About Sweeter Collective
Sweeter Collective is a fast-growing startup that launched in 2025 and is quickly gaining momentum in the better-for-you snacking space. Our first product, Sweeter Pops, reimagines classic hard candies with organic ingredients, nostalgic flavors, and a long-lasting experience.
We’re not just creating sweeter snacks—we’re building a community. As demand grows, we’re looking for an extra set of hands to help us connect, engage, and grow across social media. This role offers a front-row seat to how a rising brand is built, working directly alongside the Founder and Creative Director.
The Role

You'll concept, create, film, design, and post social-first content across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads/X, and YouTube Shorts.
This is a high-impact, creative internship where you’ll see your work shape the identity and momentum of a growing brand.

- Film and edit short-form video content of the Founder Creative Director (CapCut, TikTok Editor, Adobe Premiere, etc.).
- Design social-first graphics, carousels, Pins, and Stories (Canva and Adobe Creative Suite).
- Research social trends, pitch fresh ideas, and keep Sweeter Collective culturally relevant.

- Support authentic community engagement through comments, DMs, and trend participation.
Qualifications
- Passion for social media (especially TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest) and current trends.
- Graphic design skills (Canva required; Adobe Creative Suite is a plus).

- Comfortable filming, directing, and/or appearing in content.
- 18+ years old and/or currently enrolled in college.
- Reliable transportation for local travel.
- Strong communication, creativity, and organizational skills.
- Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and bring ideas to life.
