Social Media Intern

Plan the Month

• Run the monthly social media calendar across every channel we are on: Instagram Facebook TikTok LinkedIn YouTube and any new ones we add.
  
• Meet stakeholders (marketing product Food Advisers retail vet partnerships) before each month to collect launches offers events and key messages and lock the calendar before the month starts.
  
• Tie the calendar to UAE moments that matter for pet parents: summer heat travel season Ramadan and Eid back to school National Day adoption drives.
  

Get the Creatives Made

• Write clear creative briefs and work with the creative team (designers videographers editors) to deliver every post on time.
  
• Track every asset from brief to approval to published and keep the team on schedule.
  
• Make sure every post is on-brand accurate and approved especially anything that makes a health or nutrition claim.
  

Publish and Grow

• Schedule and publish content across all channels adapting formats for each platform (Reels TikToks carousels Stories LinkedIn posts).
  
• Shoot and produce UGC-style videos yourself on a phone: unboxing mealtime reactions "raw vs kibble" explainers behind the scenes in our kitchen.
  
• Find and work with real Furchild customers and pet creators to produce authentic UGC.
  

Look After the Community

• Reply to comments and DMs across all channels quickly and in Furchild voice.
  
• Respond to every Google review on our Business Profile positive or negative.
