Intern

About Black Mesa

At Black Mesa, we’re not just preparing kids for the future — we’re designing it with them.

We teach students (ages 8 and up) how to think like investors, lead and communicate like entrepreneurs, and corporate decision-makers. We blend financial education, investing, leadership, business and strategy with character-building — all tailored for the AI and Robotics era.

Our students come from cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Paris, Brussels, London and Kyiv — and our mindset is global.

We move quietly, purposefully, and unapologetically toward long-term impact.

This isn’t traditional education. This is a proving ground for the next generation.

Role: Intern (SMM, Strategy, and Creative Support)

We’re looking for one or two part-time, remote interns to join us as we scale our presence and deepen our impact.

Your role will live at the intersection of digital marketing, content creation, strategy, research and education. You’ll work closely with our Founder and CEO to bring the Black Mesa vision to life online and offline.

What You’ll Be Doing

Social Media & Marketing

• Assist with Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube content
• Draft and schedule posts, captions, reels, carousels
• Organize and manage content calendars
• Help shape our brand voice and storytelling
• Engage with comments, messages, and community feedback
• Experiment with digital growth strategies

Research & Strategy

• Conduct competitor and market research
• Help build internal presentations, spreadsheets and various reports
• Assist in program development and student-facing resources
• Brainstorm new campaigns, formats, and partnerships.

Creative & Operational

• Support in designing presentations and visual content (Canva, Figma, etc.)
• Join internal brainstorms, team calls, and student events
• Propose and execute mini-projects based on your own interests

You don’t need to be perfect at everything. We’ll shape the internship around your strengths and learning goals.

You Might Be a Good Fit If…

• You’re a student or recent grad with real curiosity and integrity
• You’re active on social media and care about quality content
• You’re self-driven, organized, and can manage your time independently
• You’re fluent in English (bonus if you also speak Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, or French)
• You love learning new things and contributing to something meaningful
• You’re comfortable working async with a small, focused team
• You want to help kids learn the things school doesn’t teach

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world experience building a bold, international education venture
• Mentorship, creative freedom, and space to make an impact
• A front-row seat to how strategy meets storytelling in startup growth
• A portfolio of content and projects you’ll be proud of
• The chance to stay on and grow with us in future paid roles
• A meaningful mission that aligns with your values

How to Apply

There’s no long form. Just send us a message (LinkedIn or email) with:

1. Why Black Mesa resonates with you
2. What you’d love to work on or learn
3. A link to your LinkedIn or resume
4. (Optional) Any sample: a post, design, reel, doc, or project you’ve worked on

We care more about curiosity, clarity, can-do attitude and commitment than credentials.

Let’s build something that matters — and help the next generation do the same.
