About the Role
ResQBag is a pre-launch food-tech startup on a mission to reduce food waste by connecting surplus food from restaurants and vendors with consumers. As a Founder's Office Social Media Intern, you'll work directly with the founding team to build and scale ResQBag's presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, and other platforms during a critical pre-launch phase. This isn't a siloed content role — sitting in the Founder's Office means you'll get visibility into brand strategy, growth decisions, and the reasoning behind every campaign, while owning the day-to-day execution of our social media presence. Success in this role looks like a consistent, growing, and community-engaged social presence that's ready to support ResQBag's public launch.

- Monitor and respond to comments, DMs, and community engagement in a timely, on-brand manner
- Track platform performance (reach, engagement, follower growth) and share weekly insights with the founding team
- Collaborate directly with founders to translate brand vision and founder POV into scroll-stopping content
- Stay current on social media trends and platform best practices, and proactively suggest new content formats or campaigns
- Attend weekly team syncs to align on priorities and report progress
Required Qualifications
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree (any stream); students of Marketing, Mass Communication, or related fields preferred but not mandatory
