Opportunity to work at a mission-driven certified B Corp that is committed to leading the change by using business as a force for good

$16/hour, up to 20 hours per week

Opportunity to bring your passion for sustainability and clean energy to work

At Southern Energy, we help North Carolina homeowners and businesses run on sunshine and smarter buildings and we're looking for a part-time Marketing Communications Intern to help us tell that story.

You'll partner with our building science and solar energy teams to create content that teaches, inspires, and gets people excited about sustainable solutions. If you love a well-turned phrase, nerd out on clever marketing, and care about climate solutions, we’d love to hear from you!

What You'll Be Doing

Transforming technical solar and building science principles into engaging, educational content

Sharing the energy and passion of our team on social media, in newsletters, and blogs

Improve our social media presence to build a superfan base

Capture video and photos that tell our story and support our mission to improve how the world makes and uses energy

Must-Haves

Proficient in Google workspace tools and creating content on Instagram, Facebook, & LinkedIn

Solid grasp of marketing fundamentals and how to build a simple marketing strategy

Clear communicator with sharp editing skills

Practical experience using social platforms to grow an audience or drive engagement

Photography, social video editing, or graphic design skills are a plus!

Bonus points for Canva, Hootsuite, and Hubspot familiarity

Who We're Looking For

You have a passion to learn and "seek solutions" when presented with challenges

You're a natural collaborator who takes feedback in stride and turns it into action

You thrive in a busy, high-energy team, but you've got the drive to own your work and run with it

You're curious about new marketing strategies and have a pulse on the latest digital trends

You're energized by using social media to connect communities and champion sustainability

You're an animal lover who may have a pair of Blundstones for hiking and onsite visits with our crews (Note: we are a dog friendly office!)

What You'll Learn and Achieve

The scoop on solar power, sustainable building, and working at a Certified B Corp!

How a marketing strategy comes together to grow an audience that drives engagement

Experience creating a variety of content with tangible work to add to your marketing portfolio

Practical skills to support your professional journey like managing projects in Asana, owning tasks and their outcomes, and interpreting feedback from a marketing lens

Build confidence in developing marketing strategies for B2B and B2C audiences and communicating with a variety of teams

AI Use Within This Role

AI use is reserved for high-impact applications that support the growth of solar & energy efficiency

Your creativity and experience will take center stage in developing authentic content, with AI as a sidekick, not the lead

Best practices for ethical and sustainable AI use will be shared, with clear guidelines around transparent AI use in a collaborative setting

You'll learn what responsible AI use looks like in practice for a B Corp, from selecting tools to developing company policies, and measuring, monitoring, and offsetting impact.

SEM is a company that values the employment of local community members -- seeking to bring historically disenfranchised voices to the forefront of projects in the field of energy and relating directly to climate justice.
