Social Media Intern

About the Role

We're an EdTech company on a mission to make learning more accessible and engaging. We are looking for a video-savvy, trend-obsessed Social Media Intern to help bring that mission to life online. You will play a key role in creating short-form video content that makes learning feel exciting, shareable, and relevant, while keeping our brand at the leading edge of platform trends.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategize and edit short-form video content (Reels, YouTube Shorts) that simplifies educational concepts or highlights product features in a fun, digestible way.
• Stay on top of emerging trends, sounds, formats, and memes, and quickly adapt them to fit our brand and audience (students, educators, or parents).
• Draft engaging captions, hooks, and scripts tailored to each platform's algorithm and audience behavior.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to turn educational content (courses, webinars, product features) into snackable video content.
• Manage the content calendar and posting schedule across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
• Monitor comments, DMs, and mentions; engage with our community authentically.
• Track video performance (views, watch time, shares, saves) and report on what's resonating.
• Support occasional filming at events, campus visits, or with student/educator ambassadors.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in any field, preferably Marketing, Communications, Media Production, Education, or related field.
• Strong video editing skills – proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Rush, Adobe Premiere Pro, or similar tools.
• Demonstrated understanding of short-form video best practices (pacing, hooks, captions, trending audio).
• A finger on the pulse of social media trends – you're the person your friends ask "wait, what's that sound from?".
• Strong writing skills with the ability to make educational content feel fun and accessible.
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple content pieces/deadlines at once.
