Spring Intern - Editorial & Content

Job Description

Although our spring internship program will be completely remote (students can apply from anywhere), please be aware that this intern will report into a west coast based manager and therefore should expect to work on pacific standard time.

The editorial team has the opportunity to dip our toes into so many other types of work. We are constantly in communication with members of other teams including the social team to work on content promotion and the video team to determine which pieces of content would benefit from a more visual component. But the best part of working in this department is how versatile the work is every day. The intern will gain hands-on experience with testing products, as well as writing for the site.

Responsibilities

During this internship, our intern will gain experience in every part of the content cycle from the brainstorming to actually finishing a project. They will help the team come up with new content ideas, write articles, build them in the CMS and see them promoted and published live on the site with their byline. The Intern will work on projects that they can take real ownership over and leave the semester with their name on articles and projects they've worked on. By the end of the internship, they will leave with a great collection of stories published to the site that they can take real pride in.
