Unstuck Engine

We just opened 5 FREE seats for a Strategic Partnerships Intern.

*FREE = costs you nothing, pays you in skills, tools, portfolio – and commission.

Most people don't even know strategic partnerships is a career.

They graduate. They look at "sales" or "marketing" or "consulting." 

Because that's what they know exists.

Nobody tells them about partnerships.

The work where every deal is different. Where creativity beats scripts. 

Where you build long-term relationships, not transactional wins.

The work AI won't take.

Here's why partnerships matter in 2025:

AI is coming for transactional sales. Cold outreach? Automated. 

Product demos? AI can do it. Closing standard deals? Give it 3 years.

But partnerships? Too creative. Too multi-format. Too human.

Every partnership is unique. Different stakeholders. Different value exchange. Different implementation. There's no playbook you can hand to AI and say "do this 1,000 times."

Which means: while everyone else worries about AI taking their job, you'll have a skill it can't replace.

So we asked ourselves:

What if we trained people in a profession most don't even know exists?

Not sales. Not marketing. Not "a little bit of both."

But strategic partnerships. The real kind.

We run 9 types of partnerships:

Events – Joint events, co-hosting, speaker exchanges

Integrations – Technical integrations with complementary products

Educators – Training providers, course creators, educational institutions

Co-Sell – Selling together with partners to shared customers

Communities – Community partnerships, access to engaged audiences

Advisors – Strategic advisors who open doors and provide guidance

Affiliates – Performance-based referral partnerships

Influencers – Industry voices who amplify our message

Marketplaces – Listing and distribution partnerships

Link Building – SEO partnerships for mutual backlink value

Each one is a different game. Different partners. Different value propositions. Different implementation strategies.

You won't master all 9 in 6 months. But you'll learn the system. You'll own 2-3 types deeply. You'll understand how partnership thinking works across all of them.

And you'll take them from first contact all the way to implementation.

The full cycle.

→ Weeks 1-2: You're learning all 9 partnership types, understanding how each works, getting onboarded

→ Weeks 3-4: Trial period – you're testing 1-2 partnership types with real partners, we're both deciding if this fits

→ Months 2-6: You're owning multiple partnership types, taking them from first contact to implementation, building systems that work

What you'll actually do:

Prioritize potential partnerships based on strategic value (not every company should be a partner)

Build relationships and establish genuine connection with people (partnerships are human-first)

Find the mutual value and the right partnership format (what works for both sides)

Document partnerships and moderate the process across stakeholders to implementation (coordinate, don't micromanage)

Who Should Apply:

Recent graduates in Communications, Marketing, or Business. This works best with deep immersion - the more hours you put in, the faster you'll learn and ship. Some interns do 15-20 hours/week, others go full-time (40 hours/week). Full-time means you build more, learn faster, and see stronger results in 6 months.

Fair warning:

This isn't for everyone.

If you're not willing to spend 2 weeks learning before you start contributing → This requires deep understanding of each partnership type first

If you want a predictable playbook → Every partnership is different, there's no script

If you like quick transactional wins → Partnerships are long-term, complex, relationship-based

If you can't juggle multiple contexts → You'll be working across different partnership types simultaneously

But if you recently graduated, want to learn a career path most don't know exists, get excited by creative problem-solving where every partnership is a unique puzzle, enjoy building relationships not just closing deals, and want work that's too creative and human for AI to replace – we should talk.

Because here's what we believe:

0% of valuable partnerships come from scripts.

0% of great partnership professionals learned by doing just one piece of the cycle.

100% of strategic partnership skills come from taking deals from research to results.

What happens after 6 months?

You complete the internship program and join our alumni network.

Top performers get considered for our Partnership Manager position (paid, equity, real role).

Either way, you leave with:

• Experience in strategic partnerships (a career most people don't discover until years into sales)
• A working system across 9 partnership types (breadth few professionals ever get)
• A portfolio of partnerships you built from scratch
• Skills AI won't replace

The best partnerships don't feel like deals, they feel like collaboration.

