Comedy Content Creator Intern

Crew Dog, New York, NY, United States

Job type: Full Time


About the job

Crew Dog is a student-founded collegiate apparel brand launched at Yale in 2023. In two years we've grown to 100+ schools, building a reputation for premium, design-forward merch that actually reflects campus culture. We're not a legacy brand - we move fast, we have a voice, and we're building something real.


This summer, we have one goal: virality. We're building a content machine - mass-producing short-form video filmed across NYC that genuinely resonates with college students nationwide. You'll be one of three interns working together as a tight creative team, executing at volume and iterating fast until we find what hits.


What You'll Do

Three days a week, in-person in NYC, alongside two other content interns:


  • Mondays - Content planning, trend research, scripting hooks and concepts as a team
  • Tuesdays - Shoot day: batch filming across multiple NYC locations, capturing primary content and b-roll
  • Wednesdays -Edit, post, and review performance together - what landed, what didn't, and why


This is a high-output role. You're not making one polished video a week - you're helping build a content pipeline that keeps Crew Dog showing up everywhere, all summer.


This is a PAID role.


Who We're Looking For

We need someone who is genuinely funny - not "I can be funny" funny, but someone with a real comedy background. That means:


  • Lead comedy scriptwriting - You can write a bit, build a premise, and make it land in 15 seconds
  • Humor in scripted speech - You know timing, you know how to write a line that hits out loud
  • Live, unscripted street interviews - You're comfortable walking up to strangers on a NYC sidewalk, improvising on the fly, and making it watchable. You don't freeze. You riff.
  • Improv / stand-up / sketch background - UCB, college comedy groups, open mics, a sketch channel, whatever it is — show us


Beyond comedy, you should also have:

  • Experience making short-form content (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts) - with an audience or results to show for it
  • Strong editing skills: hooks, pacing, retention
  • Fast turnaround ability - shoot it Tuesday, post it Wednesday
  • A collaborative mindset - you're working as part of a three-person team, not solo
  • Genuine interest in college culture, fashion, and campus identity
  • Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program


To Apply, Send:

  • Your resume
  • A short note covering: Links or examples of content you've made
  • How you'd approach content for Crew Dog specifically
  • Any comedy work - a clip, a channel, a sketch, a bit you wrote, anything that shows us you're
