Summer MBA Intern — Market Strategy & Expansion (NYC)
About Pickle
Pickle is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace unlocking the value of the billions of underutilized items sitting in consumers’ closets. We make it easy to rent high-quality items exactly when you need them — with fast, convenient fulfillment and an on-demand experience that’s as seamless as shopping.
We’re building a new kind of commerce layer: one powered by dynamic local supply, where access is more convenient than ownership. Pickle is now live nationwide and scaling rapidly in key markets including NYC, LA, Miami, Dallas, Austin, Chicago, with 400K+ items listed for rent.
Backed by our Series A (FirstMark, Craft), we’re moving fast and building the future of access-driven shopping.
About The Role
We’re hiring a Summer MBA Intern to work across our Markets & Growth teams on high-priority expansion initiatives.
This role is a mix of strategy, customer insight, and hands-on execution. You’ll identify new opportunities within the marketplace, validate them through data and user research, and help bring them to life — from idea to real-world testing, launching and early scaling.
This is not a “just strategy” internship — you’ll be expected to move quickly from insight → action → iteration, and will have real ownership over projects that directly impact the business.
What You’ll Do
Identify and evaluate new growth opportunities across the marketplace
Analyze user behavior, supply dynamics, and marketplace trends to inform strategy
Conduct customer interviews and research to validate hypotheses
Design and execute early-stage tests to bring new ideas to life
Work cross-functionally with Growth, Markets, and Operations to drive execution
Build and document playbooks based on what works
Continuously iterate based on performance and learnings
Measure and report on results
Who You Are
Currently pursuing an MBA
Strong analytical skills — you’re highly comfortable working in spreadsheets and using data to drive decisions
Experience in strategy, consulting, or similar problem-solving environments
Ideally paired with hands-on startup, growth, or operational experience
Scrappy and action-oriented — you excited to build from 0 → 1, not just ideate
You’ve built or executed something before (startup, side project, program, etc.)
Comfortable talking to customers and gathering insights directly; social and engaging
Highly organized — you can manage multiple workstreams and turn ambiguity into structure, quickly
Strong ownership mindset — you take initiative and follow through
Nice to Have
Experience with marketplaces, consumer apps, or e-commerce
Experience with customer research or user interviews
Experience launching new verticals or market expansion
Passion for fashion, culture, and community-driven products
