Description

Block is a platform transforming the $400 billion renovation industry. Doing a home renovation is a very stressful and hard process. Our mission is to give homeowners a better way to improve the spaces they live in, and to give contractors a better way to work.

Block simplifies the renovation process and gives homeowners certainty on outcomes, quality, price, and time. We are building an ambitious, tenacious, and creative team who is unafraid of tackling new challenges. The founders are former leaders at Casper, HuffPost, and Rent the Runway. Investors include New Enterprise Associates, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, Obvious Ventures, and more.

Roles and Responsibilities

Block is looking for ambitious interns to work with key teams across the company. These are a few areas that you could work with us on year-round:

Work directly with our CRM tools, assisting in reporting and analyzing the sales funnel to help contribute to the efficiency of the Block sales process. Also, there will be opportunities to assist in building and developing our outbound sales funnel through potential business development partnerships. Get opportunity to earn commission for your own sales.
  • Marketing: work on a variety of projects with a best-in-class creative / marketing team -- ranging from performance marketing, brand, analytics, social media, digital design, and more.
  • Interior Design/Architecture: get interior architecture and design experience in a tech-forward company. Working with experienced architectural designers, construction managers, procurement, and more. Develop designs, details, drawings and renders, in addition to client interactions in a modern way. This fast pace process will help build a portfolio of residential work and see projects through from conceptual design to build completion.
  • Product: drive product features across our digital platform to improve the experience of renovations across consumers, builders, and the internal Block team. Contribute to user research, prototyping, agile product development, and the product roadmap while collaborating cross-functionally with the Block team.
  • Operations: work with the operations team that is the glue across the organization -- procurement, logistics, client support/operations, and process optimization. This team works across clients, contractors, designers, vendors, and other stakeholders to deliver superb outcomes at high efficiency
  • Construction: work on the front lines of the client and contractor with the construction supervision team.
