About DEEPS
DEEPS is a premium D2C lifestyle brand disrupting the sleep wellness space through innovative products backed by real science. We’re taking aim at a $90B sleepy and fragmented category entrenched in the old retail mode with virtually no digitally-native brands. The company launched with an innovative naturally formulated transdermal sleep patch that opened to glowing reviews, and was featured in the Daily Beast, W Magazine, Runner’s World among others.
This sleep patch is just the start of our expansion. At this stage, we are primarily focused on expanding into retail stores, and launching a range of functionally connected products dedicated to serving our mission: make it easy and enjoyable to be your best self tomorrow, and help people reach their specific version of optimal well-being. The company was co-founded by a Harvard MBA and NYU Stern MBA.
About the Internship
The team is small, and the intern will report directly to the COO/Co-founder and will be mentored by a full-time analyst. This internship is a unique opportunity to play a direct role in all aspects of building and expanding an early stage consumer brand. This opportunity has the potential to convert into a full-time role upon completion for the right candidate.
What We’re Looking For
You are enthusiastic, excited by entrepreneurship, and the idea of working at a startup. You can learn and handle cross-functional tasks across operations, marketing (email, social media, ads), sales, analytics. You have a “no job is too small” mentality, but you can also think big. You want to be a part of a small, and driven team. You are organized, very detail-oriented, scrappy but also have strong analytical skills. You can multitask, synthesize information efficiently (both verbally and in writing), and work with limited supervision, but you also thrive in a team-oriented environment. You show initiative, have great judgment, a lot of common sense, and can act decisively with limited information. You learn quickly, and have an orientation towards getting things done, even in domains in which you have no prior experience.
What You’ll Do
- Cross-functional work across marketing, product development, operations
- Management of relationships with existing/new vendors and suppliers
- Project management on commercial products roadmaps and internal team milestones and timelines
- Due diligence and market research on new products and technologies, customer segments, marketing strategies
- Management of the entire supply chain including inventory management tools/processes for the D2C and wholesale channels, and supervision of the in-house fulfillment team
- Development of various analytical tools, metrics, and methodologies to measure and optimize internal processes
- Unexpected tasks will arise on a regular basis. Your ability to take on and decisively solve unexpected issues is key.
Preferred Background
- Mix of IQ and EQ with a hint of scrappiness and a lot of judgement/common sense: You feel as comfortable creating a marketing email/social media post for the brand, forecasting some numbers on inventory, or calling a retail store/presenting the brand at a tradeshow
- Working toward a Bachelor’s Degree in an analytical field (engineering, computer science, operations, etc.) . Non-analytical educational backgrounds such as marketing will also be considered, however some analytical skills are required.
- Good academic performance/GPA
- Prior experience working/interning at a startup (or strong demonstrated interest) preferred, but not required
