Social Media Marketing Internship

About Tala Thrive

Tala Thrive is a mental health platform offering culturally competent care through video calls and self-led programs. We match clients with therapists and coaches who understand their culture, language, and religion, because you shouldn't have to educate your therapist about your culture - you should have a practitioner who just 'gets it’. Our mission is to provide care that respects cultural nuances, making therapy accessible and impactful.

As an early-stage startup, we are backed by an incredible team led by our founder and CEO, Sonia Kaurah, a former venture capitalist and startup mentor. Our team operates across multiple locations, including an established presence in Melbourne and a company based in central London, supporting the organisation’s global reach.

About the Internship

We are seeking a motivated Social Media Marketing Intern to join our team for a summer internship. The internship would be around 15 hours per week, across a three-month period. While this is an unpaid position, travel expenses and lunches on in-person days will be covered. Exceptional performance during the internship might lead to a paid position within the company.

As part of Tala Thrive’s marketing team, you will collaborate closely with our founder and senior leadership team, gaining hands-on experience in social media strategy and execution while contributing meaningfully to our growth.

• Partnership Outreach: Identify potential collaborators, draft partnership proposals, and assist in outreach efforts (including cold outreach).

• Campaign Planning: Assist in brainstorming digital marketing strategies and scheduling content across platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

• Audience Engagement: Monitor social media channels for trends, feedback, and opportunities for engagement.

Requirements:

• Experience with social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a creative mindset for generating unique content ideas.

• Basic understanding of digital marketing principles and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics).

• Self-motivated with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with the team.

Benefits:

• Gain hands-on experience working directly with senior leadership in a dynamic startup environment.

• Access to exclusive co-working spaces for occasional in-person collaboration days.

• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on mental health accessibility through culturally competent care initiatives.
