[Hiring] Media & Research Intern @Headout

Role Description

Are you someone who enjoys creating visual content and digging deep into how things work? Can you balance creativity with structured research? If yes, this role at Headout’s Dex team might be a great fit.

Dex is our AI-powered tour guide product, and this role sits at the intersection of content creation and experience research. You’ll research venues and experiences in depth, and then translate that understanding into guided visual stories through images and videos.

This is a fast-paced role where you’ll learn quickly, ship work regularly, and see your output directly influence a live product.

What makes this role special?

• Work on a 0→1 Product: Be part of Dex, an early-stage product where your work directly shapes how users discover and experience travel.
• Blend Creativity with Research: Go beyond editing. You’ll research venues, destinations, and experiences, and translate that understanding into guided visual stories through images and videos, along with structured, usable documentation.
• Hands-on Learning with AI-Driven Media Tools: Get hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI-driven media tools being built in-house, and learn how they are used to create and scale new content experiences.
• High Ownership, Fast Learning: You’ll be trusted with real deliverables from day one. Initial training will get you started, but growth will come from doing.
• Build for Scale, Not Just Aesthetics: Your work won’t just look good — it will be used in product experiences consumed by users globally.
• Path to Full-Time Conversion: Top performers will be considered for full-time roles as we build out the team.
