Dynamo Intern Needed for OC Startup in Shhhh...

Fri, 03 May 2013 10:46:56 GMT

Looking for an ambitious Spring Intern for our exciting new startup. We are still in a stealth-like mode but are planning a big launch very soon. This person must have an entrepreneurial spirit, a can-do attitude and a love of parent- and kid-related products and services.

This is an ideal opportunity for a stay at home parent who wants to get more involved with the parenting community in the OC or for a college student who wants to get some startup experience. We require that this person live in Orange County; however, we don't mind if they work from home as long as they can be in the office occasionally and can help out with some off-site events.

This is a part-time position. We are looking for someone who can commit to around 10 hours/week.
