Social Media Intern (Unpaid Internship)

About Upcar

Upcar.ai is building the world's first peer-to-peer monthly car subscription marketplace, starting with students and young professionals. We're reimagining car access for a generation that values flexibility, affordability, and freedom. Not buy. Not rent. Subscribe.

Role Overview

We're looking for a creative, motivated Social Media Intern to help grow Upcar's presence across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X (Twitter). This is a great opportunity for someone who wants hands-on startup experience, real ownership, and content that actually goes live (not just mock projects).

What You'll Do

• Create and post engaging content (Reels, Shorts, TikToks, posts, stories)
• Help manage and grow Upcar's social media accounts
• Brainstorm viral content ideas around cars, students, startups, and subscriptions
• Assist with basic video editing and caption writing
• Track engagement and suggest improvements
• Stay on top of social media trends and platform best practices

What We're Looking For

• Current student or recent graduate (marketing, communications, media, or related fields preferred—but not required)
• Active user of Instagram, TikTok, and/or YouTube
• Strong interest in startups, tech, cars, or creator culture
• Comfortable being creative and experimenting with content
• Basic video editing skills (CapCut, Canva, iMovie, or similar is a plus)
• Self-starter who can work independently

What You'll Gain

• Real startup experience with a fast-growing company
• A strong portfolio of published social media content
• Direct exposure to founders and startup decision-making
• Letter of recommendation upon successful completion
• Networking opportunities in tech, mobility, and startups
• Potential for a paid role or long-term opportunity as the company grows

Compensation

This is an unpaid internship, but we aim to make it high-value:

• Flexible hours
• Meaningful work (no busywork)
• Resume + portfolio building
• Real impact and visibility
