Social Media Marketing Intern

Who we are:

Started in 1982 out of a spare bedroom, the agency now has a small office downtown. No pitching for work we cannot actually handle. We use Asana for projects and Slack for everything else.

About the role:

Help Youssef Marketing grow its social channels from home. You will draft posts, edit short videos, reply to comments and track what performs. Our headquarters is in Dubai, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Dubai team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours follow Gulf time, Monday to Friday. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

Day to day:

• 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.
• Support small paid boosts by preparing creatives and copy variations for testing.
• Study 5 competitor accounts each month and note what their best posts have in common.
• Edit short Reels and YouTube Shorts in CapCut or InShot from raw clips shared by the team.
• Schedule posts through Meta Business Suite or Buffer and double check timings before they go live.
• Design static posts and carousels in Canva using the existing brand kit.

What we're looking for:

• Own a laptop and have stable internet at home.
• Can start immediately or within two weeks.
• Women starting or restarting their careers are encouraged to apply.
• Able to stick to deadlines without daily reminders.
• Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree (BBA, BMS, BMM, Mass Communication, Marketing or similar), graduating in 2027.
• Laptop with a stable internet connection, plus a working smartphone for recording and checking posts.
• Good written English. Captions will be checked, but they should not need rewriting.
• Must be able to join short video calls during the team's working hours.

What you get out of it:

• How to plan and run a content calendar for real brand accounts, not mock projects.
• Weekly feedback on your captions and designs from the marketing lead.
• Basics of creator outreach and barter deals.
• Reading Instagram and LinkedIn analytics and deciding what to post next based on numbers.
