[Hiring] Social Media Associate Intern @Stride, Inc.

Role Description

Tallo is a career discovery and talent connection platform that helps nearly 2 million users—mostly students and early-career talent—explore what they're capable of. We connect them with jobs, apprenticeships, scholarships, and learning opportunities.

We believe skills and potential matter more than pedigree. Someone who learned through an apprenticeship or taught themselves should have the same shot as someone with a four-year degree. That's the world we're building toward.

SUMMARY: Help us create and test social media content, track what's working (and what's not), manage our posting schedule, and bring your own creative ideas to the table.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Social Media Strategy & Testing: Help us figure out what content works best by testing different posts and ideas. Keep an eye on what's trending and let the team know when you spot something we should jump on.
• Content Planning & Scheduling: Help manage when and where we post content. Work with our content creators to make sure everything goes out on time.
• Analytics & Reporting: Track how our posts are doing—likes, comments, shares, all of it. Help create reports that show what's working and share your insights with the team.
• Creative Direction: Come up with ideas for content that fits our brand. Help write creative briefs (basically instructions for content creators) and give feedback on what we should post.
• Other Stuff: Help out with other projects the team needs support on.

Qualifications

• Minimum high school diploma (or its equivalency i.e GED)
• Experience with social media (your own accounts, running a club's page, or helping a local business counts!)
• Basic ability to look at numbers and understand what they mean
• You've used or are willing to learn tools like Sprout, Hootsuite, Buffer, or something similar
• You know your way around Canva or basic design
• You're a good communicator (writing and talking)
• You can create a Tallo account and use it
• Ability to work 40 hours a week
• Ability to clear a required background check.

Requirements

• You're always online – You see trends before they blow up and know what people your age are talking about

• You like data – You're cool with looking at analytics and figuring out what they mean
• You're organized – You can keep track of deadlines, calendars, and projects without everything falling apart
• You like working with others – You'll have weekly check-ins, brainstorming sessions, and maybe some events
• You care about helping people – You're excited about helping teens and young adults figure out their careers
• You know (or want to learn about) Tallo – You get what we do or you're excited to learn so you can represent us well
• You follow through – When you say you'll do something, you do it

Benefits

• Paid experience – You’ll get hands-on work experience with our Social Media team, Marketing team, and others while being paid for your efforts
• Mentorship – You'll be paired with a mentor, a manager, and have weekly team and one-on-one meetings with our early talent development leader to provide a robust support system.
• Learning environment – You'll get the opportunity to learn on the job and learn new platforms, tools, and skills to help further your development.
