A Lot About You

We are looking for a culture-obsessed creator to join our growing social team as a Social Media Intern. Sitting in the Yahoo Creative Lab, the Intern will work on developing both quickturn and planned strategic content for the @Yahoo social channels. This person will have a test-and-learn mentality (i.e.: you're not afraid of experimentation or the occasional flop), with a creative POV you're not afraid to share.

The person in this role must be extremely comfortable with all aspects of social content production (shooting, editing, motion graphics, design, etc.). There may be an occasional need to be on-camera.

We're looking for a stellar collaborator; someone who can take content ideas from the team and not only execute them, but up-level them. The person in this role will have ample opportunity to pitch and produce their own ideas, while also having the support of a team who will always be brainstorming ways to make Yahoo the brand to follow on social. The ability to both give and receive feedback is an absolute must.

• Know what's up - Identify social content trends to help determine what we'll join in on and how.


• Be a team player - Collaborate with teams to brainstorm for larger, strategic social and brand activations as well as reactive cultural moments.


• Have a critical mindset - Provide POV and feedback on all social content.

• You are actively enrolled in a Bachelor's program in Social Media, Marketing, Communications, or similar
