TechHub

At TechHub we're flat out planning and running great events, meeting with potential partners, taking people for tours, following up membership enquiries, working on new projects, supporting great tech companies and so much more. With the government's Tech City announcements last year and our involvement in their projects, plus the amount of press coverage we've had recently, there's some really great chances to get involved in exciting things.

This means we have opportunities for bright, enthusiastic, out-going, hard-working graduates or students with excellent English-language skills who are looking for some great experience in a fast-paced start-up. Want to immerse yourself in the business end of the tech industry? This is the place to do it.

Your contribution will be valued and we'll listen to your ideas. when you're doing a great job, we'll shout about it and make sure everyone knows about your talent.

A bit more

Please note these are unpaid internship opportunities (a stipend may be paid for travel and lunch expenses). This means that we want to make sure it's a great learning experience for you - you will not be stuck making tea all day, but will jump in and try new things.

We're also big fans of being yourself: there's no need to be super formal in your application, but we do like good English and punctuation and things like that.

So apply now! We're looking forward to hearing from you.
