Social Media and Growth Marketing Summer Intern (Summer / Fall 2026)
About RoamRecs
RoamRecs is an early-stage, pre-seed funded startup, building the future of travel discovery. Today, the best recommendations live across TikTok, Instagram, and group chats - and get lost when you actually need them. RoamRecs turns that scattered content into organized, shareable collections, while creating a new platform for creators to showcase and monetize their recommendations.
We launched in early 2026 and already have ~3,000 users through purely organic means with zero marketing spend.
About the Role
We’re looking for a highly motivated college student to work directly with the founders.
This is not a traditional internship. You’ll be working across growth, content, and product - helping us scale a consumer platform at the intersection of social media, travel, and creator monetization.
If you’re someone who loves startups, TikTok/Instagram content, and wants real ownership (not busy work), then this is for you!
What You’ll Do
Growth & Marketing
- Help drive user growth across Instagram, TikTok, and emerging channels
- Research and identify high-performing content trends (what people are saving, sharing, and engaging with)
- Test new growth ideas (content formats, outreach strategies, partnerships) and iterate quickly
- Analyze what’s working vs. not and help refine our strategy
Creator Partnerships
- Identify and source high-quality creators (TikTok / Instagram / travel niches)
- Conduct outreach and onboard creators onto RoamRecs
- Help build and refine our creator acquisition playbook
- Work directly with early creators to shape how they use the platform
Product & Strategy
- Work directly with the founders on new ideas, features, and experiments
- Provide feedback on product, UX, and overall user experience
- Help test new features and identify bugs or friction points
- Contribute to early-stage strategy as we scale
Who We’re Looking For
- Current college student (freshman–junior preferred)
- Strong interest in startups, social media, or travel
- Extremely proactive - you don’t wait to be told what to do
- Creative and plugged into TikTok / Instagram trends
- Organized and detail-oriented
- Time commitment is 30 - 40 hours / week during your summer break
What You'll Get
- Work directly with the founders (high exposure, real mentorship). Both founders are former investment bankers and interim executives (CFO & CRO) of middle market companies
- Real ownership and impact — your work will actually be used
- Hands-on experience building a startup from the ground up
- Opportunity to work with creators and grow a consumer platform
- Strong resume experience + references
- $1K / month stipend
- Potential for full-time role and equity upon graduation
