About the Role
As our Social Media & Marketing Intern, you'll play a key role in growing Discover Queer's digital presence and community. Working directly with our Founder & CEO, you'll help shape how our brand shows up online through thoughtful storytelling, creative content, and strategic marketing.
This isn't an internship where you'll simply complete assigned tasks. We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing fresh ideas to the table, taking initiative, experimenting creatively, and helping build an emerging brand from the ground up.
Because we're a small (but growing!) business, you'll have a front-row seat to entrepreneurship and gain hands-on experience across social media strategy, brand marketing, email marketing, analytics, and digital growth. Your ideas won't disappear into a large marketing department—they'll help shape the future of Discover Queer.
What You'll Do
Help manage the day-to-day execution of Discover Queer's social media presence across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms
Brainstorm and create engaging content aligned with our brand voice and audience
Design graphics, edit videos, and create short-form content using Canva, CapCut, or similar tools
Maintain and execute our social media content calendar
Schedule and publish content across platforms
Monitor engagement and help foster community through thoughtful interactions
Research LGBTQ+ travel trends, destinations, creators, and industry conversations
Stay current on social media trends, platform updates, and content best practices, bringing fresh ideas to the team
Track weekly performance metrics and identify insights, opportunities, and recommendations to improve future content
Assist with email marketing, newsletters, and lead magnet promotion
Support occasional marketing, branding, and creative projects as Discover Queer continues to grow
Who You Are
Curious, creative, and excited to learn
Passionate about storytelling, digital media, and creating content that connects with people
Excited about LGBTQ+ community, travel, or both (bonus points if you're passionate about both!)
Entrepreneurial and energized by helping build something from the ground up
A self-starter who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems, and figuring things out
Organized, dependable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with our Founder
Open to giving and receiving thoughtful feedback
Familiar with Canva, CapCut, or similar creative tools (experience with social media scheduling tools is a plus)
How We Work
We're a small, collaborative team that values curiosity, kindness, initiative, and continuous learning. We believe the best ideas can come from anyone, regardless of title or experience. We're looking for someone who asks thoughtful questions, shares ideas confidently, embraces feedback, and is excited to grow alongside us.
What You'll Gain
Direct mentorship from the Founder & CEO of a growing travel company
Meaningful ownership over real projects—not busy work
Hands-on experience with social media strategy, content creation, email marketing, analytics, and brand storytelling
Opportunities to contribute strategically and see your ideas come to life
Portfolio-worthy work with measurable impact
Flexible, remote work in a supportive and collaborative environment
