Social Media Intern (Social Psychology)

Job description

We hate social media. We love studying people.

Join Trigger as a Social Media Intern with a strong psychology background.

Trigger is a computational creativity layer.

Trigger studies context and human behavior to explain why content works, predict how it will perform, and recommend what to publish next - improving social performance by understanding people, not by posting more.

Trigger is backed by Builders (AI-native venture studio) and is in an early validation stage with paying design partners.

About Trigger

Creativity today is evaluated by vibes, intuition, and vanity metrics. We believe it can be understood, modeled, and improved.

Trigger ingests multimodal creative assets (video, image, text) and performance signals, then uses contextual analytics and behavioral frameworks to:

• decode and cluster content
• label creative patterns
• explain performance outcomes
• support better creative decisions

Our behavioral framework is built on 10+ years of content analysis, used to take multiple companies from 0 to 1M+ followers, and is currently validated with social-first companies averaging 500k+ followers.

There is strong demand (1,000+ companies on the waiting list).

The role

We’re looking for a Social Media Intern with a strong psychology background to help build and run Trigger’s presence on Instagram and LinkedIn.

You will work and share knowledge with the Founder, Federico, who has a background of 10+ years of building social presence from 0 to 1M+.

This is a minimum 6-month, full-time internship. Not suited for people who are still studying.

You’ll work closely with the founding team and be involved in real content decisions, real publishing, and real feedback loops. You won’t just assist, you’ll ship.

What you'll do

• Actively create content for Trigger’s LinkedIn and Instagram account
• Help turn ideas, insights, and frameworks into posts and formats
• Create and publish content (carousels, short-form video, experiments)
• Learn how to analyze performance beyond likes and impressions
• Test, iterate, and improve based on what actually resonates
• Develop your taste, judgment, and understanding of social storytelling

This is a learning role, but the output is real and public.

Job requirements

What we're looking for

• University degree (master or bachelor) in Psychology, Sociology, Cognitive Sciences or related fields.
• You actively create content (for yourself, brands, or for fun)
• You’re eager to learn fast and take feedback seriously
• You’re comfortable working in an early-stage, fast-moving environment

You don’t need years of experience. You do need taste, curiosity, and commitment.

Founding track

This is an early startup role. As Trigger grows, this role can evolve into Social Media Manager, Digital marketing specialist, content manager - depending on where your strengths compound. We don’t do inflated titles. We do real responsibility.