Ready to learn a career you didn't know existed?

Apply: Record a 1-minute video (phone quality is fine) explaining:

• What excites you about strategic partnerships? (even if you just learned this career exists)
• Pick one of our 9 partnership types and explain why that model makes sense

• Why you, why now, why this internship?

   

Send your video with the application

(And if this feels too complex or ambiguous for you? That's okay. Better we both know now.)

P.S. — Still reading? Good. Go explore our 9 partnership types. Pick one. Understand why it works. Then record that video. We want people who can think strategically about partnerships, not just follow a sales playbook.

We just opened 2 seats for Lead Gen Trainees.

Free = costs you nothing, pays you in skills, tools, and portfolio – not cash.

If you're still in school, stop reading. We need recent graduates, not current students. This role requires professional maturity to represent us to real prospects and gather requirements from stakeholders.

Still here? Good.

Most lead gen training teaches you to blast 10,000 emails and pray for replies.

Ours teaches you to find the right 50 accounts and actually get meetings.

Here's what's broken about lead gen:

Companies buy massive contact databases. Sales teams send thousands of generic messages. Buyers ignore them. SDRs burn out. Budgets vanish.

Everyone's doing "more volume" when the answer is "better targeting."

So we asked ourselves:

What if we trained lead gen professionals who understand that precision beats spray-and-pray?

Not more emails. Not more automation. Not more "touches."

But research. Targeting. Relevance.

The kind of person who gets excited reading a company's blog to understand what keeps their CEO up at night. Who sees LinkedIn as detective work, not a database. Who can write a message that sounds like human-to-human, not spam-bot-to-inbox.

The Timeline:

→ Weeks 1-2: You're learning our systems, understanding our ICP, getting onboarded

→ Weeks 3-4: Trial period – you're experimenting with real campaigns, we're both deciding if this fits

→ Months 2-6: You're owning campaigns, optimizing based on data, building systems that work

The structure is simple:

Targeting (40%): Build account lists using our precision targeting platform. Research decision makers deeply. Find the accounts that actually matter.

Experimentation (30%): Test outreach across LinkedIn and email. Try different hooks. Learn what gets responses vs what gets ignored.

Optimization (30%): Track what works. Kill what doesn't. Double down on winners. Turn insights into repeatable processes.

What you'll actually do:

• Build targeted account lists (using real intent data, not spray-and-pray databases)
• Research decision makers (LinkedIn, company sites, understanding their actual business challenges – this is detective work, not data entry)
• Write personalized outreach (we use Claude AI as your research assistant, but you're the strategist crafting the message)
• Run multi-channel campaigns (LinkedIn + email, learn what works where)
• Book qualified meetings (meetings people actually show up to)
• Track everything (acceptance rates, reply rates, show rates – optimize relentlessly)
• Document what works (so others can learn from your wins)
•  

Fair warning:

This isn't for everyone.

• If you're still a student → We need recent graduates with professional maturity
• If you need income now → This is unpaid (skills and portfolio, not salary)
• If you want traditional sales training → We don't do scripts, quotas, or "smile and dial"
• If you think "more emails = more success" → You'll hate our approach
• If AI scares you or you think it'll replace you → We use Claude daily, it's a tool not a threat
• If you need daily hand-holding → We give structure and tools, but you own your work
• If you want a predictable 6-month plan → Startups don't work that way, experiments fail, things change
•  

But if you're the type who:

• Just graduated and wants to learn modern B2B lead gen (not outdated spray-and-pray tactics)
• Gets genuinely curious about companies (you actually enjoy reading their blogs, understanding their business model, figuring out their challenges)
• Can write like a human (not a copywriter, just someone who sounds real in a message)
• Believes quality beats quantity (50 perfect accounts > 10,000 random emails)
• Wants to learn AI tools the right way (as leverage, not replacement)

• Likes autonomy and hates wasted effort (you'd rather spend 2 hours finding the right person than 2 minutes blasting 1,000 wrong ones)

   

Then we should talk.

