Business Insider is hiring a paid social video writing intern

Business Insider is hiring a paid video intern to write videos for social media.

The role includes researching, pitching and writing scripts for videos on a variety of business topics, including but not limited to: interesting businesses and the people who run them; luxury products and experiences; large, well-known corporations; food; finance; and travel. Recent examples include videos about how to cook the perfect rib and the Tianjin Binhai Library in China. This intern will focus on creating videos for Business Insider's social media presence.

Video-writing interns work closely with video editors, but they do not need to have video-editing experience. We're looking for ambitious reporters who can find and chase great stories and relay them to our audience in a compelling way.

We're looking for an intern with the following:

• Excellent writing skills

• A passion for storytelling

• Interest in reporting on various business topics

• Familiarity with digital and social media

• Ability to work at a fast pace

Script-writing experience helps, as does general video production experience.

This is a paid internship based out of our New York office. Interns are encouraged to work 40 hours a week, and internships run for six months.

Created for the digital generation, Business Insider is the largest business news site in the U.S. and one of the fastest-growing news brands in the world. We embrace the themes of positive change and innovation and use fast, fun, and informative storytelling to cover the business, tech, and finance news stories you need to know to work, play and live better.
