Internship Wave Energy Jobs (NOW HIRING)

WHO IS ENDLESS STUDIOS?

Endless Studios is a dual mission game studio. We build great games and integrate students into the work with our pros. We teach the next generation of digital creators the skills of game making that transfer seamlessly to endless types of digitally driven careers. Students learn hard skills like design, coding, writing, content creation, and marketing, as well as critical soft skills like teamwork, creativity, problem solving, and persistence. The careers of today and tomorrow all come together through game creation, and Endless Studios is the place for students to connect to their passions and sharpen their tools.

This fall, we’re launching the first Endless Creator Clubs on college campuses in the US. This is a brand new club with a unique mission and this summer we have a team of college interns working to shape and launch the first wave. You’ll pick up their work and make it a reality this fall and beyond. 

THE SHORT VERSION

This job is for the person who started the club, the non-profit, the startup… not the one who joined one. You know the type, because you might be the type. You ran the thing nobody asked you to run. You are happiest when the outcome is on you. A defined role with a manager checking your work would make you miserable inside a month.

The intern team has built the foundation, the brand, the website, the playbooks, the content, and the first cohort of campus leaders. The plan is about 70 percent done. You own the other 30, and you own the result. We hand you a real budget and get behind you to help to make this idea fly. 

What that means day-to-day: you work with the first set of clubs to nail product-market-fit. You guide them to success, execute with them, learn from them, and push us through to the next set of clubs. You show up in person, see what's working, fix what isn't, and grow from there. You build the machine that recruits next year's campuses. You're the one the founders call when a club hits its first hard week. It's a founder's job inside a funded company. Real budget, real responsibility, and a real opportunity to build a national, then international, platform that gets college students ready for the digital working world they’ll graduate into.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

A founder. Someone who runs the plan and adds to it, not someone who needs the work defined before they start. "Figure out the part that doesn't exist yet" should read as the best line in this posting, not the scariest.

You graduated within the past few years and have some professional experience, but still really connect with the undergrad market. We're hiring close to our club members on purpose. The person who can recruit a campus leader and read what a 20-year-old actually needs was a 20-year-old not long ago. We want drive and confidence, not a decade of someone else's process.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

• Be the day-to-day owner of Endless Creator Clubs. 
• Get on campuses. Be a real presence at each founding club this fall, in-person where it counts. Walk into a club's next meeting, see what's working, fix what isn't.
• Define and run the founders' summit (late fall) and the spring festival from a blank page. Format, content, venue, the whole thing. These are yours to invent and execute with us.
• Run the part-time team continuing from the summer intern group. They own their functions. You keep the whole thing in motion and pointed in the same direction.
• Recruit, sign, and support the founding pairs across roughly a dozen campuses. Keep the strong clubs strong, and make the honest calls about the ones that aren't working.
• Build the recruitment engine for the fall 2027 wave, so the second cohort is easier to land than the first.
• Define the budget and org structure you’ll need to keep pace with the growth you’ll create with your Club founders.
• Be the founding voice of Endless Creator Clubs to the outside world. Calls with universities, founders, partners, media, anyone.

WHO YOU ARE

• College grad with some professional experience that proves your ability to lead and manage complexity.
• You've built games and been involved in games jams.
• You've run something real before. A startup, a student org with budget, a club movement, a serious project where the outcome was on you. Bonus if you've built a club or chapter from nothing.
• High energy, and it has to be real. A new club runs on whether the person behind it believes in it and that has to start with you.
• Organized to the core. You're tracking a dozen campuses, two events, a part-time team, and a budget at once. If things fall through cracks around you, this is the wrong job.
• A clear writer and a clear talker. You’re constantly communicating up and down. You can brief a designer, pitch a skeptical student leader on why this is worth their semester, and engage with your Endless colleagues around the world to get their ideas and support.
• You care about games, education, or both. At least one has to genuinely light you up.
• Self-sufficient. You'll work closely with your manager and the Endless founder, but most days you're deciding and moving on your own.

WHY THIS JOB

Most early career jobs hand you a narrow slot, a manager who checks your work, and a few years of waiting your turn. You can take that path. A lot of sharp people do, and a lot of them spend year one bored.

This is the other path. It hands you the beginnings of a national program and asks you to make it real. A year from now you'll have launched a cohort of clubs, run two events, built a team, and shaped something thousands of students will pass through. You'll have worked directly with a founder and integrated into a passionate, global team across Endless. 

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

• Job Type: Full-time
• Location: New York City with significant travel to founding campuses 
• Start Date: ASAP, ideally overlapping the summer intern team before they wrap in August
• Compensation: Competitive

TO APPLY

No cover letter. Show us how you think.

1. A one-page brief on something you built or ran from scratch. What worked, what you'd do differently, and what you owned that nobody told you to.
2. Your honest answer to: It's October. One of your first round clubs has lost momentum, attendance is dropping, and the founders are discouraged. You have a week and a plane ticket. What do you do?
