Social Media Design Intern

You will be the person who turns Acrophase's ideas, work and people into short, scroll-stopping video. Most of your week will go into shooting and editing reels and shorts, with the rest spent planning, publishing and tracking posts on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and other channels we use.

This is a hands-on junior role. You will work closely with the marketing team, learn our brand voice, and grow into owning the social calendar end to end.

• Edit short-form and long-form video: cuts, pacing, transitions, colour correction, sound clean-up and music.
• Add captions, subtitles, motion text and simple graphics that match Acrophase's brand style.
• Adapt one piece of footage into versions for each platform (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) and its length limits.
• Keep raw footage, project files and final exports organised and easy to find.

• Plan, script and shoot reels, often on a phone, including behind-the-scenes, team, product and educational content.
• Track trending audio, formats and hooks, and adapt the ones that suit our brand.
• Deliver an agreed number of reels each week to a consistent quality.

• Build and maintain a monthly content calendar across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook and X.
• Write captions and hashtags, and schedule posts using platform tools or a scheduler such as Meta Business Suite or Buffer.
• Reply to comments and messages promptly, and flag anything sensitive to your lead.
• Track reach, engagement, watch time and follower growth, and share a short monthly report with what worked.

• Strong, hands-on video editing in at least one of Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut.
• A portfolio of reels or short videos you have edited yourself (Instagram, YouTube or a drive link).
• A good eye for pacing, framing and hooks that hold attention in the first 3 seconds.
• Working knowledge of Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube, including how their formats and algorithms differ.
• Clear written English for captions.
• Comfort shooting on a smartphone, with basic lighting and audio know-how.
• Ability to manage deadlines, take feedback and turn around revisions quickly.
• A degree or diploma in media, visual communication, marketing or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Design skills in Canva, Photoshop or Figma for thumbnails, carousels and static posts.
• Experience with Meta Ads or boosting posts.
• Familiarity with analytics tools such as Meta Insights, YouTube Studio or LinkedIn Analytics.
• Basic photography skills.

The role starts with a 3-month probation. At the end, we review your work together and confirm the role on successful completion. Here is what success looks like along the way:

Period

What we expect

Month 1

Learn the brand, tools and audience; edit and publish your first reels with guidance.

Month 2

Deliver reels on schedule with fewer revisions; run the content calendar for at least one platform.

Month 3

Manage posting across all platforms; share a monthly performance report with ideas for improvement.

We will hold a short check-in at the end of each month so there are no surprises at the final review.

• Real ownership of a brand's social presence early in your career.
• Room to experiment with new formats and ideas.
• A clear path to a confirmed role after probation.
