Social Media Intern

We hate social media. We love studying people.

Trigger isn’t a scheduler and it doesn’t generate content. The world has enough of those. Trigger is a computational creativity layer.

We study context and human behavior to explain why content works, predict how it will perform, and recommend what to publish next - improving social performance by understanding people, not by posting more.

Trigger is backed by Builders (AI-native venture studio) and is in an early validation stage with paying design partners.

About Trigger

Creativity today is evaluated by vibes, intuition, and vanity metrics. We believe it can be understood, modeled, and improved.

Trigger ingests multimodal creative assets (video, image, text) and performance signals, then uses contextual analytics and behavioral frameworks to:

• decode and cluster content

• label creative patterns

• explain performance outcomes

• support better creative decisions

Our behavioral framework is built on 10+ years of content analysis, used to take multiple companies from 0 to 1M+ followers, and is currently validated with social-first companies averaging 500k+ followers.

There is strong demand (1,000+ companies on the waiting list).

The role

We’re looking for a Social Media Intern to help build and run Trigger’s presence on Instagram and LinkedIn.

You will work and share knowledge with the Founder, Federico, who has a background of 10+ years of building social presence from 0 to 1M+.

This is a minimum 6-month, full-time internship. Not a side project. Not a “few hours a week”.

You’ll work closely with the founding team and be involved in real content decisions, real publishing, and real feedback loops. You won’t just assist, you’ll ship.

What you'll do

• Support and contribute to Trigger’s Instagram and LinkedIn content

• Help turn ideas, insights, and frameworks into posts and formats

• Create and publish content (carousels, short-form video, experiments)

• Learn how to analyze performance beyond likes and impressions

• Test, iterate, and improve based on what actually resonates

• Develop your taste, judgment, and understanding of social storytelling

This is a learning role, but the output is real and public.

What we're looking for

• You’re curious about social media, storytelling, and human behavior

• You actively create content (for yourself, brands, or projects)

• You have a point of view, even if it’s still forming

• You’re eager to learn fast and take feedback seriously

• You’re comfortable working in an early-stage, fast-moving environment

• You care about quality, not just posting for the sake of it

• University degree in Social Psychology, Cognitive Science, or related studies is a strong plus

You don’t need years of experience. You do need taste, curiosity, and commitment.

Internship conditions

• Duration: minimum 6 months

• Commitment: full-time only

• Compensation: Market-conform

• Location: Rotterdam

Founding track

This is an early startup role. As Trigger grows, this role can evolve into Social Media Manager, Digital marketing specialist, content manager - depending on where your strengths compound. We don’t do inflated titles. We do real responsibility.

Application

To apply, we’d love to see 3 recent pieces of content you’re most proud of. Tell us why you’re proud of them. Not what performed best, what you learned.

Hiring process

Simple and human:

1. Intro & motivation chat

2. Content review and discussion

3. Fit & learning goals conversation

If there’s a fit, you’ll join us and start shipping. We don’t do “shadowing”. We build.
