Social Media Editor Internship @ Viral Neurotech Startup!
Hatch
This is a Social Media Editor Internship role with Neurode based in Sydney, NSW, AU
We’re Neurode, a leading neurotech startup in Sydney building a headband that helps you unlock focus on command – especially for people with ADHD.
We’ve gone viral on Twitter, pulled in 13,000+ sign-ups to our waitlist, and now we’re ramping up our shortform content game to keep the momentum going.
This is a chance to be the creative force behind content for a startup that’s already gone viral once and now turn it repeatable, shaping the brand’s visual voice from the ground up and building a portfolio that could define your career.
The role
We’re looking for a creative, fast, and detail-obsessed video editor to join us for a 3-month paid internship. You’ll take our filmed content (product videos, TikToks, Reels, behind-the-scenes) and bring it to life with punchy, engaging edits that grab attention and keep people watching.
We’ll handle scripting and filming – your job is to make the edit excellent.
Here are examples of editing styles we like – and the style that we want to emulate: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
You’ll be working directly with Nathalie, neuroscientist and Neurode cofounder, and Polina, who runs product & growth.
Details
- 3-month paid internship – 2 days a week in our Paddington office
- Chance to grow into a permanent creative role as we scale
