Boma Editorial Internship
We are currently accepting portfolio submissions for a 6 month paid internship, starting
month and ending in month. In your internship, you will support the Boma team, taking
direction from the CEO and Head of Global Partnerships, outside partners, and other
team members as needed. Tasks vary greatly depending on the end client and particular
project. The job requires one to be flexible and adaptable as projects arise, but it also
means you won’t get bored. Here are some things you could be working on:
● Writing copy for the Boma website
● Developing copy & editorial strategy for social media properties
● Creating a newsletter system
● Assisting with internal branding projects as needed
● Writing reports, proposals, and other documents
● Contributing to brainstorms and internal meetings for company narrative and
customer voice
● Keeping organized files of copy assets
● Thinking strategically to solve marketing problems, and how copy fits into that
solution
● Doing research and contributing to brainstorms with various team members as
we work to solve marketing problems
Over time, Boma editorial interns will be building up proficiency in skills that will be useful
either as a full-time editorial coordinator at Boma, or in a position at another agency or
in-house at a brand.
● The ability to respond to a client’s expectations
● Being able to adjust the editorial tone of your work to the project
● Taking existing assets and building on them, resulting in a stronger piece of
communication
● Being able to take minimal direction from team members and fill in the gaps by
suggesting creative solutions
● Coming to the table with fresh ideas and approaches to problems
● Working with all members of the team as needs arise, and flowing from project to
project with ease
Professional development, training, and support:
Ongoing
Boma is a face pace learning environment – a startup in every sense of the word. While
it’s important you take direction from other members of the team, you will be the one
driving the editorial process.
Daily/Weekly
We touch base as a team to catch up on what needs to be done that week, where
people need help, and to share any recent learnings on a daily/weekly basis.
Monthly
You will meet with the CEO monthly one-on-one to touch base on how you’re doing in
your role, where you may need more help, or other ways to maximize success. This is
not a test – we want to you to learn and grow, and to enjoy yourself in the process.
