SweatPals
Job Description
Job Description About SweatPals At SweatPals, our mission is to help people build real connections through movement — and empower the next generation of fitness entrepreneurs. Backed by a16z, Kevin Hart, and other world-class investors, we connect hundreds of thousands of “Pals,” hosts, and gyms through events, memberships, and social features. We believe working out should be joyful, social, and inclusive — not just a solo grind. From run clubs and beach pilates to pickleball leagues and cold plunge socials, SweatPals turns everyday workouts into meaningful social experiences. SweatPals also gives local leaders the tools to grow their fitness communities from side hustles to full-time, even million-dollar businesses. Hosts use our platform to run their businesses — from ticketing and memberships to marketing tools. As we scale, social media and marketing play critical roles in turning this mission into a movement. From building a brand people talk about to growing our presence city by city, you’ll help bring our story to life — and make it feel personal, local, and exciting to join.
Role: Social Media Marketing Intern We’re hiring a Social Media Marketing Intern to help shape how SweatPals shows up online. You’ll work closely with our marketing team to create content, engage with our community, and capture the energy of SweatPals events.

Run small experiments — testing 1–2 content ideas per month and sharing learnings
What We’re Looking For
Passion for fitness, wellness, and community-driven brands
Active knowledge of IG, TikTok, and emerging social trends
Creative eye for content — comfortable with photos, video, and writing engaging captions
Organized, proactive, and eager to learn in a fast-paced startup environment
Experience with social media, content creation, or marketing (personal projects, student clubs, or internships)
is required
Skills
Comfortable speaking in front of the camera
Highly organized, reliable, and accountable — able to take feedback constructively

Strong short-form copywriting (IG captions, TikTok hooks, meme headlines, etc.)
Able to manage multiple projects and keep things moving
Clear communicator and confident collaborator across teams
Familiar with tools like Canva and video editing apps
Curious and trend-savvy — always spotting new formats, cultural moments, and platform shifts
Comfortable in live/event settings — outgoing, approachable, and great at capturing authentic footage
Positive, team-first attitude with a scrappy, can-do energy
Strong storytelling instincts — able to turn everyday moments into engaging narratives
High attention to detail — double-checks captions, visuals, and posts before publishing
