Visual Storyteller & Community Marketing Intern

SUMMARY: As the Visual Storyteller & Community Marketing Intern, you'll sit at the intersection of design and community — creating visual assets, capturing student stories, and showing up as a genuine presence in Tallo's community spaces so our marketing team can focus on building the programs that make those moments possible.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:  

• Be a presence in the community — Engage authentically in Tallo's Interest Groups, Challenge Champions, and community spaces. Respond to students, celebrate wins, spark conversations, and surface moments worth amplifying. This is real engagement, not scripted moderation. 

• Turn community moments into visual stories – Spot compelling student stories and career milestones, then design them into shareable assets: winner spotlights, quote graphics, campaign visuals, and social-ready content. 

• Design brand and campaign assets – Create visuals in Canva (and other tools) for community challenges, campaigns, and career-education content. Maintain brand consistency across formats and channels. 

• Support video storytelling – Create and edit short-form video content that brings student stories to life. You should be comfortable on camera when the moment calls for it — whether that's demonstrating a feature, hosting a community segment, or capturing a behind-the-scenes clip. 

• Contribute to the content waterfall – Help connect community challenge cycles to polished campaign assets — from student submissions to winner content to on-demand library visuals on Tallo.com. 

• Collaborate cross-functionally – Partner with teammates across Marketing, Product, and Community — as well as our content, video, and social interns — to keep creative work cohesive and campaigns moving. 

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential duties. 

WHAT YOU NEED:    

• Minimum high school diploma (or its equivalency i.e GED) 

• Strong visual design skills — you have a genuine eye for layout, typography, color, and brand consistency 

• Experience with Canva (required); familiarity with Figma or Adobe Creative Suite is a plus 

• Ability to shoot and edit short-form video content (CapCut, iMovie, etc.) 

• Comfortable appearing on camera when needed — this role may involve hosting community moments, demos, or short clips 

• Experience engaging in online communities — whether running a Discord, managing a club's social presence, or just being deeply online in the right ways 

• Good at communicating (writing and talking) 

• Can create a Tallo account and use it 

• Ability to work 40 hours a week 

• Ability to clear a required background check. 

WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT:   

• Visually fluent — You think in images first. Your design work has personality, not just polish. 

• Genuinely social — You enjoy engaging with people online. You don't find community interaction draining — you find it energizing. 

• Storyteller instinct — You can look at a student's career challenge submission and immediately see the visual narrative worth telling. 

• Curious about AI — You've experimented with AI tools in your creative process and are excited to keep pushing. 

• Self-motivated — You take a brief and run with it. You come back with something better than expected. 

• Care about the mission — You're genuinely moved by stories of young people figuring out their futures and want to help tell them well. 

• Team player – You show up for weekly meetings and brainstorms. You stick to your commitments or actively communicate when you need help. 

WHAT YOU’LL GET:   

• Paid experience – You’ll get hands on work experience with our Social Media team, Marketing team, and others while being paid for your efforts  

• Mentorship – You'll be paired with a mentor, a manager, and have weekly team and one-on-one meetings with our early talent development leader to provide a robust support system.  

• Learning environment – You'll get the opportunity to learn on the job and learn new platforms, tools, and skills to help further your development.  

• Impactful projects – You won’t be given busy work. You’ll work on real-world business impactful projects that garner real results and contribute to our overall goals. 

• Equipment – You'll be provided with all the equipment, technology, tools, and access to make you successful, including Tallo swag and social media kits.  

• Potential extension – You'll receive the opportunity to extend your internship into the fall based on performance and business needs.
