours and duration of internship.

Internship: Marketing and Online Marketing

You are not just creative and communicative, but you are also able to get a deep sense of satisfaction from looking at never-ending spreadsheets? You would like to be involved in rolling out a revolutionary and fun product in Europe and beyond? Ideally you have press contacts and first organizational and research experience, yet you are willing to put up with some grunt work as well (at this point we all are). If so, join us in Berlin and learn all about marketing in the 21^st century!

Internship: Executive Assistant

You have an open mind and ideally have been interested in the education sector as well as the dynamic development of digital technology for a while? You don't just know about Twitter and TED, but Quora and the Chronicle also ring a bell? You are well-connected and you know how to communicate with executives in the private as well as the non-profit sector? You would like to know how this works: 'building a company' from the strategic to the nitty-gritty? In that case, we are looking forward to hearing from you.

About iversity:

What we do...

iversity is a cross-over of a course management system and a social network (www.iversity.org) that facilitates communication in research and teaching. As of now, 28,000 users from around 200 higher education institutions are using iversity to organize courses or research projects.

So far course management systems have been closed, insular solutions. iversity’s mission is to connect people and content across institutional boundaries as well as to bring the open web onto its platform by integrating existing services over APIs. To put it a little more passionately: we want to revolutionize academic collaboration!

Having successfully completed the latest round of financing (1.1 Million Euro), iversity is currently working hard to prepare the upcoming semester.

Who we are...

We are a young and dynamic team that is working on a project with a purpose. We want to build a new infrastructure for teaching and learning at the dawn of the digital age.

Our team members have held positions with online and offline media, in marketing and communications departments, software development, strategy consulting, and academia in Germany and the US. iversity staff were educated at professional schools and research universities including Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, Hertie School of Governance, National University of Singapore, Columbia University, Cambridge and Oxford.

We are offering...

• an exciting and ambitious project.
• room for ideas and creativity.
• a young and highly motivated team.
• a payment (covering your living costs)
• a environment that is results-, not formality-oriented.
• interest in your abilities, not so much your credentials.

• possibly the option to stay on after the internship as a freelancer or an employee

Please send your questions & application to Simon Lange (jobs@iversity.org).

We look forward to hearing from you!
