Influencer Activation Internship

About the internship

We're VibeSquad. Come build with us.

VibeSquad is a shopping platform built for tastemakers the people who spot what's cool before everyone else does. Tastemakers on VibeSquad help their social followers discover products that are genuinely trending, backed by real people rather than ads.

Users can explore trending products, see who is backing them, read authentic feedback, understand products better, and make informed purchase decisions. No more buying blindly based on a single reel. When you back a product and share it with your community, you earn cashback.

The more your taste is appreciated and your influence grows, the more your rewards grow with it. Tastemakers, or rising influencers, are the authentic pull factor behind VibeSquad. We're building the platform that gives them the recognition and rewards they deserve.

On the brand side, if it's trending on Instagram, it should be on VibeSquad.

You'll work with founders who have invested in billion-dollar companies, scaled fan-engagement platforms used by 17 of Europe's top soccer teams, and influenced India's national innovation policy.

We move fast, think big, and ship even bigger. If your 9-to-5 or college timetable is putting you to sleep, you might want to read further.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Most people hear about an influencer once everyone else already has. This role is about discovering people who have great taste and genuinely engaged audiences before they've been widely discovered and helping them see how VibeSquad can turn their following into something that pays them back.

Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilities include:

1. Create engaging content to attract rising influencers across Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, and other relevant platforms before they become widely recognized.
2. Identify and reach out to potential tastemakers through DMs, WhatsApp, email, and relevant events to initiate meaningful conversations.
3. Build genuine relationships with influencers that go beyond a single interaction or transactional outreach.
4. Own the complete influencer onboarding journey, from the initial content and outreach to onboarding and the first collaboration.
5. Track influencer acquisition and activation metrics, identify what is working and where prospects are dropping off, and implement improvements.
6. Monitor activation and drop-off rates and follow up with potential tastemakers where required.
7. Contribute ideas to improve influencer acquisition, onboarding, and engagement strategies.

About company

Every friend group has that one person. The one who finds the cafe before it's cool. Who says 'try this' and people just... do. Whose taste isn't loud, but it's trusted, and that's, in our opinion, real influence! The internet just never built anything that actually recognised it.

That's what we're building. VibeSquad is a social shopping platform for people exactly like that: creators, tastemakers, the ones whose recommendations move people. When you buy something you genuinely love on VibeSquad, your influence gets you better pricing on it. When you recommend it and someone buys through you, you earn real cashback- not points, not perks, actual money. Your taste, finally working for you instead of the other way around.

• What You'll Walk Away With

You'll build your own network within India's Gen Z influencer economy rather than inheriting an existing one. You'll gain real experience in creating content that drives inbound interest, conducting cold outreach, building relationships, and working with creators who have genuine audience reach.

Why It's Different Here

From your first week, you'll interact with founders, influencers, and real brands. This isn't a coordination role hidden behind a fancy title—it's a people-focused role with real responsibilities, measurable outcomes, and direct business impact.

We're hiring at three levels. Your level will be determined based on your experience and our conversation.

1. Ambassador – Research or Outreach Support | Part-time | ₹5,333/month
