Tenure · Campus Growth Intern
Location: University of East Anglia Campus and Norwich
Pay: £12.50 per hour
Hours: approx. 8 hours per week
Contract: zero hours, flexible around studies
Working style: on-site / hybrid
Start date: September 2026, or as agreed
This isn’t a typical campus job. You’ll become the face of Tenure at UEA, helping grow the student community, build relationships with landlords, represent the company at university events and support how the business develops.
Most student ambassador roles involve handing out flyers for an established company. This role is different. You'll be joining an ambitious startup at an early stage, meaning your ideas, initiative and work will directly influence how the business grows. You'll have genuine responsibility from day one and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on a company built specifically to improve student renting. If you're ambitious, enjoy meeting new people and want to help build something exciting, we'd love to hear from you.
Your responsibilities will include:
Representing Tenure across the UEA campus as one of our official Campus Growth Interns.
Promoting Tenure during Welcome Week, Freshers' Fair and other university events.
Speaking with students across campus to introduce Tenure and answer questions about the platform.
Building relationships with student societies and university groups to increase awareness of Tenure.
Distributing promotional materials across campus.
Encouraging students to recommend their landlords or letting agents to join the platform.
Conducting introductory demonstrations of Tenure to landlords and property managers.
Assisting with basic administrative tasks to support the wider team.
Gathering feedback from students and landlords to improve the platform.
Supporting marketing campaigns and helping generate creative ideas for engaging students.
Identifying new opportunities to grow Tenure's presence both on campus and within the wider Norwich student community.
Acting as the voice of students, helping shape new features and services based on user feedback.

Friendly, approachable and enthusiastic.
Excellent communication skills.
Self-motivated and able to work independently.
Reliable with good organisational skills.
Comfortable approaching students and local businesses.

Existing network across the student community.
Experience in customer service, sales, hospitality or retail.
Experience promoting events or organisations.
Interest in property, technology, business or marketing.
Social media content creation experience.
This role is designed to give you genuine commercial experience, not just another part-time role. From day one you will be at the centre of a rapidly scaling start-up, gaining insight into the entire business environment, from operations to marketing, to sales.
As one of Tenure's first hires, you'll work directly alongside the founders and gain first-hand insight into building a technology startup from the ground up. There is a huge emphasis on working with YOU to create a flexible working schedule around your calendar, so you can focus on what matters at university.
You'll have opportunities to:
Develop sales, marketing and business development experience.
Build confidence presenting to students, landlords and businesses.
Learn how startups acquire customers and scale.
Influence product development through customer feedback.
Strengthen your communication, networking and leadership skills.
Receive mentoring from the founding team.
Build valuable experience for careers in consulting, technology, communications, marketing or entrepreneurship.
Gain measurable achievements that stand out on your CV.
Receive opportunities for progression as Tenure grows.

Instead of asking for a traditional cover letter, we'd like you to answer three short questions (around 150–250 words each).
Tell us about an achievement you're particularly proud of. This doesn't have to be academic, we're interested in what it says about you.
What do you enjoy doing outside of your studies? Tell us about a society, sport, hobby, volunteering role, or project you've been involved in, and what keeps you motivated to do it.
Describe a time you worked as part of a team to achieve a goal. What was your role, what challenges did you face, and what was the outcome?
We ask these questions instead of requesting a cover letter because we believe they provide a more genuine insight into who you are. At Tenure, we value curiosity, initiative, teamwork and personality over perfectly polished applications.
