Newsflash! We're launching a new program for college students itching to get real world startup experience. Welcome to SonarU!

Sonar is taking off, and we’re coming to a school near you! We think the world is changing, and so is how we connect with others. And college, well, it’s all about the people. Whether you are a freshman or a senior, whether you’re at a school-sponsored orientation or a last-minute frat party, Sonar is there for you, and ready to help you connect with the students around you. We’re like a little bit of liquid courage, only a whole lot easier on your liver.

Want to be part of a company that is redefining the way we meet with, flirt with, and interact with others? Apply to be a Campus Captain and become responsible for growing your SonarU campus community. We’ll help you come up with ways to make Sonar fun and useful, and you’ll tell us what works and what doesn’t. Because you know your campus best, you’ll have direct involvement in marketing and building the Sonar brand at your school. One day you might be planning a Sonar-sponsored event, another you’ll be doing market research and conducting interviews on campus, and blogging about the results. You’ll get tons of great experience running your own ship, plus support (and love) from the Sonar team in New York. There’ll be some fun perks too, like t-shirts, stickers, and maybe even a trip to hang at Sonar Intergalactic HQ in NYC if you play your cards right and prove your chops big time!

Here’s what you’ll be expected to do:

Grow the number of Sonar users on your campus

Plan marketing events and promos and make them happen

Contribute to the Sonar blog’s Campus crusades; you’ll write about the great events you’re hosting and report back on how students are using Sonar on campus

Hire and manage a stellar team of Sonar Interns to help you along the way

Liaise with campus newspapers and other student organizations to get the word out

You’re the perfect fit if you:

Are a DIY, independent, self-motivated powerhouse who enjoys setting your own schedule and making things happen

Are a natural social butterfly and a born leader. You play well with others and enjoy connecting on screen and off. (Bonus points if you’re already super involved on campus and rubbing elbows with school admins.)

Are looking to gain experience in the startup world and real world business, marketing & PR skills. We are a great reference for students looking to jump in and make their mark in startup land.

Eat, breathe, and sleep social media

Are a good writer and a great talker

Are pumped about Sonar’s mission and spreading the Sonar love on campus

You must be currently enrolled in college in order to be eligible. Students may earn internship credit at their college or university for their work, provided they complete all official documentation upon acceptance into the program. Time commitments will vary (10-20hrs) depending on internship requirements. (We provide the guidelines; you build your own schedule)

Still sound good? Awesome! Apply here and we’ll get back to you as soon as we come up for air.
