JOB TITLE:

JOB PURPOSE:

As a social media content intern, your number one priority is helping to produce content for our newest and fastest-growing social media channels at UW. With almost 150,000 followers, our team is responsible for posting fun and exciting content to help recruit new students and retain existing ones. We’re looking for a current UW student who is creative, can work independently and check in with our upbeat team to contribute new ideas that will help us reach our goals. Whether it’s an event, concert or a football game, your content is pivotal to showing the vivid atmosphere of what it’s like to be a Poke.

We’re looking for someone who spends a lot of time scrolling the latest TikTok trends and has the ability to put themselves out there to bring UW to life on social media. The perfect intern is as good with video editing as they are walking up to someone in Prexy’s and asking them to be in one of UW’s takeovers. We work closely as a team to come up with fresh, new ideas so you should enjoy working collaboratively. Most of your time will be spent out and about on campus producing content for our social media channels. JFTNMP
