Position Summary
We are seeking an MBA Intern to work directly with Nestig’s co-founders on building and launching a new product line. This role offers the opportunity to be a hands on builder across strategy, product development, operations, and go-to-market execution.

This full-time position will be based out of our NYC office (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays), with no flexibility for remote full-time.