Because here's what we believe:

• 0% of great companies scale with spray-and-pray.
• 0% of great meetings come from generic outreach.
• 100% of effective lead gen is about relevance, not volume.

What happens after 6 months?

You complete the internship program and join our alumni network.

Top performers get considered for our Outbound Marketer position (paid, equity, real role).

Either way, you leave with a portfolio, skills that 99% of salespeople don't have, and a network that matters.

The same precision that drives our product drives how we hire.

No generic recruiting.

No "thanks for applying" auto-rejects.

Just 1 seat for someone who actually did their research.

Ready to learn lead gen that actually works?

Apply: Record a 1-minute video (phone quality is fine) explaining:

1. Why lead gen at a B2B startup?
2. One company you'd target for us and why

3. One message you'd send to their decision maker

    

P.S. — Still reading? Good. That means you do your research. Now go explore Unstuck Engine,  read our Growth Book, and record that video. We want people who understand that precision starts with how you apply, not just how you work.

We just opened 1 FREE seat for a UI Design Junior Specialist.

Free = costs you nothing, pays you in skills, tools, and portfolio.

Most design internships = make mockups in Figma, hand off to developers, never see it live.

You'll design AND build. Figma → Webflow → production. Full cycle.

Here's what's broken about design work in 2025:

Designers make beautiful mockups. They hand them to developers. Weeks later, maybe it ships. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it looks nothing like the design.

Meanwhile, the best designers? They ship. They own the full cycle. Design to production. No hand-offs. No "lost in translation."

And they build portfolio pieces they can actually share on Dribbble. Real work. Live pages. Not just mockups.

So we asked ourselves:

What if we hired a designer who can do both? Design in Figma AND build in Webflow. Ship production-grade landing pages and interactive experiences that actually go live?

What you'll actually do:

Design landing pages (in Figma – for product launches, campaigns, features, whatever we need)

Build them in Webflow (turn your designs into real, responsive, production-ready pages)

Create interactive experiences (animations, interactions, micro-interactions – not just static pages)

Work with cross-functional teams (gather content from writers, understand marketing goals, integrate video, use data insights to improve conversions)

Optimize for conversion (balance aesthetics with what actually works – pretty doesn't always convert)

Ship to production (your designs go live, real users see them, you own the result)

Iterate based on data (see what performs, what doesn't, improve based on real metrics)

Build portfolio-worthy work (every page you ship = portfolio piece you can share on Dribbble, Behance, wherever)

Learn continuously (you'll start with 2 weeks of deep dive into our brand, audience, and goals, but real expertise comes from 6 months of shipping)

→ Weeks 1-2: Deep dive into Unstuck Engine brand, design system, and audience – understand our visual identity, see what's working, learn our goals. This is your foundation.

→ Weeks 3-4: Trial period – you're designing and building your first landing page, working with other teams, we're both deciding if this fits

→ Months 2-6: You're owning UI design and production – designing pages, building in Webflow, shipping to production, iterating based on performance

What makes this different:

Most design roles = design OR code. Not both.

This = design AND build. Full ownership from concept to live page.

You'll ship real work. Not mockups in a folder. Real pages. Live. With your name on them.

Who Should Apply:

Recent graduates in Graphic Design, UI/UX, Visual Design, or Interaction Design. This works best with deep immersion - the more hours you put in, the faster you'll learn and ship. Some interns do 15-20 hours/week, others go full-time (40 hours/week). Full-time means you build more, learn faster, and see stronger results in 6 months.

You must have Webflow and Figma experience. Show us your portfolio – we want to see what you've shipped, not just what you've designed.

Fair warning:

This isn't for everyone.

If you don't know Webflow and Figma → We need someone who can hit the ground running, not learn from scratch

If you only want to design (not build) → You'll do both – design in Figma AND build in Webflow

If you want weeks to perfect one page → We ship fast, iterate based on data, startup pace not agency perfectionism

If you can't take feedback from non-designers → You'll work with marketing, content, product teams who have input

If you prioritize aesthetics over conversion → We need pages that convert, not just look pretty (though ideally both)

But if you want to design AND ship (not just hand off mockups), build production-grade portfolio pieces (real pages on Dribbble, not just concepts), work fast and iterate (ship, measure, improve), collaborate with cross-functional teams (marketing, content, product, video), and own the full cycle from Figma to live page – we should talk.

