Social Media Associate

Authentic Ego | Remote | Part-Time (10 hrs/week) | June 1 – September 1, 2026

The Opportunity

We are looking for a social media associate who can actually make things: cut reels, build carousels, schedule posts, write captions, and own the day-to-day execution of our content calendar across Instagram and TikTok.

This is not a strategy role. It is not analytics. It is not "social media management" in the abstract. It is the hands-on creative work of taking a science-first acne brand and turning it into content that performs in the feed.

You will work directly with the founder. Your work will go live to a real audience that is currently growing. Strong performance during the internship will lead to an offer to convert into a regular paid role at increased hours.

The Brand

Authentic Ego makes acne-safe, science-first skincare for adult women with acne-prone, hormonally-driven, and barrier-compromised skin. The brand has scaled in revenue on organic growth alone with no paid media, no PR, and no influencer budget. Founded by Christina Brooks-Potts, a soon-to-be Cosmetic Chemist whose background spans pharmacogenomics, Fortune 100 pharma consulting, and beauty retail.

We are not another acne brand and we are not chasing trends. The science is the story, and your job is to make it scroll-stopping.

What You'll Do

— Cut, caption, and schedule reels and TikToks

— Build carousels and educational graphics for Instagram

— Maintain the content calendar across platforms

— Edit and repurpose long-form founder content into short-form

— Stay on top of trending audio, formats, and platform shifts

— Assist with organic creator sourcing, and creator briefs

Who You Are

You live in the apps, not in decks. You can open CapCut or Premiere and have a polished reel done in an afternoon. 

You are obsessive about details: the right cut, the right beat, the right caption. You don't need to be told what's trending; you already know.

You want to learn what it actually takes to build a brand from the inside, not study it from a textbook.

The Details

— $22/hour, 10 hours/week

— Three-month internship: June 1 – September 1, 2026

— Fully remote, flexible scheduling around school or other commitments

— Path to convert to an ongoing paid role at increased hours upon strong performance

To Apply

No resume or cover letter required. Show us what you make!!
