Job Description

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

• Active Pickle user
