Chief of Staff (Internship / Part-Time) — Kotofit

About Kotofit

Kotofit is building NYC/NJ's first tech-powered indoor badminton and pickleball club — automated venues, skill-based matchmaking, and a community built around rated play. We just signed leases on two locations and are preparing for a mid-July launch.

The role

We're looking for a Chief of Staff who reports directly to the founder and owns the execution of our entire go-to-market launch. That means three things running simultaneously: a traditional marketing program across Google, Instagram, TikTok, and email; a community ambassador program where we recruit and manage crowd-pullers who grow the venue through their networks; andy DUBR — our proprietary badminton rating and matchmaking platform that we're launching alongside the venues.

What you'll own

• Execute the full pre-launch and launch marketing plan across all channels — organic social, SEM, email, SMS, and community outreach
• Build and manage the Kotofit Ambassador Program — recruit, onboard, track performance, and pay out commissions for a tiered network of community ambassadors
• Drive DUBR player acquisition — get badminton and pickleball players in the NYC/NJ area profiled and matched before the venues open

What we're looking for

You are a self-starter in the literal sense — you see a gap and close it without being asked. You are comfortable with ambiguity and don't need a perfect brief to take action. You are energized by community building, not just digital marketing — this role involves real people, real venues, and real relationships.

Specific experience that helps but isn't required: sports or fitness industry, community management, ambassador or referral program management, Google Ads, email marketing, content creation or direction.

What you'll get

• Compensation, 20–30 hours per week
• Direct mentorship from an Ivy-educated founder building a franchise business
• Real ownership — you will be the person who launched Kotofit, not someone who assisted with it
• Exposure across marketing, operations, product, and community strategy simultaneously
• A reference and professional relationship that will follow you for years
• Access to the venues, the community, and the sport — if you play badminton or pickleball, even better