Because here's what we believe:

0% of great design portfolios are just mockups.

0% of effective landing pages ignore conversion data.

100% of designers who ship own the full cycle from design to production.

What happens after 6 months?

You complete the internship program and join our alumni network.

Top performers get considered for our UI Designer position (paid, equity, real role).

Either way, you leave with:

• Portfolio of production landing pages (live work you designed and built)
• Experience owning full cycle (Figma → Webflow → production)
• Understanding of conversion-focused design (not just aesthetics)
• Cross-functional collaboration skills (working with marketing, content, product teams)
• Webflow and Figma mastery at production level

The best designers ship. Not just design.

Ready to build a portfolio of work that's actually live?

Apply: Record a 1-minute video (phone quality is fine) explaining:

• What excites you about designing AND building (not just handing off)?
• Share your portfolio – show us 1-2 pieces you're most proud of (especially if they're live)

• Why you, why now, why this internship?

   

P.S. — Still reading? Good. Go look at your portfolio. What would you add if you spent 6 months shipping real landing pages for a B2B startup? Then record that video. We want designers who care about shipping, not just pixels.

We just opened 1 seat for a B2B Content Marketing Trainee.

Free = costs you nothing, pays you in skills, tools, portfolio – and commission.

Most B2B content is boring AF.

Generic LinkedIn posts. Fluffy blog posts with no substance. Everyone sounds the same.

You'll learn to create content that people actually want to read.

Here's what's broken about B2B content in 2025:

Companies hire writers to "make content." They publish blog posts nobody reads. They post on LinkedIn and get 3 likes. They wonder why content doesn't drive pipeline.

Meanwhile, the best B2B content? It teaches something real. It's useful. It's different across formats. And it actually drives signups and trials.

But nobody teaches you how to build that.

Not just "write blog posts." Not just "post on social." Not just "use AI to generate content."

But content systems. Strategy to execution. Cross-team collaboration.

So we asked ourselves:

What if we trained content marketers who understand that great content isn't just about writing – it's about building systems that work across the entire company?

We create content across 6 formats:

Blog – Long-form educational content that teaches GTM concepts and demonstrates expertise

Substack – Newsletter content for subscribers who want deeper insights

LinkedIn Posts – Thought leadership and conversation starters where our audience lives

X/Twitter – Sharp, concise takes that cut through the noise

Email Nurture – Sequences that educate prospects and move them through the funnel

Dealroom – Sales enablement content like battle cards, case studies, competitive positioning

Each format is different. Different length. Different tone. Different purpose.

You'll learn all 6. You'll own 2-3 deeply. And you'll see exactly which content drives signups, trials, and purchases.

But here's what makes this different:

You won't just write for external audiences. You'll be the content engine for the entire company.

Growth Marketing team needs content to share in earned media? You create it.

Partnerships team needs case studies for potential partners? You create it.

Product team just shipped a new feature? You explain it.

Experiments team got interesting results? You turn data into stories.

You'll work cross-functionally, gather insights from different teams, and turn them into content that works both internally and externally.

→ Weeks 1-2: Deep dive into Unstuck Engine, our audience, and our content strategy – learn the product, read all existing content, understand what resonates and why. This is your foundation.

→ Weeks 3-4: Trial period – you're creating your first content across 1-2 formats, working with other teams, learning what works, we're both deciding if this fits

→ Months 2-6: You're building content systems – owning editorial calendar, managing cross-team requests, coordinating content from strategy to publication, optimizing based on performance data

What you'll actually do:

Build content strategy (what content for which audience at which stage of their journey)

Create content plans (turn strategy into concrete topics, formats, and publishing schedule)

Manage editorial calendar (from plan to published, with deadlines and distribution across channels)

Work with cross-functional teams (gather insights from experiments, data, partnerships, product – turn them into content that works)

Create content for internal needs (Growth team needs something to share? Partnerships needs case study? You own the content creation process)

Write across 6 formats (adapt your voice and style for each – blog ≠ Twitter ≠ battle card)

Use AI as your research assistant (we use Claude for research and drafting, but you're the editor and strategist)

Track attribution (you'll have your own set of short links to see signups → trials → purchases from your content)

Optimize based on data (which topics perform? Which formats convert? Double down on winners.)

