Founder office - GTM intern

Most professional networks surface credentials. Profound is built on a different belief: that what a person can do matters more than where they have been, and that the right technology can make that visible at scale.

The product is an AI-native professional network designed to make human potential discoverable, built for a global market from day one.

Profound is at pre-seed, with a founding team that has scaled B2C products in India across Delhivery, Ola, Snapdeal, and Zomato.

As GTM Intern at Profound, you will own the user funnel and waitlist motion end-to-end.

You will map where users drop, design the communication for each cohort, and run the channels that move people through the funnel. The role asks for first-principles thinking on data, comfort with analytics and AI tools, and the instinct to act without being told.

You will work directly with the founding team and the GTM leads.

• The user funnel. Track where users drop off, identify the gaps, and own the fixes.
• Waitlist communication. Design and send the messaging that moves waitlist users toward activation.
• Cohort and segment analysis. Read how each user segment behaves and recommend what changes.
• Channel execution. Run email, community, and content across the funnel, end to end.
• Direct user feedback. Call and message users to gather signal on what is and is not working.
• Product improvement inputs. Surface funnel-driven feature ideas to the founding team.

• Diagnosed a funnel from data. You have spotted where users drop and proposed a concrete fix, not just flagged the number.
• Designed communication for a B2C audience. You have written or structured messaging for a consumer product or campaign.
• Worked with analytics tools hands-on. You have used tools like Posthog, Mixpanel, or similar to pull and interpret user data yourself.
• Operated in or around an online business. Your experience is in digital-first products, startups, or consumer internet, not traditional industries.
• Moved without being asked. You have taken ownership of a problem before someone handed it to you, and closed it.
• Comfortable reaching out cold. You have called or messaged users or customers directly to get feedback, and done it without hesitation.

• Start with the data, then go to the user. Numbers tell you where to look; a conversation tells you why.
• Own the problem to the last mile. Pick it up, work it through, and close it yourself.
• Move today, not tomorrow. The pace here rewards action; waiting for perfect information is not the default.
• Think from first principles. Ask why the cohort behaves the way it does before reaching for a tactic.
• Use the best tool for the job. AI tools and analytics platforms are part of how work gets done here, not optional.
• Bring the insight to the room. If you see something in the data, say it; the team wants to hear it.

You work directly with the founding team on the funnel and waitlist that determines Profound's early growth. The role gives you end-to-end GTM ownership at a pre-seed AI company built for global scale.
