Job Description:

Develop an online community interested in nature, personal growth and wellness. Take responsibility for a startup’s social media voice and help build the foundation of its outdoor community. We are looking for a motivated student who is detail-oriented, creative, and wants to dive into the challenges of a startup and learn real-world business skills from an entrepreneur. Someone who has a creative knack for editing videos/photos, but craves the practical skills of starting and running a business.

Help us grow our second real estate & hospitality business, which is an experimental branch of our first million-dollar Airbnb startup. Outercamp is a network of off-grid glamping stays and a hub for outdoor adventure that calls North Carolina its home. We imagine a world where “time spent in nature” is a wellness measure on your Fitbit.

About 5-10 hours per week. Available Fall and Winter 2023 (opportunity for part-time paid employment in Summer 2024). If you’re still worried about your resume when you leave, this experience will make you stand out from the pack and give you real applicable skills that will allow you to thrive in any job role.

What will you actually be doing on a weekly basis? You will be working independently to create original videos, reels, and posts from existing raw content and engaging with followers on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. We will also arrange site visits for you to capture your own original content. I will be hosting 1 on 1 meetings once per week where we cover some of the business skills topics below. I will connect you with industry experts and resources, and help you build a 2-year plan for your entrepreneurial journey. You will be utilizing new skills along with your existing expertise to help us develop & launch this new real estate startup. Most work will be done remotely on a weekly basis, but we can work together intermittently in-person as well (in Asheville).