Interview customers and team members (gather real stories, real insights, not generic advice)

Learn continuously (you'll start with 2 weeks of deep dive, but real expertise comes from 6 months of creating and iterating)

Who Should Apply:

Recent graduates in Journalism, English, Communications, or Marketing. This works best with deep immersion - the more hours you put in, the faster you'll learn and ship. Some interns do 15-20 hours/week, others go full-time (40 hours/week). Full-time means you build more, learn faster, and see stronger results in 6 months.

Fair warning:

This isn't for everyone.

If you're not willing to spend 2 weeks learning before you start creating → This requires deep product and audience knowledge first

If you just want to "write whatever you want" → This is B2B, there's strategy behind every piece

If you think "AI writes, you publish" → AI assists with research and drafting, but you craft the message

If you want to "post and forget" → We track performance and optimize based on data

If you only want to write one format → You'll need to adapt across 6 different formats with different tones

If you prefer working alone → You'll be gathering information from different teams constantly

But if you want to learn how to build content systems (not just write posts), create B2B content that's actually useful (not generic fluff), work cross-functionally in a startup environment, use AI as leverage (Claude helps, you strategize), see exact impact of your work (attribution on signups and trials), and build skills that matter when everyone else is using the same AI tools – we should talk.

Because here's what we believe:

0% of valuable B2B content is generic.

0% of great content marketers just "write and hope."

100% of content that drives pipeline comes from strategy, execution, and iteration.

What happens after 6 months?

You complete the internship program and join our alumni network.

Top performers get considered for our Content Marketing Manager position (paid, equity, real role).

Either way, you leave with:

• Experience building content systems (strategy → planning → calendar → execution → measurement)
• Portfolio across 6 B2B content formats (blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, Twitter, email, sales enablement)
• Real attribution data (signups, trials, purchases from your content)
• Cross-functional startup experience (working with product, partnerships, growth, data teams)
• AI-assisted content creation skills (top 1% approach that 99% of writers don't know)
• Understanding of what makes B2B content actually work

The best content doesn't feel like marketing, it feels like help.

Ready to learn B2B content marketing that actually drives results?

Apply: Record a 1-minute video (phone quality is fine) explaining:

• What excites you about B2B content marketing?
• Find one piece of B2B content you loved recently (blog, LinkedIn post, tweet) and explain why it worked
• Why you, why now, why this internship?

P.S. — Still reading? Good. Go find one great piece of B2B content. Read it. Think about why it works. Then record that video. We want people who can spot great content and understand what makes it effective, not just people who want to write.

We just opened 2 seats for a Customer Success & Retention Marketing team.

Free = costs you nothing, pays you in skills, tools, portfolio – and commission.

Most roles are about getting customers.

This is about helping them succeed.

Here's what's broken about customer success in 2025:

Most companies treat CS like support. Answer tickets. Put out fires. React to problems.

That's not customer success. That's customer support.

We've automated support. AI chatbot. Help center. Demo videos. It handles 90% of questions.

Customer success? That's different.

That's building relationships. Analyzing data. Optimizing experience. Proactive outreach before problems happen. Making customers so successful they stay, grow, and refer.

So we asked ourselves:

What if we hired a team of 2 who genuinely care about helping customers succeed – and know how to improve systems, build relationships, and market in ways that make customers stay and grow?

