Social Media Growth Intern

About DTC Experts

DTC Experts is a fast-growing events and media startup that connects founders and executives from leading brands through large-scale events in NYC, LA, and Las Vegas.

Founded by a Dartmouth graduate and former private equity investor at Goldman Sachs, DTC Experts has raised over $1 million in seed capital to expand into new industries and create the next generation of large-scale event experiences. We're building something ambitious — combining technology, community, and creativity to shape how the world's most influential industries connect and grow.

Role Overview

We're hiring a Social Media Growth Intern to own and grow our social presence ahead of a major event launch. This is not a scheduling-posts role. We want someone who lives on social media, instinctively understands what makes content spread, and has the strategic brain of a growth marketer.

You'll have full ownership of our LinkedIn and Twitter/X accounts — building our audience from the ground up, crafting content that resonates with founders and executives, and turning our event launch into a social moment people talk about. If you've grown an account before, know what a hook looks like, and get genuinely excited by engagement metrics — we want to hear from you.

What You'll Work On

Account Growth & Strategy

• Own DTC Experts' LinkedIn and Twitter/X accounts end-to-end
• Develop and execute a growth strategy to build our audience ahead of the event launch
• Identify content formats, posting cadences, and engagement tactics that drive follower growth
• Study what's working in adjacent spaces and bring those insights into our content strategy

Content Creation & Virality

• Write and publish content that captures attention — hooks, threads, carousels, short-form posts
• Tap into cultural moments, trends, and conversations that are relevant to our audience
• Experiment constantly: test different formats, angles, and styles to find what hits
• Turn event news, speaker announcements, and industry trends into shareable content

Community & Engagement

• Actively engage with followers, industry accounts, and relevant conversations
• Build relationships with key voices in our target communities
• Respond to comments, DMs, and mentions to grow an active, engaged following

Analytics & Optimization

• Track performance metrics and report on growth, reach, and engagement weekly
• Use data to iterate on what's working and cut what isn't
• Bring a growth marketer's mindset to everything — always asking how to do more with less

Minimum Requirements

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program (all majors welcome)
• Demonstrable experience growing a social media account — personal, brand, or otherwise
• Deep familiarity with LinkedIn and Twitter/X as platforms
• Strong writing skills — you can write a post that stops the scroll
• Culturally plugged in and aware of what's trending before it's mainstream
• Self-directed and comfortable with full ownership and accountability
• Bonus: experience with social analytics tools, paid amplification, or creator networks

Additional Details

Location: Remote (U.S.-based)

Commitment: ~15–20 hours/week during the semester

Compensation: Paid internship (hourly or project-based depending on schedule)

Why Join Us

You'll have real ownership over social accounts that matter — not busy work. You'll work directly with the founder and have a front-row seat to how a startup launches a major event from scratch. If you grow our accounts and the content lands, that's a portfolio piece you can point to forever. This is an opportunity to build something real, fast.
