Troope is the new app that brings friends together to get group-only discounts and deals on leisure
activities near them. With an upcoming beta launch at Brown, Troope is seeking a highly-motivated
intern to join as Troope turns this exciting corner.
ABOUT TROOPE
Troope connects entertainment-seekers with establishments looking to boost business by offering a
small concession in return for bringing in a higher number of customers, who are likely to consume
more when on-premises. Venues have total control: they decide the freebie they wish to offer and
how many people are required for the deal to become available. Owners benefit from increased
business; customers, from better value.
JOB DESCRIPTION
It’ll be a little bit of everything at Troope. As Employee #4, the successful candidate must be willing
to roll up his or her sleeves and help wherever it is needed. Creativity and initiative are musts. The
role will consist primarily of two parts: relationship management and marketing (although it will
include a whole lot more).
Relationship management means identifying appropriate businesses around the Brown campus
and persuading them to come on board. It also means checking in with them regularly to make sure
that they are happy with the benefits of Troope as well as the smoothness of the process. Marketing
will include developing the outreach strategy, executing it, and organizing a successful launch.
Although the date is tentative, Troope is slated for launch in April 2013, so the candidate must be
available to immediately in preparation.
REQUIREMENTS
Must be willing to work in Providence over the summer
Strong interpersonal skills
Creative mind with an ability to identify new opportunities
Experience in startups or with apps preferred
Graphic and/or web design experience a huge plus
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
As Employee #4, the successful candidate’s potential to grow alongside the company is unlimited.
Additionally, beginning in June 2013, the candidate will be offered a stipend of $200 a month.
