UVA Earned Media Team: Digital Marketing Intern (Student Wage)

Overview:

The University of Virginia’s media relations team, which is part of Office of University Communications, is looking to hire a thoughtful, detail-oriented student colleague, who will lead production cycle of our twice-weekly media newsletter, which reaches thousands of journalists.  

This opportunity sits at the intersection of legacy media and emerging media, offering direct experience into the constantly evolving nature of university media relations in the digital era. This position will own the creation and execution of the newsletter, including helping the media relations team to refine its design and delivery. Beyond publishing each edition, this role will support strategic email list management and subscriber development. In totality, those responsibilities and opportunities offer a student internship role with nearly limitless potential. 

This position is great for someone who enjoys refining processes over time and delivering work on a consistent cadence. While an interest in journalism and media is valuable, this position is best suited to candidates with a passion in high-quality execution, the strategic aspects of email communications, audience growth, and understanding how digital content reaches and engages with varying audiences. 

You will be joining a small but determined Earned Media Team, where our mission is harnessing strategic media coverage to benefit the public and elevate the standing of world-class UVA experts. Our work directly supports UVA’s role as a public institution that serves all citizens of Virginia. 

The starting date and weekly schedule are both highly flexible. In addition, the location of the work is highly flexible, hybrid in nature, and adaptable to student schedules. Optimal combination of remote-work arrangements and a vibrant, engaging office setting.
