About Swaply

Swaply is the verified student marketplace built at the University of Arkansas — where students buy, sell, and rent within their campus community.

We’re building the first student-only platform that merges convenience, safety, and culture.

Since launching our ambassador and creator programs, we’ve grown into a vibrant network of students shaping the campus resale and rental ecosystem. Now, we’re hiring a Social Media Manager Intern to lead our next phase of growth, defining how Swaply looks, sounds, and moves online.

Role Overview

This internship blends creative direction, marketing strategy, and execution. You’ll work directly with Swaply’s founding team to plan, edit, and publish content for Instagram and TikTok, manage the ambassador content pipeline, and strengthen Swaply’s digital presence across campus.

This is a hybrid position; most work is remote, but we meet once or twice a week in person for creative sessions, team syncs, and campaign planning.

Because of this, we strongly prefer students enrolled at the University of Arkansas or other accredited U.S. educational institutions who can bring a first-hand understanding of campus culture.

Preferred Skills:

Experience leading or managing a social account for an organization
Familiarity with analytics and engagement tracking
Comfortable on camera or leading shoots

Compensation

This is a performance-based internship designed to reward creativity, consistency, and impact.

Base Stipend: $300/month (guaranteed)
Performance Bonus: Up to $200/month based on quality, engagement, and initiative
Total Potential: Up to $500/month

Bonuses are reviewed and paid monthly alongside the base stipend.
