Job Description

We encourage candidates to apply for no more than three internship opportunities within a 90-day period. Our recruiting team will review your application and ensure you are considered for the opportunities that best align with your skills and interests.

Every tweet, post and story has the power to bring communities together and move ideas forward. And this summer, you could have the chance to gain real-world experience in the world of social media, all while getting exposure to company leaders and working alongside a friendly team.  

We’re on the lookout for a Social Media Intern to join Cox’s brand marketing team. This role goes beyond creating posts (though there’ll be plenty of that!). You’ll dive into social trends, engage with our audience and experiment with content across various platforms. This paid internship is a full-time hybrid position with a mix of remote and in-person work at our Atlanta HQ.

Hands-on experience in social media strategy and the opportunity to unleash your creativity in a supportive environment. The opportunity to meet and network with company leaders.  A portfolio of digital content you’ve created by the end of summer.
