Type: Internship (Eligible for College Credit) → Opportunity for Paid Role

About the Role

A New York–based content creator is seeking an ORGANIZED Social Media Assistant Intern to support video content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and YouTube long-form. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who understands short-form video deeply—both technically and creatively—and who knows how to capture candid, relatable, and funny moments that resonate online.

Ideally I'd like to keep this person on for a year. This position starts as an internship (eligible for college credit) with a clear path to a paid role, and significant room to grow as content output, partnerships, and new brand initiatives expand. 

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form video for TikTok, Instagram Reels (using Instagram’s Edits app), and syndicated YouTube Shorts

• Assist with long-form YouTube and vlog-style content

• Help support consistency across platforms, including recurring series and formats

• Track, research, and surface trend forecasting across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

• Support filming days (in-home, NYC outings, events, brand moments).

• MUST BE GOOD AT TAKING PHOTOS AND VIDEO

• Help develop candid, relatable, and humorous content with strong pacing and timing

• But keep a good eye

• Support the creation of a new vlog world and storytelling formats

• Organize content, drafts, and workflows to support regular posting

• Assist in early content development for a new lifestyle side project focused on productivity, ADHD, and Type-B living (separate from the creator’s personal brand)

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts

• Strong working knowledge of Instagram’s Edits app (required)

• Experience editing video using CapCut, Instagram native tools, and/or Adobe Premiere

• Strong sense of humor, timing, and internet relatability

• Ability to edit in a way that feels candid, chaotic (in a good way), and shareable

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, real-time content environment

• Organized, proactive, and execution-oriented

• Interest in vlogging, storytelling, and series-based content

• Must be available in person in NYC 2–3 days per week

Preferred (Not Required)

• Bilingual (English/Spanish)

• Familiarity with influencer marketing or creator workflows

• Interest in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, pop culture, or digital media

• Curiosity around productivity, ADHD, or alternative creative workflows

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience working directly with a full-time creator

• Exposure to brand partnerships, campaigns, and event-based content

• Direct mentorship in short-form strategy, trend forecasting, and editing

• Real ownership over content systems, series, and execution

• Early involvement in building a new lifestyle brand from the ground up

• Opportunity to transition into a paid role with long-term growth potential
