Creative + Content Fellow

The Creative + Content Fellow will help build the system Dishcourse uses to turn its ideas, conversations, live experiences, and community into compelling media.

This is a hands-on role inside an early-stage company. Rather than simply completing assigned social media tasks, you’ll help develop, test, and document a repeatable Dishcourse Content Engine.

Expected Responsibilities

You will work directly with the founder and collaborate with the Growth and Operations Fellows to:

Develop and produce social and editorial content across Dishcourse channels

Capture content at live Dishcourse experiences, including photography, short-form video, participant insights, interviews, quotes, and event atmosphere

Develop recurring short-form video concepts for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and similar platforms

Translate Dishcourse conversations and cultural themes into compelling questions, provocations, insights, graphics, and other social content

Help develop creative campaigns for upcoming events, experiences, and membership

Maintain a consistent content calendar and production workflow

Organize photography, video, templates, graphics, and other creative assets

Test different hooks, formats, visual approaches, topics, and calls to action

Collaborate with the Growth Fellow to understand which content drives meaningful audience behavior

Track performance including shares, saves, profile visits, website traffic, email sign-ups, event interest, and purchases

Document successful formats and workflows so they can be repeated by future team members

By the end of the fellowship, you will help create Dishcourse Content Engine v1: a documented system of repeatable content formats, workflows, creative assets, performance insights, and tools Dishcourse can continue using after the fellowship.

Minimum Requirements

Applicants should:

Be currently enrolled in a college or university program

Be able to commit approximately 5–10 hours per week for 12–16 weeks during Spring 2027

Have demonstrated interest in content creation, communications, marketing, media, design, storytelling, journalism, photography, video, branding, or a related area

Have experience creating content for social or digital platforms through coursework, student organizations, personal projects, freelance work, employment, or other creative projects

Be comfortable writing and communicating clearly

Be able to manage projects and deadlines with limited day-to-day supervision

Be comfortable working in an early-stage environment where processes may still be developing

Be willing to receive feedback, experiment, iterate, and revise creative work

Be able to collaborate while also taking independent ownership of assigned projects

No specific major is required.

Skills We're Looking For

Strong candidates will demonstrate several of the following:

Visual storytelling

Short-form video creation and editing

Photography and/or event content capture

Social media content creation

Copywriting and editorial storytelling

Creative concept development

Basic graphic design and visual composition

Content planning and organization

Strong cultural awareness and curiosity

Ability to identify compelling stories, moments, and ideas

Creative problem-solving

Attention to detail

Initiative and resourcefulness

Ability to interpret basic content-performance data

Experience with tools such as Canva, CapCut, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or similar creative platforms is helpful but not required. We care more about creative judgment, curiosity, resourcefulness, and demonstrated potential than mastery of a particular software package.

What You'll Build

During the fellowship, you'll work toward creating:

5–7 repeatable Dishcourse content formats

A standardized event content-capture system

2–3 recurring short-form video formats

A creative campaign toolkit

A content calendar and production workflow

An organized media and creative asset library

A creative experiment library

A content-performance dashboard

A documented Content Playbook

What You'll Gain

This fellowship is designed around ownership rather than observation.

You'll gain experience working directly with the founder of an early-stage company, producing work that is actually published and tested, participating in real business decisions, analyzing the results of your work, and building a portfolio of creative work tied to measurable outcomes.
