Who TAKE A SHOT is Looking For

You are an ideal candidate if you:

• Are currently enrolled at a university with a mandatory internship requirement.
• Seek genuine responsibility and real-world impact over observational tasks.
• Possess a keen interest in eCommerce, growth strategies, performance marketing, or analytics.
• Enjoy creative problem-solving and making data-driven decisions.
