Social Media & Content Creator Intern (CEO Brand)

ABOUT GESTURE
Gesture is an AI-driven connection company redefining how people and brands engage through tangibility. We merge technology, data, and emotion to create meaningful, real-world experiences, not just transactions. From our consumer app that lets anyone send something special without needing an address, to Gesture Reach360, our tangible marketing platform that puts real products directly into the hands of ideal customers, we're turning digital impressions into physical connections that drive real action. Gesture isn't another gifting or marketing company, we're building the world's most powerful Connection Engine, where every product sent, received, or experienced deepens relationships and delivers measurable impact.

Inside our NYC headquarters, you'll find an environment that moves with the pace and precision of Silicon Valley but with the heart of something far greater. We run on cutting-edge tools, creative experimentation, and raw ambition.

ROLE SUMMARY
Gesture is looking for a Social Media & Content Creator Intern to build our CEO's personal brand from the ground up, across every platform that matters: Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and podcasting. This is not a role for someone who wants to post polished snapshots and call it a day. We want short, quick, personality-driven content: think rapid-fire interview formats like Vogue's 73 Questions, candid behind-the-scenes moments, and posts that sound like a real person, not a press release.

You'll work directly with the CEO and the marketing team to capture, produce, and publish content that grows his following and, by extension, Gesture's visibility and credibility in the market. This role treats CEO branding as a real discipline, spanning video, written content, design, and audio, not just an Instagram side project. If you can turn five unscripted minutes with a busy executive into content people actually want to watch, this role is for you.

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT
Let's be clear:

This is not a one-platform role; you're expected to build presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and podcasting, not just pick your favorite

This is not a role where you post existing marketing content unchanged; everything is built specifically for the CEO's voice and personal brand

This is not a passive scheduling job; you're expected to originate ideas, not just execute a calendar someone else built

This is not a role for someone uncomfortable directing an executive on camera or pushing back on content that won't land

RESPONSIBILITIES
Content Creation & Production

Plan, film, and edit short-form video content for the CEO's Instagram Reels, X, and Facebook

Develop and produce rapid-fire, personality-driven interview content in the style of Vogue's 73 Questions, capturing the CEO's perspective, personality, and day-to-day

Write and publish LinkedIn and X posts in the CEO's voice, translating his ideas, wins, and insights into engaging written content

Support planning and production of podcast-style long-form content, including episode concepts, interview questions, and edited clips for social distribution

Design supporting graphics, thumbnails, and branded visual assets for posts and podcast content

Maintain a consistent content calendar across all platforms

Personal Brand & Growth Strategy

Partner directly with the CEO to identify stories, moments, and talking points worth capturing

Study what's working in founder and CEO personal branding across every platform, and adapt formats for Gesture's voice

Track engagement and use performance data to refine format, timing, and topics platform by platform

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Coordinate with the marketing team to keep CEO content aligned with overall brand voice and campaigns

Capture behind-the-scenes moments from meetings, travel, and company milestones as they happen

DESIRED SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Communications, Film, Media, Design, or a related field

Demonstrated experience across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and podcasting is required, not just familiarity with one or two platforms

A portfolio or samples of short-form video content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) is required

Design skills required: comfortable creating graphics, thumbnails, and branded visual assets in tools like Canva, Adobe Photoshop, or Illustrator

Comfortable filming and directing on the fly, including in unscripted, in-the-moment settings

Strong writing skills for LinkedIn, X, and other long-form and short-form social copy

Familiarity with editing tools such as CapCut, Premiere Rush, Adobe Suite, or similar

Understanding of platform-specific algorithms and content best practices across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and Facebook

Comfortable working directly and closely with executive leadership

Highly organized, able to manage a content calendar independently across multiple platforms

Available to work onsite at our NYC headquarters

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Direct, hands‑on experience building a CEO's personal brand from the ground up, across every major platform

How to develop a cross‑platform content strategy, and why what works on Instagram doesn't always work on X, LinkedIn, or podcast audio

Real design and visual branding skills, building assets that reinforce a consistent personal brand at scale

Podcasting fundamentals, from episode concepting to editing long‑form content into distributable social clips

A portfolio of produced content across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and podcasting

Mentorship from marketing leadership and direct access to executive decision‑making around brand and voice

Real exposure to executive‑level content strategy and brand building

Networking opportunities within a dynamic, fast‑moving tech company

HOW YOU OPERATE

Creative & Resourceful: you can turn a few unscripted minutes into content worth watching

Platform‑Fluent: you naturally think in formats, knowing a LinkedIn post, an X thread, a Reel, and a podcast clip all need different treatment

Comfortable Behind and In Front of the Camera: directing shots and, when needed, appearing on camera yourself

Detail‑Oriented Storyteller: strong instinct for pacing, hooks, design, and what makes people stop scrolling

Proactive and Self‑Motivated: comfortable chasing down moments and content on your own initiative

Collaborative: open to feedback from the CEO and marketing team, and quick to iterate

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

Reliable & Professional: comfortable representing the CEO and Gesture's brand publicly with good judgment

Adaptable: able to shift tone and format quickly across different platforms and content types in the same day

Curious: genuinely interested in what makes content work, not just following a template

Resilient: comfortable with feedback and reshoots, since getting the CEO's voice right takes iteration

Team‑Oriented: works well with marketing, and respects the CEO's time and availability

WHO SHOULD NOT APPLY

You only want to work in one platform or format and aren't interested in learning the others

You're uncomfortable directing or giving feedback to an executive on camera

You want a content calendar handed to you rather than originating your own ideas

You don't have design skills or samples to show, and aren't interested in building them

BENEFITS

Compensation: competitive stipend

Professional development: support for ongoing learning and career growth

Work environment: positive, friendly, and collaborative atmosphere

Free Gestures for friends and family

Stipend: $800 to $1,600 per month, based on skill level

Contract Length: 6 months
