The internship

Remote internship for a student who actually uses Instagram and LinkedIn every day and has opinions about what works. Most of the work is content calendars, captions, Canva creatives and weekly reports. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

What you'll do

• Maintain a shared folder of approved images, logos and video clips so nothing gets lost
• Research trending audio, formats and memes that fit the brand, and pitch 3 ideas in every Monday call
• Study 5 competitor accounts each month and note what their best posts have in common
• Design static posts and carousels in Canva using the existing brand kit
• Track reach, saves, shares and follower growth every week and put the numbers in a simple report
• Draft LinkedIn posts for the founder's profile from rough notes or voice memos
• Join a 30 minute stand-up on Google Meet three times a week
• Coordinate with creators over DM for barter collaborations, using message templates approved by the team

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Must be able to join short video calls during the team's working hours
