Competition for Summer Internship Positions at Sydney Startup Play2Lead
Play2Lead is a quiz platform that allows players to play games on their desktop or mobile devices so that they can learn the latest in 
their particular areas of interest. The first target segment that this platform will address is management education. Play2Lead has engaging gamification elements and simple integration to social media.
Interns who showcase the best fit will have the opportunity to apply for a full-time role as Content Manager or potentially depending on your interest and skills other roles in the management team. This role is initially to create contextual quizzes to best demonstrate the key insights from leading management books. If you like reading about the latest in management thinking (this is not about reading lengthy case studies;) then this role is for you. This is an unpaid role.
