Remote Social Media Intern

The Company:

Our mission is to make education affordable by helping institutions increase alumni giving. The idea started with our founders’ own struggles with inadequate scholarship opportunities available to support their classmates. Watch this TEDx talk from Kalyan to learn more.

We are a bootstrapped company that has grown to be a leader in the alumni software space in the US. We’re slated for even faster growth on the path to becoming market leaders through a unique strategic partnership with Blackbaud (read more here & here)

Our customers are universities and high schools, and in most cases, we’re working with staff in these institutions’ alumni relations and fundraising offices. The value prop for them at a high level is simple - “Engage more alumni and raise more money from them.” 90%+ % of our customers are currently from the US, but we’re expanding to the UK and Canada in 2023, so we’ll start seeing more customer regions. Our team is based in India and the USA. The India team is based in Bangalore, and the US team is remote.

The Opportunity:

This is a 3-month internship with the flexibility to work at your own pace—perfect for those who thrive in a dynamic environment. Based on your performance, there is potential for this role to transition into a full-time associate position. You’ll play a pivotal role in managing our social media presence while also contributing to brand awareness and partnership campaigns. This is a great chance to gain hands-on experience and make a real impact as we grow our brand.

• Track and update social media metrics, offering insights for growth opportunities.

Work Timings:

You are expected to work 4 - 6 hours a day, with flexible work hours.

• 3-12 months of hands-on experience managing social media accounts (experience with SaaS, Edtech, or the US market is a bonus).

• Strong writing and storytelling abilities to craft compelling content.

• Basic design skills and proficiency in tools like Canva or Figma are essential.

• Excel proficiency with a solid ability to analyze data and translate insights into actionable strategies.

• Passionate about social media strategy and interacting with multiple stakeholders online. While the internship lasts three months, we want to convert the role into a full-time associate position based on performance.
