Content Creator - Intern

About the Role
Utah is one of the fastest-growing innovation economies in the country, and most of what's happening here never gets told. We’re looking for a content creator who can get out into the field, find the stories, and tell them in a way that actually lands on social media.

Job Summary
This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be at events, talking to founders, researchers, and policymakers, and turning what you find into content that builds Utah’s reputation as a place where things get built.

You’ll work directly with the Nucleus Institute CEO, who also serves as Commissioner of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED). This gives you a direct line into the state’s top innovation initiatives and priorities, and a front‑row seat to how they unfold.

Responsibilities

Attend events across the state (launches, summits, demo days, university research showcases, policy briefings) and create real‑time content

Identify emerging companies, research breakthroughs, and policy developments worth covering

Produce short‑form video, photo, and written content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X

Help shape an ongoing content calendar and pitch story ideas

Work in collaboration with the Startup State initiative and the Utah Elevated/Convergence initiative at GOED

Track engagement and adjust content strategy based on what’s working

What You Bring

A strong social media portfolio with a track record of driving real engagement (not just posting)

Comfort shooting and editing short‑form video on a phone

Curiosity about Utah’s tech, research, and policy landscape

Ability to work independently, show up to events, and turn raw moments into compelling content fast

Strong writing skills and a good eye for what makes a story worth sharing

Logistics

Flexible hours based on your availability and event schedule, up to 20 hours per week

Some evening and occasional weekend availability needed for events

Reliable transportation to attend events around the state

Minimum Qualifications

High School Diploma, or equivalency

Currently enrolled in a Utah institution of higher education

Strong analytical and research skills, with the ability to analyze complex information and present it clearly and concisely

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Proactive, self‑driven, and able to work independently as well as part of a team

Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with research databases and tools
