About the role

3-Month Accelerated Business Education Program (Unpaid Internship)

3 Positions Available - One Per Building Location

This Isn't Your Typical Internship

We're not looking for someone who wants to fetch coffee and make copies. We're searching for  3 exceptional individuals who understand that the fastest way to business mastery is learning how successful operations actually work—from the ground up.

What You'll Actually Do

Throughout All 3 Months: Foundation & Integration

  • Become the strategic right-hand to our Community Managers
  • Master member services and facility operations
  • Lead prospect tours and member acquisition efforts
  • Handle real business challenges that directly impact our bottom line
  • Learn the systems that make our operations run smoothly

Progressive Responsibility Growth:

  • Month 1:  Focus on learning systems while contributing immediately
  • Month 2:  Handle more complex operational tasks independently
  • Month 3:  Take ownership of specific building operations and member experience initiatives

Why This Opportunity Is Different

You'll Get Overwhelmed (And Love It)

We believe the best learning happens when you're challenged beyond your comfort zone. If you're energized by variety, complexity, and rapid learning, this environment will accelerate your growth exponentially.

Direct Access to High-Performance Mentors

Work alongside Community Managers who've built their expertise through real-world business operations. This isn't theoretical—it's hands-on education from people actively scaling a successful business.

Strategic Business Education

Understand how revenue flows work, operational systems integrate, team dynamics optimize performance, and customer experience drives growth. You'll see how every "small" task connects to big-picture business success.

Who We're Looking For

The Performance Optimizer

  • You view intense learning periods as energizing, not draining
  • You're excited about understanding business operations comprehensively
  • You think strategically about how foundational work builds expertise
  • You want to grow others while growing yourself

The Natural Leader

  • You have mentoring instincts and enjoy developing people
  • You're comfortable taking ownership of real business outcomes
  • You ask thoughtful questions about company growth and team development
  • You see systems and long-term optimization opportunities

The Strategic Thinker

  • You understand that mastering basics is how you build real expertise
  • You're more excited about learning how businesses operate than getting promoted quickly
  • You view this as comprehensive business education, not just "getting experience"
  • You're energized by variety and cross-functional learning

What You'll Gain

Immediate Value:

  • Real-world business operations expertise
  • Direct mentorship from successful business leaders
  • Comprehensive understanding of how profitable businesses actually work
  • Experience managing real projects with measurable outcomes

Long-Term Investment:

  • Strong potential for full-time hiring  based on performance
  • Reference letters from leaders who've seen your work quality firsthand
  • Network within a growing, profitable business
  • Skill set that makes you valuable to any future business opportunity

Compensation & Growth Path

While this is an unpaid position, we're investing significant mentorship time and real business education in you.  High performers will be strongly considered for our paid positions  upon completion.

Application Process

We're looking for people who get genuinely excited about this opportunity, not those who see it as something to endure.

To Apply please send an email to anastasiia@gotradespace.com:

  1. Tell us about a time you took on work that seemed basic but taught you something valuable
  2. Describe how you handle being challenged and overwhelmed
