Social Media Associate Intern
About this role
Job 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.

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.