What you'll do as a team:

Build relationships in our Slack community (be the human connection, not the bot – engage, help, build trust with customers where they actually hang out)

Analyze customer metrics (health scores, usage patterns, engagement data, churn signals – spot trends and opportunities before they become problems)

Optimize customer experience (improve onboarding flows, help center content, AI chat responses, key touchpoints – make the system better, not just react to issues)

Proactive customer outreach (reach out before problems happen – check-ins with at-risk customers, celebrate wins with successful ones, guide new customers to value faster)

Retention marketing campaigns (email sequences, in-app messaging, feature announcements, usage tips, win-back campaigns for inactive users)

Create customer stories (capture case studies, testimonials, success stories – turn happy customers into advocates)

Manage referral programs (incentivize and enable customers to bring others)

Upsell/upgrade campaigns (help customers see value in higher tiers when it makes sense for them)

Customer education (webinars, tutorials, best practices – help customers get more value)

Handle hand-offs from AI (when the 10% of cases come through that AI can't handle, you step in – but this is exception, not the rule)

Track and improve retention metrics (churn rate, expansion revenue, NPS, customer lifetime value, referral rate)

As a team of 2, you'll own customer success and retention together. Individually, you'll focus where you're strongest. You'll figure out the split.

→ Weeks 1-2: Deep dive into Unstuck Engine, our customers, and our retention strategy – learn the product deeply, understand customer journey, analyze current metrics. This is your foundation.

→ Weeks 3-4: Trial period – you're doing first relationship building in Slack, analyzing metrics, running retention campaigns, we're all deciding if this fits

→ Months 2-6: You're owning customer success and retention – optimizing experience, building relationships, improving metrics, helping customers succeed

What makes this different:

This isn't customer support. We've automated that.

This is customer success. Strategic. Proactive. Data-driven.

You'll build relationships (not answer tickets). You'll analyze and optimize (not just react to problems). You'll market to existing customers (not just acquire new ones).

Who Should Apply:

Recent graduates in Marketing, Communications, Business, or Psychology. This works best with deep immersion - the more hours you put in, the faster you'll learn and ship. Some interns do 15-20 hours/week, others go full-time (40 hours/week). Full-time means you build more, learn faster, and see stronger results in 6 months.

We're hiring 2 interns who will work as a team. You should care about customer wins, enjoy analyzing data to find insights, and be comfortable building relationships.

Fair warning:

This isn't for everyone.

If you're not willing to spend 2 weeks learning before you start → This requires deep product knowledge to help customers succeed

If you think customer success = answering support tickets → That's automated. This is strategic optimization and relationship building.

If you see customers as metrics → We need people who genuinely care when customers struggle and get excited when they win

If you're not analytical → You'll need to analyze metrics, spot patterns, make data-driven improvements

If you prefer working alone → This is a team role coordinating across CS and marketing

But if you genuinely care about helping people succeed, enjoy analyzing data to find insights and opportunities, like building relationships over time (not transactional interactions), think proactively (solve problems before they happen), want to optimize systems and make them better, and want to see direct impact (customers who stay, grow, and refer) – we should talk.

Because here's what we believe:

0% of sustainable growth comes from ignoring existing customers.

0% of great customer success is reactive support.

100% of the best retention comes from customers who succeed because you helped optimize their experience.

What happens after 6 months?

You complete the internship program and join our alumni network.

Top performers get considered for our Customer Success or Retention Marketing positions (paid, equity, real roles).

Either way, you leave with:

• Experience in proactive customer success and retention marketing (not support)
• Portfolio of retention campaigns and customer success optimization
• Real metrics (retention improvements, expansion revenue, NPS growth, referrals generated)
• Understanding of data-driven customer success
• Commission earned from retention and expansion success

The best customer success doesn't feel like support. It feels like partnership.

Ready to learn customer success and retention marketing that actually works?

Apply: Record a 1-minute video (phone quality is fine) explaining:

• What excites you about customer success (not support – the strategic, proactive kind)?
• Tell us about a time you improved a system or process to help people (doesn't have to be work-related)
• Why you, why now, why this internship?

P.S. — Still reading? Good. Think about that time you improved something to make it better for others. What drove you to optimize, not just react? Then record that video. We want people who see opportunities to make things better, not just people who respond when things break.
