Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Manage and grow Elephant Energy's social media channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit) - publishing consistently, engaging daily, and growing audience organically
  • Create short-form video content (Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikToks) from install footage, customer stories, and team content - using AI tools to move fast
  • Comfortable both behind and in front of the camera, including coaching team members during filming, hosting install tours, and presenting content for social media.
  • Create basic social graphics and thumbnails in Canva
  • Build repeatable content systems and templates so the team can maintain momentum beyond the internship
  • Support paid campaign performance by producing UGC and video creative (a top driver of low CPL and MQL volume)
  • Track and report monthly channel performance - social, and community engagement - tying activity back to inbound lead signals
  • Minimum 4 posts/week across channels by end of month 1; maintained or increased through month 3
  • Short-Form Video Output: At least 4–6 Reels/Shorts published per month; at least 2 pieces ready for paid creative testing by end of month 2
  • Audience / Engagement Growth: Measurable month-over-month improvement in follower count and engagement rate on Instagram and/or LinkedIn
  • Content System Deliverable: By end of month 3: documented content templates and a repeatable publishing workflow that a future team member could pick up and run
  • Organic-to-Lead Signal: Qualitative or quantitative evidence that social activity contributed to inbound MQL volume or lead inquiries (tracked in coordination with marketing/ops)

Requirements

  • Genuine interest in sustainability, electrification, or clean energy - this is non-negotiable
  • Demonstrated ability to create short-form video content (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) - links to work required in application
  • Comfort with AI content tools (Claude, Descript, Opus Clip, Canva, or similar)
  • Strong written communication skills - conversational, educational, not corporate-sounding
  • Self-starter energy: can work independently, manage their own schedule, and meet deadlines without hand-holding
  • Based in the Denver/Boulder area (or willing to travel occasionally for content capture at job sites and customer homes)

Preferred

  • Experience with Instagram, LinkedIn, and/or Reddit community management
  • Basic SEO awareness and content optimization instincts
  • Familiarity with Google Business Profile and social publishing tools
  • Previous internship, freelance, or personal brand content experience
