About The Position

Our mission at Onton is to help people make decisions they love, instantly. We’re tackling the most economically impactful decisions first: the average shopping journey takes 79 days, and we’re taking that to less than 1. Since our public launch in late 2023, we've grown exponentially to guide millions of users to their perfect product.
We recently built the foundation of a neurosymbolic AI agent that learns more about the world on every search. You have the chance to solve equally difficult problems as you scale Onton 10x over the next few months to serve 1B+ searches/year, which is just the beginning.
The Role
We are seeking a creatively-driven, trend-aware Social Media & Marketing Intern to help scale the Onton community. This role is designed for a digital native who possesses a deep understanding of social media ecosystems and knows how to translate emerging trends into brand-aligned content.
You will work directly under our Social Media Manager and create content that builds community, drives engagement, and expands our reach globally. Onton is a brand positioned at the intersection of interior design, curated shopping, and technology, so an interest in these areas is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Scale the Community: Assist the SMM and execute daily content that drives follower growth and turns passive viewers into active Onton users.
• Content Execution: Turn high-level strategy into reality. You’ll assist in brainstorming, filming, designing static posts, and editing short-form videos (TikTok/Reels).
• Trend Scouting: Identify emerging sounds, memes, and cultural shifts before they peak.
• Platform Management: Posting content across TikTok, IG, and YouTube, ensuring everything is optimized for algorithm discovery.
• Creator Collaboration: Support the SMM in managing influencer partnerships and tracking deliverables to ensure our community sees Onton through the voices they trust.
