The internship
Help Tucson Radio grow its social channels from home. You will draft posts, edit short videos, reply to comments and track what performs. We are headquartered in Tucson and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Tucson team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT.

- Reply to comments and DMs within the same working day, escalating complaints to the marketing lead.
