THE SHORT VERSION

You are running point on the most important new initiative at Endless this year. Endless Clubs is going to become the campus arm of a global game development movement — and you are the person leading the team that builds the foundation. Within a few years, we hope to have hundreds of clubs at colleges and universities across the world. The club's goal is to turn game players into game makers who improve and demonstrate their career readiness by working on some of the many hard and soft skills required to make and market great games.

You manage four other interns. You own the project plan. You ship every deliverable on time. You are the daily face of the program to David (the Growth Leader at Endless) and to Matt (the Founder & CEO). Twelve weeks. Real responsibility. No training wheels.

WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO

Help define the scope and activities of the club program and set the stage to launch clubs at the first set of campuses in the fall 2026 semester.
Help hire the four interns who will report to you.
Run the team. Daily standups, weekly sprint reviews, weekly demo to Matt and David.
Own the master project plan. Ship every deliverable by August 31.
Be the founding voice of Endless Clubs to the outside world during the summer — represent the program in calls with NYU, Columbia, ASU, and other universities.
Plan and run the Vermont closeout retreat and the soft-preview Leadership Summit.
Hand off cleanly to the full-time Clubs Lead and Marketing Lead at the end of the summer.

WHO YOU ARE

You have run something before. A startup, a student org with real budget, a non-trivial project at a serious internship. Bonus if you have run a club movement of any kind.
Ideally, you have education and experience in Game Production.
You are a clear writer. You can think on paper, brief a designer, edit a peer's work, and write something a partner would forward.
You are organized enough to run a five-person team and hungry enough to still be in the work.
You care about games, education, or both — at least one of these has to genuinely light you up.
You are probably a rising senior or a recent graduate.

WHY THIS JOB

You are not getting coffee. You are running the project. By August you will have built and led a team, shipped a brand and a website and four playbooks and a film series, and recruited a national founding cohort of campus leaders. The thing you helped build will be visible at twenty-plus universities by the time you are back in school in the fall. You will work directly with the founder. The recommendation letter at the end of this is the kind people frame.

At Endless Studios, we envision a digitally empowered future for every student. We're a youth-centric game-making studio where budding creators collaborate with professionals to develop games. We are designed to mirror the authentic environment of a professional game studio to train technical skills like coding and design, alongside soft skills such as leadership and problem-solving. By blending game development with an enriching learning experience, we aim to nurture a community of young creators ready to innovate in a digital future. Endless Studios' parent company, E-Line Media, was founded over a decade ago to develop games that catalyze curiosity, explore meaningful themes, and provide gateways to new perspectives and interests. Our consumer games with meaningful themes (e.g. Never Alone, Beyond Blue) and our game-based learning platforms (e.g. Gamestar Mechanic, MinecraftEDU) have reached a global audience of over 10 million players across channels and been used by over 15,000 schools and after-school programs. Endless Network, our other parent organization, is a global network of companies, foundations, non-profits, technologists, and advocates who want to unlock human potential through technology. We are dedicated to empowering the next generation to succeed in the digital economy. We work to transform the lives of kids and young adults by expanding access to technology and information; and by helping them develop 21st century skills.
