Growth & Community Operations Lead Internship

Roles

- We are looking for a Growth & Community Operations Lead to become one of the key faces of 7CodeArena across the Indian tech, creator, and gaming ecosystem. You will sit at the intersection of community growth, creator partnerships, content, live events, and internal operations. Your job is to turn the 7CodeArena vision into real conversations, creator collaborations, high-engagement content, and well-executed Battle Arena events. You'll work directly with founders and multiple internal guilds — Creator, Matrix, Logic, QA, Alliance, and Media — to keep growth initiatives moving from idea → execution → measurable outcome. This is a high-ownership role for someone who is outgoing, persistent, highly organized, emotionally intelligent, and naturally driven to build relationships. We value networking ability, execution, communication, and real-world problem-solving over fancy degrees.

• Creator & Influencer Partnerships
• Identify and reach out to prominent Indian tech creators, YouTubers, developers, and community leaders.
• Lead cold-outreach campaigns through relevant channels and create personalized partnership pitches.
• Manage creator conversations from first contact → negotiation → collaboration → execution.
• Develop tailored pitching materials for creators, influencers, and community partners.
• Coordinate creator integrations, platform features, livestreams, Battle Arena participation, and promotional campaigns.
• Build long-term relationships rather than one-time collaborations.
• Battle Arena & Event Operations
• Conceptualize and plan upcoming competitive live Battle Arena events.
• Coordinate event timelines, promotional campaigns, creator participation, and internal deliverables.
• Work with the Alliance Guild to amplify Battle Arena events and creator collaborations.
• Coordinate with internal engineering and media teams to ensure required event assets and promotional materials are delivered on time.

• Identify operational issues before they impact live events and coordinate quick resolutions.
• ️ Cross-Functional Operations
• Orchestrate workflows across the Creator, Matrix, Logic, QA, Alliance, and Media Guilds.
• Coordinate daily and weekly tasks across multiple teams to ensure smooth cross-functional execution.
• Track development and growth initiatives through sprint boards using Notion, Trello, Jira, GitHub, or similar tools.
• Monitor milestones, dependencies, deadlines, and contributor progress.
• Identify operational bottlenecks and work with founders and team leads to resolve them.
• Maintain organized internal documentation, task tracking, and project updates.
