The Business Challenge
Through the growth of our business product, we are building a community of like-minded, climate-conscious leaders who are all keen to do what they can to improve the sustainability of their business and connect with others who are doing the same. 

Our customers are looking for ways to make the most out of their trace membership, which includes consistently talking about their positive impact in public communications and connecting with others in the Trace community to learn and collaborate. Facilitating both of these things is core to Trace delivering an awesome customer experience and ultimately, ensuring we retain customers for the long term. 

As our customer base grows, our efforts to nurture and guide individual customers, as well as facilitate a sense of community, is becoming more challenging and requires both dedicate resources and a more scalable approach for us to use moving forward.

The Task

Our Community & Social Media Intern will lead a project to develop and launch our online community platform and experience for trace business customers. They will also help amplify our customers and foster our broader network via our Linkedin activity. The aim is that these two platforms work together to amplify the conversation about trace and engagement with our product.

By the end of the project we want to have:
- Our new online community platform up and running.
- All trace business customers invited to the online community and beginning to engage on a weekly basis (aiming for 50% uptake).
- A repeatable strategy/ process for maintaining engagement with the online community.

Project responsibilities include:

- Developing engaging content, aligned to our content strategy, for use on the online community and Trace Linkedin.
- Monitoring and responding to engagement with the online community and Trace Linkedin.

Logistics
The ideal time commitment is 3 days per week on any weekday, pre-agreed the week before. The team operates on a digital-first approach and are usually online during standard business hours (i.e. between 8:30 - 5:30 pm AEST).  If you are based in Sydney or Adelaide, you may have the opportunity to occasionally meet up with the team in person. We are most focused on output over hours and ensuring we maintain open lines of communication about our availability.

We have a BYOD (bring your own devices) policy, meaning you will need access to your own computer, phone and any other equipment you intend to use in the course of your internship.

This is an unpaid internship best suited to a final year university student completing a relevant degree (i.e. Marketing/ Communications/ Business), and can be customised (within reason) to accommodate requirements for your work to be recognised for credit towards your degree. For this reason, the length of your internship is open for discussion, however we expect it to last a period of at least 8 weeks.

About You
We are looking for someone with the following qualities:
- Climate-conscious - a passion for climate action and a genuine interest in learning about how companies can operate more sustainably will be essential for success.
- Proactive and disciplined - able to direct their own workflow to achieve their goals.
- Positive and resilient - our team is a happy bunch but we also acknowledge that not every day is perfect and even the best-laid plans can fail. We embrace failure as an opportunity, lift each other up and try to keep an optimistic mindset because working to fight the climate crisis can get a little overwhelming sometimes!
- Creative - we’d love you to think outside the box and deliver ideas that we might not have thought of. Bring your own background, experiences and skills and add your own ‘special-sauce’ to our already awesome team.

What you'll get from us
- Flexible work arrangements
- Daily standups and regular interactions with the founders 
- Excellent culture - the founders have been friends for over 6 years and are passionate about building a company that staff love working for.
- Skills and experience useful in any future role, but especially in startups and/or technology/ SaaS companies.

- Your current work and study status and availability

The logistics
The ideal time commitment is 2 days per week on any weekday, pre-agreed the week before. The team is currently 100% remote, and usually online during standard business hours (i.e. between 8:30 - 5:30 pm AEST), however is most focused on output over hours and ensuring we maintain open lines of communication about our availability.
We have a BYOD (bring your own devices) policy, meaning you will need access to your own computer, phone and any other equipment you intend to use in the course of your internship.

This is an unpaid internship best suited to a current university student completing a relevant degree (i.e. Marketing/ Communications/ Business), and can be customised (within reason) to accommodate requirements for your work to be recognised for credit towards your degree. For this reason, the length of your internship is open for discussion, however we expect it to last a period of at least 8 weeks.
