Department: BYU-Pathway Worldwide

PURPOSES

BYU-Pathway Worldwide is looking to fill several social media intern positions. These internship positions are 40-hours per week and are paid. Initially the internship might be remote but will eventually transition into the office. Internships start every January, April/May and August/September. There might be an opportunity for part-time employment (20 hours) instead of full time.

Social media interns fill strategy and production areas in either digital marketing and advertising, or social community growth and engagement in support of BYU-Pathway Worldwide’s digital outreach efforts. These efforts include managing day-to-day social media activity; developing and implementing social media campaigns and tactics; targeting online outreach to promote brand awareness and drive enrollment; and analyzing, reviewing, and reporting on effectiveness of campaigns to maximize results.

Last year we doubled our organic follower growth and had a tenfold increase in our engagements. If you want to be part of something that continues to grow and evolve, this is the right internship for you.
