JOB DESCRIPTION

HomeSmiles Charleston–Beaufort is a home services company serving the Charleston metro area. We provide gutter cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, pressure washing, window washing, and a range of other maintenance services for homeowners and property managers.

I'm hiring a Marketing Intern to take ownership of our social media content production. Our field team captures footage from job sites regularly, and I need someone to turn that footage into consistent, performant short-form content across Instagram, Facebook, and a new TikTok account that you would help launch and grow.

This role is a strong fit for a student or recent graduate in marketing, communications, or a related field who has hands-on experience producing short-form video and wants meaningful ownership over a small business's digital presence. The position runs through summer 2026 with potential to extend through fall.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Edit raw job-site footage into 3–5 short-form videos per week for Instagram Reels, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok
• Write captions, schedule posts, and engage with comments across platforms
• Launch and build a new TikTok account from the ground up
• Support our Google Local Services Ads: monitor incoming leads, request reviews from completed customers, and report on weekly performance
• Create supporting graphics in Canva as needed
• Occasionally visit active job sites in the Charleston area to capture additional footage

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Demonstrated experience editing short-form video in CapCut (portfolio required)
• Active, knowledgeable user of TikTok and Instagram, with an understanding of current short-form trends
• Proficiency with AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude for content drafting and ideation
• Strong written communication for captions and short-form copy
• Basic Canva skills
• Self-directed work style with minimal supervision required
• Reliable laptop, internet, and transportation
• Local to the Charleston area, with availability to meet at our Mount Pleasant office once per week

WHAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF THIS

• Real ownership of a small business's social presence, including building a brand-new TikTok from zero
• Direct working relationship with the business owner
• A measurable portfolio piece you can point to in future applications
• Flexible hours that work around a class schedule
• Potential to extend into a longer-term part-time role

Flexible work from home options available.
