Content Design Strategy Intern - Spring 2026 at Paravane Ventures

We're looking for a Content Design Strategy Intern to make our brands impossible to ignore. This role is the engine behind our content strategy—you'll create compelling video and social content that drives sign-ups, engages partners, and builds brands. We are looking for an intern who can start ASAP for a paid, remote part time internship experience. We will be interviewing candidates on a rolling basis. You’ll own our content pipeline end-to-end: capturing stories, editing high-impact videos, managing our social presence, and directly contributing to our growth. The ideal candidate is a creative storyteller who loves making short-form video, understands platform optimization, and thrives in fast-paced environments. You’re scrappy, organized, and deeply comfortable turning raw footage into content that moves people to action. In addition to your resume, please submit a doc with URLs to some content you have created which you are proud of it. It doesn’t have to be business related or professional content. Edited public Tiktoks, Reels, or YouTube videos you have created are great! If you have a meaningfully sized personal following on any social media platform, please be sure to highlight that and link to it. Who You Are You're a visual storyteller. You see a 30-minute interview and immediately know which 60 seconds will make people stop scrolling. You understand pacing, emotion, and the hook. You’ve made content that people actually watch. You're platform-native. You don't just post content—you understand why certain videos blow up on TikTok but die on LinkedIn. You know the difference between engagement bait and authentic storytelling. You stay ahead of trends without chasing every one. You're scrappy and autonomous. You don't wait for perfect conditions. If you need footage, you figure out how to get it. If something isn't working, you try something else. You're resourceful, low-maintenance, and comfortable with ambiguity. You work hard. You show up, do what needs to get done—no ego, no excuses. The team puts in long hours because we care about the mission and each other. If that sounds miserable, this isn't for you. If it sounds exciting, you'll fit right in. You love learning. You tinker with new tools. You're always rethinking how you work so you can keep leveling up. Nobody needs to tell you to improve your game. You're a clear communicator. You value precision, clarity, and brevity. You understand that good communication reduces confusion and keeps everyone aligned.
