Social/Editorial Intern

We’re honored to present an incredible opportunity to be a part of the very exciting and completely pointless publication known as San Francisco Currently, a new (fake) newspaper from the creator of Marin Lately. For more background, look us up in the New York Times or in the The San Francisco Standard itself.

We’re looking for a paid intern primarily to execute our bizarre but compelling ideas for our site and social media. This person should be extremely adept at editing and creating social content and digital assets and completely fluent in the word of memes, etc. – with an ability to create custom images and videos being a major plus. Finally, this person (you?) will also work on the publishing side, doing anything and everything needed to bring Marin Lately/San Francisco Currently stories into the world.

What you’ll do:

• Create and share memes, videos and other original work on social media
• Collaborate with the creator of SF Currently to devise and execute new creative ideas
• Do research, find images and help out with anything else necessary on the publishing side
• Build up a portfolio of examples of your work in the humor space to go conquer the world with

This is a creative role for someone who wants to make things, with other duties being important but secondary.

Previous experience is welcome but not required as long as you are able to show some examples of things you’ve made (social slips, videos and other applicable creative work).

This is a remote position, though you must be based locally and able to come and collaborate in person in The San Francisco Standard’s San Francisco based office. This internship pays $25 per hour, and is part-time with a minimum of 10 hours per week with potential to expand to 40 hours per week. To apply for this position, please submit your resume along with 5 relevant work samples (stuff you’ve made for social, or accounts you run, etc.), a quick cover letter and contact information for at least two references. Your cover letter should also detail when you are available to start working, and what days and times you are regularly available for work.
