Affiliate Community Marketing Intern

Gymreapers • Nampa, ID

1d • Remote

About The Position

Gymreapers is offering a credit-bearing internship for a student who wants hands-on exposure to creator marketing, affiliate programs, and online community building. The intern will work alongside our Brand Partnerships team supporting the Gymreapers TikTok Shop affiliate Discord community, where several thousand creators go to get product, learn what is launching, enter contests, and track their standing on the leaderboard. This is a learning position. The intern works under direct supervision, supports rather than replaces the team members who own this community, and will not be the sole coverage for it. The intern will welcome new members, post updates from approved copy, help answer routine questions from an approved FAQ, encourage conversation, keep channels tidy, and escalate anything requiring a decision. This internship is unpaid and offered for academic credit only. It carries no expectation of compensation and no entitlement to a paid position at its conclusion. Hours are set around the candidate's academic schedule and will be adjusted for exam periods and academic obligations.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in an accredited degree program in marketing, communications, business, or a related field, and eligible to receive academic credit for this internship.
• Written approval from the candidate's school or internship coordinator prior to the start date.
• Active, comfortable Discord user; understands roles, channels, threads, and community norms.
• Clear, professional written communication, and the judgment to know when a question needs escalating rather than answering.
• Reliable and consistent within an agreed weekly schedule.
• Organized enough to maintain a posting record and a weekly summary.
• Comfortable enforcing community rules politely and without escalating tone.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with TikTok, TikTok Shop, creator or affiliate programs, or the fitness and strength training space is a strong plus.
• Prior experience helping run or moderate an online community, of any size, is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Welcome new members as they join and help them through the onboarding steps so they receive the correct role and can see the right channels.
• Follow up with members who stall partway through onboarding.
• Help keep Open Chat and Post Your Videos active with prompts, replies, and recognition of member wins.
• Flag standout member-posted content to the team for potential repurposing.
• Post announcements, launch reminders, contest updates, and leaderboard posts on the published schedule using copy written or approved by the team.
• Help keep the Resources and Training channels current: flag broken links, outdated posts, and gaps.
• Maintain a running record of what has been posted and what is scheduled next.
• Draft first-pass copy for routine community posts for team review and approval.
• Monitor channels for spam, off-topic posts, promotion of other brands, and conduct that breaks the community rules, and escalate what is found.
• Redirect misplaced posts to the correct channel.
• Monitor the Help channel, answer routine questions from the approved FAQ, and route everything else to the correct owner.
• Log recurring questions, friction points, and confusion so the FAQ and onboarding flow can be improved.
• Maintain a simple weekly summary of new members, activity, questions received, and issues escalated.
• Raise member sentiment issues or emerging problems as they happen rather than at week's end.

Benefits

• Academic credit through your school's internship program
• Direct mentorship from the Gymreapers Brand Partnerships team, including weekly one-on-ones
• Hands-on exposure to creator marketing, affiliate program mechanics, and TikTok Shop
• Gymreapers product allowance
• Employee discount
• Gymreapers on-site gym access for on-site interns
• A written performance summary and a professional reference at the end of the term
• Consideration for future openings as they become available
