Opportunity brief
About GrowUpWise
GrowUpWise is a life-skills platform helping children develop emotional intelligence, financial literacy, verbal intelligence, critical thinking, communication and digital skills.
We are actively building partnerships with practitioners, educators, and child-development experts who directly work with children and parents.
The Role
Your mission is simple: find the right experts, start meaningful conversations, and schedule qualified appointments with our founder.
- Identify & Research: Build a targeted pipeline of child psychologists, parenting experts, school leaders, educators and life-skills trainers.
- Personalized Outreach: Connect with prospects via LinkedIn, other professional networks, email or other appropriate outreach. No spam or mass templates—we value thoughtful, tailored communication.
- Manage the Pipeline: Track responses, follow up professionally, and handle objections.
- Drive Outcomes: Successfully schedule and confirm meetings, optimizing your messaging based on what converts.
Who We Are Looking For
- A proactive hustler who is completely comfortable approaching strangers.
- Excellent written communicator with a knack for persuasive, professional outreach.
- Organized, reliable, and unfazed by rejection.
- Bonus: Past experience in sales, BD, Rotaract, partnerships, or community building.
Expect ownership, experimentation, and ambiguity - not a conventional, highly structured internship.
If you're primarily looking for a certificate, this probably isn't the right opportunity.
What You Will Gain
- Hands-on startup BD and partnership experience.
- Direct mentorship from the founder and a tangible achievement for your CV.
- An internship certificate and a potential long-term role based on performance and company growth.
Note: Shortlisted candidates will complete a brief practical outreach exercise before final selection.
