Internship Familysearch Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description
Do you love digging into data, moving fast, and helping great content reach the right people? We're looking for a sharp, driven Social Media Intern to join FamilySearch's global social team. This is a working internship where you'll be contributing to real projects from day one alongside a small, fast-moving team that manages millions of followers across social platforms worldwide. The work matters here. FamilySearch exists to help people discover and connect with their family-and the social team plays a real role in making that happen. You'll build skills that prepare you for a career in experience design, social media, or digital marketing and you'll have the work to show for it.

What You'll Do

• Support YouTube optimization efforts including SEO, metadata, thumbnails, Tube Buddy, and multi-language strategy to help more people find us on the world's second-largest search engine
• Dig into analytics regularly and present clear, data-backed findings and recommendations to the team, including building PowerPoint decks that communicate the story behind the numbers
• Help map and improve the user journey across our social channels, thinking about how our audiences discover us, engage with us, and take action

• The chance to work with social teams across the world and see your contributions show up globally
• Mentorship and coaching from a seasoned team of communications and marketing professionals
• Work that connects to something bigger than a content calendar
• A team that's genuinely collaborative and wants to see you grow
• Competitive pay, full-time, with possibility of extending up to 12 months
