Social Media Intern

Plan the Month Run the monthly social media calendar across every channel we are on: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and any new ones we add. Meet stakeholders (marketing, product, Food Advisers, retail, vet partnerships) before each month to collect launches, offers, events and key messages, and lock the calendar before the month starts. Tie the calendar to UAE moments that matter for pet parents: summer heat, travel season, Ramadan and Eid, back to school, National Day, adoption drives. Get the Creatives Made Write clear creative briefs and work with the creative team (designers, videographers, editors) to deliver every post on time. Track every asset from brief to approval to published and keep the team on schedule. Make sure every post is on-brand, accurate and approved, especially anything that makes a health or nutrition claim. Publish and Grow Schedule and publish content across all channels, adapting formats for each platform (Reels, TikToks, carousels, Stories, LinkedIn posts). Shoot and produce UGC-style videos yourself on a phone: unboxing, mealtime reactions, "raw vs kibble" explainers, behind the scenes in our kitchen. Find and work with real Furchild customers and pet creators to produce authentic UGC. Look After the Community Reply to comments and DMs across all channels, quickly and in Furchild voice. Respond to every Google review on our Business Profile, positive or negative. Route sales enquiries to the Food Adviser team and service issues to customer care, so no lead or complaint is left sitting in an inbox. Research and Report Track what competitors and other pet brands (in the UAE and globally) are doing organically, and share what is working. Spot trending audios, formats and topics early, and pitch how Furchild can join in within days, not weeks. Report monthly on what we posted, what performed, and what we will change next month. Requirements A recent graduate or final year student in Marketing, Media, Communications or any related field. You live on social media and can explain why a post worked, not just that it did. Comfortable on camera and behind it. You can shoot and edit a short video on your phone (CapCut, InShot or similar). Excellent written English. Arabic is a strong plus. Organised enough to run a calendar with many moving parts and many stakeholders. Confident enough to chase people for deadlines, politely. Basic Canva skills. Familiarity with Meta Business Suite or a scheduling tool is a plus. A love of animals. Even better if you are a pet parent yourself. Benefits Monthly stipend. Real ownership of a brand's social channels from week one, not just coffee runs. Hands-on experience across content, community, UGC and creative production. A front-row seat to how a profitable, independent D2C brand grows in the UAE. Mentorship from the growth team and exposure to how social links to sales. Opportunity to convert into a full-time position based on internship performance.
