Social Media Intern
Le Chocolat des Îles (LCDI) — Social Media & UGC Intern (TikTok + Instagram)
Position: Paid Intern (Part-Time or Full-Time)
Location: NYC preferred (Hybrid OK)
Duration: 8–12 weeks (extendable)
Start: ASAP
Compensation: Paid (hourly or monthly stipend based on experience)
About Le Chocolat des Îles
Le Chocolat des Îles (LCDI) is a premium, two-ingredient bean-to-bar dark chocolate brand. We select cocoa beans for taste first, then make the chocolate in-house — resulting in dramatically superior flavor compared to mass-market “premium” dark chocolate made from bulk processed cocoa.
We are launching an aggressive TikTok-first + Instagram Reels growth program designed to generate:
Viral awareness
Website sales
Store demand-pull (“Where can I buy this?”)
Role Overview
You will help run LCDI’s TikTok + Instagram execution program — publishing content daily, managing creators, tracking performance, and turning what works into repeatable growth.
This is not a “pretty posts” internship.
It’s growth + content testing — fast, structured, measurable.
Key Responsibilities
1) Daily TikTok + Instagram Execution
Upload and publish content to TikTok + Instagram Reels (daily)
Post with correct captions, hooks, hashtags, thumbnails
Ensure each post follows LCDI brand rules (navy/gold, correct URL/CTA)
Respond to comments daily (to drive engagement + boost reach)
Pin top comments and provoke replies strategically
2) UGC Creator Management (Fiverr + Micro-Creators)
Coordinate with Fiverr UGC creators and freelancers
Send briefs, follow up, collect drafts, request revisions
Ensure content matches LCDI talking points:
“Two ingredients only”
“Beans selected for taste”
“Most chocolate is bulk cocoa in disguise”
Maintain a creator tracker sheet (deliverables, deadlines, status)
3) Content System + Organization
Maintain organized content library:
Raw videos
Edited versions
Captions + overlays
Performance results
Label assets by format, hook type, and angle (taste / purity / ingredients / comparison)
4) Performance Tracking + Weekly Reporting
Track key metrics weekly:
Views, watch time, completion rate
Saves, shares, comments
Profile visits
Website clicks
Conversion indicators
Produce 1-page weekly report:
Top 5 performing posts
What hook/format worked
What to repeat next week
What failed + why
5) On-Camera (Optional but Strongly Preferred)
If you are comfortable:
Film simple iPhone UGC-style clips in a kitchen / countertop setting
Do taste reactions, unboxings, ingredient flips, “dark chocolate truth” clips
Record short voiceovers / commentary (even faceless is OK)
Requirements
Heavy TikTok + Instagram user (you understand what goes viral)
Strong writing for hooks & captions (fast, punchy)
Extremely organized and reliable (posting daily = non-negotiable)
Comfortable managing freelancers / creators
Familiarity with CapCut preferred (or willingness to learn)
Bonus Skills (Not Required)
Video editing (CapCut / Premiere)
Canva design
Influencer outreach / DMs
Ecommerce awareness (Shopify/WooCommerce)
Interest in premium food / wellness products
What Success Looks Like (Very Clear Targets)
By week 8:
2 posts/day consistently (TikTok + IG Reels)

Weekly growth report delivered on time
Documented learnings: what angles/hook styles consistently outperform
