We're looking for a young, savvy, energetic intern to help us grow our social media channels, with a focus on Instagram and TikTok to begin with, through the creation of meaningful social media content (a mix of reels, static posts, in action how-to videos, etc.) to better entice and engage our parent and child audiences alike, focusing on our full portfolio of brands.

We're based in Rivonia and would need the intern to visit the showroom to view our products and at times take footage on site there. The role is on an adhoc / part-time basis to begin with.

• Adhoc / part-time work: Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm - 1 to 3 days of work required per week, in order to create regular weekly social media content (visuals and copy) for posting to our IG and TikTok channels (to start with)
• Hybrid: Primarily remote, with some in-person meetings to meet the team, view the products in the showroom and get the briefs per brand for the first month, whilst getting to know the products, from there it can become fully remote.

Requirements:

• Access to a laptop with necessary software for remote work.
• Currently pursuing a short course, certificate, degree or diploma in Social Media Content Creation, Digital Marketing, Marketing, or a related content creation field.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Familiarity with social media platforms and digital marketing concepts.
