Marketing & Communications Intern

About the Role

Impact Beacon partners with mission-driven organizations to strengthen their internal systems, donor engagement strategies, and operational resilience. We're looking for a curious, driven intern who can help us tell that story well: through case studies, articles, social media and the numbers behind them.

Key Responsibilities

• Content & Storytelling
• Write case studies that show how our work has helped partner organisations, from the first conversation to the final draft.
• Draft articles, blog posts and thought leadership pieces for our website and LinkedIn.
• Interview our leadership and partners to gather stories, quotes and perspectives, then turn them into clear, readable content.
• Assist in preparing newsletters, one-pagers and presentation material.
• Social Media Marketing
• Manage a monthly content calendar, mainly for LinkedIn and schedule it.
• Create simple visuals in Canva.
• Engage with our community and keep an eye on what peers in the sector are publishing.
• Analytics & Reporting
• Track how our content performs across LinkedIn and the website.
• Build simple monthly reports that show what's working and what to change.
• Keep our content and contact lists organised and up to date.
• Sector Research
• Follow trends in philanthropy, nonprofit operations and the social impact sector.
• Turn that research into content ideas, briefs and talking points for leadership.

Qualifications

• A graduate or student in communications, journalism, marketing, English or a related field.
• Strong writing skills, with a portfolio or writing samples to show.
• Confidence speaking with senior leaders and asking good questions.
• Hands-on experience with LinkedIn and at least one other social platform like YouTube.
• Comfort with analytics tools such as LinkedIn Analytics, Google Analytics or Meta Business Suite.
• Working knowledge of Canva, Google Workspace and Notion.
• Organised, reliable and ready to own your work from start to finish.
• An interest in the nonprofit and social impact sector is a plus.

What’s in It for You: Learn behind-the-scenes of strategy and execution in the nonprofit space, work directly with leadership on high-impact initiatives, receive a certificate, mentorship, stellar LinkedIn recommendations, and a monthly stipend at par with industry standards.
