Social Video Intern (Summer/Fall )

Mission Bit is seeking an intern to work with our marketing team during the summer and fall of 2022. We’re looking for a current student journalist or recent graduate who is enthusiastic about clarity, video production, and storytelling; who is adept at building and cultivating communities on platforms like TikTok or Instagram; and is interested in sharing our mission to expose students to careers powered by technology with those audiences.

The intern’s main role will be to build up Mission Bit’s video presence, engagement, and following on social platforms. This means pitching and executing short social videos while developing and refining Mission Bit’s cross-platform voice and tone. Ideally, the intern would want to narrate or host videos. The intern will also help with general video audience strategy and work with our Marketing Strategist to repurpose existing assets for distribution on our website and other platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.

Two of Mission Bit’s core values that align with this position are community and social justice. The Social Video Intern for summer and fall should be able to provide evidence of previous work, whether video related or not, that aligns closely with these core values - as these will exist as the framework for projects to come.

The Social Video Intern will report to the Marketing Strategist but will also have the opportunity to work with others across the company. Applicants should be able to commit to a part-time schedule from June through December. This is a paid position and cannot be done remotely.

Basic qualifications:

• Some journalism experience
• Enthusiasm for Mission Bit and our mission
• Demonstrated experience creating compelling social videos
• Some experience with community engagement across social media platforms
• Some experience with Adobe Premiere. Applicants should be able to cut clips and add music
• Experience writing scripts and storyboarding
• Experience behind a camera (a smartphone camera counts)

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience writing social copy
• Experience using WordPress or a similar CMS to publish articles
• Experience in front of the camera (a smartphone camera counts)

Additional information:

If you don’t check every box, that’s OK — we’d still like to hear from you.

This internship is a paid internship and will run June 2022 through December 2022. Candidate must be available to work 15 hours/week on Western Time for the duration of the internship.

Again, this is a paid position and cannot be done remotely.
