Social Media Marketing Intern

Bizcap is looking for a Social Media Marketing Intern to get out across New York City and tell the stories of the people behind its small businesses.

We want a steady stream of real business owners on camera, telling real stories. Not testimonials. Not scripted ads. Think closer to a local news segment, what the business does, what it takes to run it, what is difficult right now, and what they wish someone had told them when they started.

The goal is to create content people actually want to watch, while giving NYC small business owners a platform to share their experiences.

What you’ll do

Build and manage a pipeline of NYC small business owners to interview, including restaurants, contractors, salons, auto shops, medical practices, gyms, wholesalers, and more

Reach out to business owners directly through in person visits, DMs, emails, and calls, then manage scheduling and confirmations

Research each business and prepare thoughtful interview questions before every shoot

Film interviews and capture supporting footage, with a solid understanding of framing, audio, and lighting

Create rough cuts using Premiere, DaVinci, CapCut, or similar editing software

Organize and hand off footage with clear file naming, timestamped selects, and notes on the strongest moments and potential story angles

Track which subjects, formats, and hooks perform best and use those insights to help determine what we should shoot next

Follow NYC small business news and identify stories, trends, and conversations worth building content around

Once you’re up and running, we expect roughly one completed interview per week as a baseline, but there is plenty of room to produce more.

What we’re looking for

Currently enrolled in a journalism, film, media, communications, marketing, or related degree program, or recently graduated

Based in NYC and willing to travel across the boroughs for shoots

Comfortable approaching business owners you don’t know and convincing them to participate, persistence matters more than polish

Working editing knowledge of Premiere, DaVinci, CapCut, or similar software, with the ability to turn an interview into a watchable rough cut independently

A strong understanding of vertical video and the fundamentals of shooting, including framing, audio, and lighting

Highly organized with footage, files, schedules, and interview pipelines

Genuinely curious about business and the people behind it

Equipment
We prefer that you shoot using your own equipment or gear available to rent through your school, with Bizcap covering approved rental costs. If neither is an option, we can provide a kit. Not owning a camera will not rule you out.

Location: New York City, primarily in the field, with approximately one day per week in person with the team

Hours: Part time, approximately 16 to 24 hours per week across two or three days

Compensation: $17.00 per hour

Academic credit: Can be arranged if required by your school

Term: One semester, with the option to extend

Reports to: Marketing Director and Marketing Manager, Albania

Nice to have

Previous interviewing, reporting, or field production experience

Spanish, Mandarin, or another language widely spoken among NYC business owners
