Description
About The Role -We are looking for a Social Media Intern to help build the public voice of a company that does not have one yet. This is a paid six-month internship in Dubai. Not a coffee run with a job title: you will write, design, schedule, and measure real posts that real people read, and you will do it with your name attached to the work.Most fintech social media is unreadable. Ours does not have to be, because nobody has decided what it sounds like yet. You will help decide, alongside the founders, and everything you publish becomes part of how the market first meets UniqPay. That is unusual for an internship, and it is the reason the role exists.What You Will Do -Make the posts: Draft, design, and schedule content for LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Meta, Reddit, and Quora, from first idea to published post.Keep the calendar: Maintain the content calendar so the pipeline is planned rather than panicked, and nothing ships late.Find the story: Turn what is actually happening inside the company, a launch, a hire, a market, a lesson, into something worth reading.Watch the market: Track what other payments and fintech companies publish, and bring back what works and what embarrasses them.Measure honestly: Report on reach, engagement, and follower growth, and say plainly when a post did not land.Help the employer brand: Support hiring content that makes the roles in this pack findable by the people who should read them, and keep an eye on our Glassdoor presence, flagging reviews worth a response before they sit unanswered.Build the library: Organise a usable archive of images, templates, and approved copy so the next person inherits a system.Protect the line: Run anything about products, regulation, or clients past the founders before it goes out. In payments, a careless post is a compliance issue, not just a bad tweet.Who You Are -Stage: A final year student, recent graduate, or someone early enough to be learning fast and honest about it.Writing: You write clean, plain English with a voice. Formal is not the same as good.Native platform sense: You know why a post works on LinkedIn or X and dies on Instagram, without needing a course to explain it - and you are not a stranger to Meta, Reddit, or Quora either, where a B2B pitch reads very differently than a B2C one.Design basics: Comfortable in Canva, Figma, or similar, enough to make something look deliberate.Curiosity: Willing to learn how payments actually work, because you cannot write well about what you do not understand.Ownership: Ships work without being chased, and asks when something is above your line.Availability: Able to work from the Dubai office for the internship period.Bonus points if -You have run a social account, a newsletter, a student page, or a personal project that people actually followed.You have worked on B2B brands or campaigns across Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Quora - different platforms, different instincts, and we'd love someone who already gets that.You hold a HubSpot Social Media Marketing, Meta Certified Digital Marketing Associate, Hootsuite Academy certification.You shoot or edit short video.You write in Arabic or another language spoken across our markets.What You Get -Paid: A monthly stipend for the full six months. We do not run unpaid internships; quality work has a price.Real work: A published portfolio you can show, not a certificate of attendance.Real access: Direct time with the founders and the operators building the company, not a filtered version of it.A real ending: Interns who are excellent are considered first for a permanent marketing seat as the function grows. No promises, no games: we will tell you where you stand.Where this role goes -As UniqPay launches and the marketing function forms, this internship is the natural first step toward a Marketing Associate or Content seat. You will have done the work already; the title just catches up.What Is Next -We aim to reply to every application within ten business days, and our interview process usually takes around three to four weeks. It is a short, practical process: a real conversation, an exercise that looks like the actual job rather than a brain teaser, and time with the people you would work beside, founders included. Tell us if you need more flexibility at any stage.Our Take On Who Belongs Here -Our team already spans several nationalities, time zones, and payment traditions, and we think that is exactly why we make good calls in cross border payments. Whoever you are and wherever you are from, you are welcome to be yourself here.
