• Help develop recurring content formats and series, and support photography and video during company activities, events and occasional travel
• Monitor content performance and identify what resonates with the audience
• Proactively identify podcasts, interviews, conferences, speaking opportunities, diaspora organisations, universities, cultural organisations, creators and potential collaborations, and support initial outreach and coordination

Required profile

• Studying or recently graduated in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, PR, Media, International Relations, Business or a related field
• Strong instinct for storytelling and understanding of social media beyond just posting
• Very good English writing
• Comfortable filming and editing simple, high-quality social content
• Organised, curious and able to manage several small projects at once

What we offer

• Direct access to the founder and insight into how an international company is run
• Significant creative freedom and the chance to build a portfolio of real published work
• Collaboration with an existing marketing team on the wider brand

To apply, send a short introduction, links or examples of content you have created, your social media profiles if you are comfortable sharing them, and answer the question: if you were responsible for the founder's personal brand for six months, what three pieces of content would you create first and why?
