About the Role

At Twitch, we’re always looking for high-potential talent. If you’re a current student at a North American college or university interested in social media, we’d love to see you apply. See below for just a few reasons why our cohort-based internship program is one-of-a kind. 

Twitch’s social media channels are a reflection of our vibrant brand, colorful creators and communities, and unique sense of humor. They’re one of the main ways we keep our communities informed on what we’re building and what’s happening at and on Twitch. They’re also essential to ensure we understand what our community is talking about and what matters to them. As a Senior Media Intern, you will assist on Twitch’s community engagement approach across our owned channels. You will be part of a small team that works with nearly every department at Twitch and will help coordinate calendar management with our agency partners. You’ll work with the team to develop plans to achieve established goals, and improve processes to ensure our content pipeline with cross functional partners is strong and fluid. The Social Media Intern will report into the Head of Global Social Media and will work from the San Francisco Twitch office.

Project-Based Learning at Scale: Twitch operates at a massive scale, requiring us to push the boundaries of technology and experiment with techniques used by only the largest websites. As an intern, you’ll have the opportunity to work on some of the most challenging social media problems in the industry, making every project a valuable learning experience. 

Comprehensive Support Team: To ensure our interns thrive, we provide a dedicated support system, including a Manager, Mentor, and Early Careers Advisor. This team will work closely with you to guide your project from start to finish and ensure you have the resources needed to succeed.

Enriched Intern Community: In addition to hands-on social media responsibilities, you will participate in leadership and interpersonal development curriculum, as well as gain valuable industry insights from Twitch leaders through fireside chats. We offer a variety of enrichment activities, including cohort trips, weekly advisory sessions, and local community events. We also provide housing assistance to make your summer internship as rewarding and enjoyable as possible.
