Open roles

On the one booking we hold a real payout statement for, less than half of what the renter paid reached the owner of the RV. We take nothing. That sounds like an easy pitch, and we are not sure it is, because most of what we believe about RV owners comes from forums, competitor pages and one owner's experience with one rig.

This role goes and finds out. You will run short calls with owners around San Diego and ask how they rent today: where they list, what it costs them, what works and what drives them up the wall. You are not selling on those calls. Owners keep whatever platform they already use, because RVmigo syncs calendars with it, so nobody is ever asked to switch. That is what makes the conversation an honest one.

The second half is what happens when someone likes what they hear. You stay on the call and walk them through building their listing while they drive their own screen. You will watch real people meet this product for the first time, which is something we have never been able to do.

Most of your time. Around fifteen minutes each, by phone or video, from wherever you are.

• Ask how someone rents today, and listen more than you talk
• Write down what they actually said, not what would have been convenient to hear
• Find out early whether they carry a commercial rental policy, because it changes everything that follows
• Sort each conversation by type, so we learn who this platform genuinely helps
• Bring back the answers that argue against what we believed. Those are the valuable ones.

The onboarding half of the role, and where the research pays off the same afternoon.

• Walk an interested owner through creating their listing on the same call
• Guide them over a screen share while they drive, so they learn it by doing it
• Note every place the product confuses someone, which is worth as much to us as the listing
• Follow up afterwards so nobody is left half set up

This is a real study with a real deliverable, not filing and note-taking. By December you will have run one end to end and written it up.

• How to design an interview guide, and how to spot the leading questions in your own first draft
• Purposive sampling: choosing who to talk to on purpose rather than taking whoever answers
• Thematic analysis, which is how twenty messy conversations become four findings
• Informed consent and research ethics, applied rather than examined
• Customer discovery and qualification, a named and portable commercial skill
• How to write a findings report for someone who is going to act on it
• A report with your name on it as the author, and permission to describe the study, its methods and its findings in university applications, interviews and on your resume

This is an early-stage company and a fast-paced one, and both of those are a description rather than a recruiting adjective. The distance between something you find and something that changes on the site is days rather than quarters. An owner tells you on a Tuesday call that a step confused them, and it can be different before your next interview. You will watch your own work ship, which most internships cannot offer at any level.

You will work with AI tooling on the research itself, and with modern tools generally, rather than hearing about them. Transcribing interviews, taking a first pass at coding what people said, drafting and then pressure-testing your interview guide before you use it on anyone. Doing that well, and knowing the places it quietly gets things wrong, is becoming part of how research is actually done. You will leave with real opinions about that, which is worth more than having used any particular tool.

You will own the project end to end: your questions, your interviews, your findings, your report. Nobody is going to hand you a script to read.

A student, in the last years of high school or early in an undergraduate degree. How you are with people matters far more here than anything on your resume.

• You are good at getting someone to open up, and you would rather listen than fill a silence
• You are comfortable being told no, because plenty of people will
• You write clearly enough that someone can act on your notes
• Active listening, peer support, tutoring, debate, journalism or interviewing experience counts for a lot
• No technical skill is needed, no knowledge of RVs is assumed, and nobody expects you to arrive with any

You will not be handed a phone list and left to it.

• A weekly half hour with the founder: ten minutes on where things stand, twenty on how to do this better
• Your first calls reviewed with you line by line, which is where most of the learning happens
• The first introductions opened for you, so week one is not a cold start
• Anything about insurance, liability or money goes to the founder, so you are never the one guessing
• A written reference at the end describing the specific work you did and what you found

Twelve weeks from September 2026, four hours a week on average. Lighter at the start, heavier through the busiest stretch of interviewing. Four is a ceiling rather than a target, and the hours are yours to choose around school. The work pauses for two weeks in late November so university applications get your full attention.

This is a remote role. The calls happen from wherever you are, and any visit in person happens alongside the founder. Pay is a stipend for the project rather than an hourly rate, and the amount is discussed on application. Where a school runs a work-based learning programme, the placement can be arranged through it.
