Food Network Social Media Intern - Spring 2022 (Virtual)
Overview
Although our spring internship program will be completely remote (students can apply from anywhere), please be aware that this intern will report into an east coast based manager and therefore should expect to work on eastern standard time.

Being on the front lines, we are constantly reading follower feedback, hopping on the newest trends and evolving our social strategy.
