At Athletic Brewing, we are on a mission to revolutionize the beer industry and we are doing it with a team of doers. We move quickly, we hold a high bar, and we reward performance. We are a company of hard workers and dedicated professionals who take ownership, drive results, and want their impact to be visible.

We believe in merit, accountability, and earning opportunities through contribution. High performers grow here. If you are motivated by building, improving, and winning as a team, you will thrive at Athletic.

Through our products and our people, we believe we can positively impact health, activity, and opportunity in our communities. We actively seek representation from diverse backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve.

About the Role

We're looking for a proactive, culturally plugged-in Social Media Intern to support our team in bringing the Athletic brand to life on organic social platforms. This role is hands-on and fast-paced, assisting with concepting, shooting, editing, and publishing content on a weekly cadence — helping drive awareness, engagement, and brand love while learning what it takes to hold every piece to our quality bar.

Our Social Media Intern helps tell the story of Athletic in culture and in community. This role is a mix of learning and doing, giving you exposure to how a content team thinks inclusively about whose stories get told and stays ahead of culture with fresh, innovative ideas. If you are energized by spotting trends in real time, contributing ideas in the room, and turning concepts into content quickly, this is where you will thrive.

This is a hands-on learning position. Success requires integrity in how you represent the brand, the accountability to follow through on assignments and deadlines, and a proactive, coachable approach to picking up new skills and opportunities as they come.

Job Responsibilities:

• Content Creation & Storytelling

  • Concept, script, shoot, and edit short-form and mid-form video content as well as static assets using mobile and lightweight production tools.

  • Move fluidly from ideation → production → publishing — often within the same day.

  • Capture real-time brand moments, community stories, partnerships, and cultural trends.

  • Develop creative ideas that tap into real-time cultural trends, creator formats, and consumer passions.

  • Maintain brand voice, tone, and visual consistency across all platforms.

  • Collaborate with internal teams to bring brand campaigns, product launches, and key initiatives to life through social-first storytelling.

  • Assist in the production and editing of paid social video content.

  • Assist with creative productions.

• Creative Innovation & Trendspotting

  • Stay ahead of platform trends, emerging formats, and creator best practices.

  • Pitch fresh, innovative content ideas weekly to keep Athletic culturally relevant 

  • Experiment with new storytelling approaches, formats, and features to elevate brand presence.

  • Monitor comments and messages, identify opportunities for engagement, and help foster a positive and engaged community.

• Other duties, responsibilities, and activities may be changed or assigned at any time, with or without notice.

Desired Experience/ Traits

Who You Are:

• A proactive self-starter who takes ownership and consistently delivers high-quality weekly output

• A strong visual storyteller with a deep understanding of what makes audiences stop scrolling.

• Comfortable being scrappy - shooting on iPhone or lightweight tools, and editing content quickly without sacrificing quality.

• Highly organized and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.

• Energized by feedback and motivated to continuously improve your craft.

• A collaborative team player who communicates clearly and brings positive, high-integrity energy to the team. 

• Comfortable being on-camera or directing on-camera talent.
