PAID INTERNSHIP

Type Contract: Full-time, 6 months contract
Know where Brazil is on the map? Good. Know what a coconut looks like? Even better! Are you hard-working with a passion for GROWTH and a go-getter personality? YOU’RE HIRED. Well, not quite…
Vita Coco, the pioneer in coconut water and the #1 selling coconut water in the UK and US, is a passionate, fun-loving brand in one of the world’s fastest-growing categories. Beyond its impressive natural hydration and functional benefits, Vita Coco has built a real following in popular culture with celebrities, professional athletes, top-selling musicians, and many more.
With our Global Head Office in New York & our Supply Chain division in Singapore, the London-based business is responsible for developing the EMEA market. We’re a dynamic business that has created one of the most successful new subcategories in healthy non-alcoholic beverages driving our wider ambition to become a truly sustainable ‘better for you’ beverage company with Vita Coco leading all things coconut. In 2019 we are really proud to have received our B-Corp certification and be an active player in the movement of using business as a force for good across our environmental, community, and employee footprint. In 2021 we completed our IPO on the NASDAQ market and now trade under COCO.
We’re looking for a creative and energetic social media intern to join our team and bring the Vita Coco brand to life across social and digital platforms. This hybrid role will split time between our London office and in-the-field. You’ll play a key role in producing “refreshingly real” content for both TikTok, Instagram and paid media (creator partnerships, influencer content, ads). You’ll get the chance to shape engaging stories, capture content on the go, and learn how a global brand delivers standout digital marketing.

IN A NUTSHELL, YOU WILL BE…

• A idea generator – you will be expected to be not only exceptional behind an iPhone camera, but also abundant in social content ideas.
• What new TikTok series should we launch?
• How can we tap into humour or consumer truths to come up with something that hits?
• How can we quickly capture the content we need to jump on a trend, edit it, and go live before the trend dies out?
• How can we leverage existing resources (a bench of creators, employees, the content team and yourself) to create content that is super engaging online and others want to partake in?
• A idea executer – with support from the Social Media Team, you will be responsible for capturing low-fi content using untraditional methods, such as…
• Shooting at “The Hydration Station” aka our London HQ
• Organising your own low-cost shoot
• Capturing user-generated-content at events/on the ground
• Working with our traditional, in-house creative team to capture organic-feeling content at lifestyle/product shoots
• Set the bar – for what it means to produce meaningful, hilarious, entertaining social content.
• A idea explainer – taking a lead on social reporting, you will take social data points and use them to demonstrate the power of social media to the wider business.
  The job description is not exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake other duties in line with their ability and the changing needs of the business.
