Social Media Intern (Paid, Part-Time) | Pink Cat Studio Location: Vancouver, BC (Hybrid, 1-2 office days per week) Type: Part-time internship, ~17.5 hours/week Pay: $25.00/hour Term: Jan 4 - May 4, 2027 (possible extension to May 20, 2027) Application deadline: November 9, 2026 ABOUT US Pink Cat Studio is an educational software company that creates engaging games and classroom tools to help educators make learning more joyful, effective, and accessible for every learner. We started with a simple belief: learning should feel joyful, playful, and full of possibility, and it still shapes everything we build, from the whimsy in our products to design grounded in how children learn. We stay curious, listen to the educators and students who use our products, and aim to earn trust by doing what we say and handling educators' time and students' experiences with care. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a creative, proactive, and organized social media intern to help grow our brand presence and build our community online. You'll work closely with our marketing team to plan, create, and publish content across our channels, and you'll get a real look at how a small business builds its voice and audience from scratch. This is a great fit for a student who's active online, has a good eye for what makes content work, and wants to actually run social strategy instead of just posting on someone else's schedule. WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU You'll get real ownership over a channel and its campaigns from day one, building hands-on skills in content strategy, community management, and platform-specific tactics across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest, plus mentorship from our team on marketing strategy and small business operations. You'll see the direct impact of your work on how educators and students discover Pink Cat Studio, and walk away with a resume-ready portfolio of campaigns, content, and results.

That's okay. We care more about curiosity, follow-through, and genuine interest than a perfect checklist. If you think you'd be great at this, tell us why in your application. WHY PINK CAT STUDIO You won't be one of a hundred interns doing rotational busywork. As part of a 4-person team, your work is visible, your ideas get heard, and what you ship reaches educators and students around the world. WHO CAN APPLY Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or holder of refugee status (international students are not eligible) Enrolled at an accredited Canadian college or university, in any discipline Will remain enrolled for at least the first 30 days of the internship HOW TO APPLY Apply by November 9, 2026 at: https://forms.gle/HQ3BBWdi9PwqCYu89 You'll share your resume (max 2 pages), a one-page cover letter, and links to 2-3 pieces of content you've made (personal, school, or freelance).
