Social Media + Content Intern
Part-Time, Remote | $25/hr | 25 hours per month | 4 month internship: August 1 - November 30th 

RECESS is an online gathering for creatives, strategists, designers, and producers to share what’s currently inspiring them. We also publish the RECESS Creative Playbook — an annual PDF guide packed with tools, tips, and inspiration from global creatives.

We’re sitting on a goldmine of content: past event talks, presentations, and our jam-packed Playbooks. Now, we’re looking for a social media-savvy intern to help bring it all to life online.

What You’ll Do:
This is a hybrid content strategist meets creator role. We’re looking for someone who’s not just a designer but a thinker. For the first month, you’ll focus on developing and delivering a social media plan and strategy. The next three months you’ll execute the strategy.

You’ll:

• Reimagine RECESS content — come up with creative ways to repackage past presentations, speaker quotes, and insights from our RECESS Creative Playbooks into short-form video, carousels, infographics, and more

• Design and post content — create and share social assets across our channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, maybe even TikTok or YouTube… you tell us!)

• Cut and edit video — create short video clips from recorded RECESS LIVE talks to share on socials

• Create shareable assets for speakers — update Canva templates with speaker info + photos, and prep assets for each event like these and these

• Post-event wrapup posts  — turn monthly speaker presentations into individual posts like this and this

• Support basic event promo — help us create event announcements and reminders like this

• Contribute ideas — we want someone who has their own creative opinions, who can spot potential in a pile of content and bring it to life in new ways
  
  

About You:

• You have experience in design and social media content creation, and are comfortable with light copywriting

• You’re comfortable in Canva for updating the speaker badges, but otherwise, you can use your preferred design software and know basic video editing

• You’re a creative self-starter who’s excited about content strategy, not just execution

• You’ve got an eye for clean, compelling visuals and thoughtful storytelling

• You’re organized, responsive, reliable, able to hit deadlines and cool with remote, async collaboration
  

Time & Pay:

• 25 per hours/month

• $25/hr ($625 total per month)

• Flexible hours

Perfect for you if you’re into:

• Creative industry trends

• TikTok or short-form video culture

• Event-based storytelling

• Building something small but mighty

Details: 

This is a freelance role. You’ll be working with us as an independent contractor, not an employee. You’ll be responsible for submitting a monthly invoice and managing your own taxes.
