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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
