Job description

If you enjoy thinking about why people stop scrolling, read a caption, or join a conversation, this internship offers a chance to explore that interest through practical work. As a Social Media Intern, you will help a marketing team prepare posts, organize its publishing calendar, and understand audience responses. You will work from approved briefs, contribute ideas, and learn how content moves from an initial concept to a published post.

The work involves more than posting regularly. You will consider who a piece of content is for, what it should communicate, and whether the response matches its intended purpose. A supervisor will review your work and guide you through the organizations tone, approval process, and community guidelines.

Proposed internship details

• Location: Remote within India
• Duration: Three months
• Weekly commitment: Approximately 15 hours
• Monthly stipend: ₹7,000–₹12,000
• Eligibility: College students from any discipline with an interest in digital content
• Schedule: Agreed working windows, including scheduled checks of assigned channels

Responsibilities

• Suggest post ideas based on approved campaign themes and audience interests.
• Draft captions and adapt wording for different social platforms.
• Create simple graphics using supplied templates and brand guidelines.
• Help prepare short video scripts, storyboards, or basic edits.
• Maintain a content calendar with draft dates, review status, and publishing deadlines.
• Check approved posts for spelling, links, image credits, captions, and accessibility text.
• Monitor comments during assigned hours and flag questions or sensitive messages.
• Respond to routine enquiries only when authorized and using approved guidance.
• Record basic performance measures and summarize what audiences responded to.
• Keep creative files organized so teammates can locate and reuse approved assets.

You do not need a large personal following or previous paid marketing experience. Your ability to communicate clearly, develop relevant ideas, and respond to feedback matters more.

The proposed requirements are:

• Clear written English; additional Indian-language skills may be useful for specific audiences.
• Familiarity with platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook.
• Basic Canva skills or willingness to learn a similar design tool.
• An eye for readable layouts and consistent formatting.
• Interest in understanding performance beyond likes alone.
• Respect for copyright, privacy, and permission when using images or videos.
• Access to a computer and dependable internet.
• Availability to meet agreed deadlines alongside your studies.

A college club post, personal design project, or sample campaign can help demonstrate your approach.

Benefits & Perks

Suggested terms for employer review:

• Monthly stipend of ₹7,000–₹12,000.
• Guidance from a marketing supervisor.
• Access to approved templates and required content tools.
• Feedback on writing, design, and campaign ideas.
• Experience preparing content for real publishing workflows.
• An internship completion certificate after meeting the agreed requirements.
• Permission to include selected work in your portfolio, subject to approval.

You should not be required to use your personal social accounts to promote the employer unless this is separately discussed and agreed.
