Paid Intern Needed For Social Media

Job Title: Remote Social Media Manager (Off-Grid Energy Campaign)
Location: Remote (US or UK-based preferred, but open)
Type: Freelance/Part-Time with opportunity to grow
Salary: £10 per hour plus expenses

Apply via: nick@off-grid.net


✊ About the Role:

Are you a whip-smart, creative, and fast-moving social media expert who knows your TikToks from your TED Talks, your Reels from your renewables?

We’re looking for a Remote Social Media Manager to drive the digital campaign for a large-scale rollout of small-scale energy in the UK – part of a growing movement to decentralise power (literally and metaphorically).

You’ll be working closely with Nick Rosen, founder of Off-Grid.net, author of How to Live Off-Grid, and longtime campaigner for energy independence and off-grid living. Your task? Help make distributed energy as viral as cat memes and as urgent as a blackout.

This isn’t just a job – it’s a media insurgency.


📲 Platforms You’ll Manage:

  • LinkedIn

  • Instagram

  • Facebook

  • TikTok

  • YouTube

  • X (Twitter)

  • Amazon Influencer page

  • Plus: our content hub at linktr.ee/offgridnet


🧠 You MUST Have:

  • Serious experience in social media & e-commerce: Ideally for campaigns, lifestyle brands, or advocacy projects.

  • An intuitive understanding of the electricity industry – from Eskom’s load shedding to the National Grid’s polite chaos. You’ll need to speak fluently about off-grid energy systems, decentralised tech, and solar-powered sanity.

  • A nose for narrative: You know how to turn policy into punchlines, and engineering into engagement.

  • A high output capacity: Quality is vital, but so is speed. You can produce content daily without falling into a puddle.

  • Creative independence: You won’t be micro-managed. We want someone who can lead digital strategy and content creation with intelligence and initiative.


💡 What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Develop and implement a cross-platform content strategy to build a movement for small-scale energy solutions in the UK.

  • Create original, engaging content (video, graphics, carousels, infographics, threads, Reels, TikToks, etc.).

  • Grow followers and increase engagement – not just vanity metrics, but actual community-building.

  • Tie e-commerce strategy into the content funnel, including the Amazon influencer page.

  • Work with Nick to craft a media voice that’s bold, informed, funny, and rebellious – think Private Eye meets Permaculture Now.

  • Monitor trends, adapt strategy, and tweak content in real-time to respond to both cultural and electrical storms.


⚡️ Bonus Points For:

  • Video editing & on-camera skills

  • Familiarity with YouTube growth tactics

  • Previous work with energy brands, NGOs, or off-grid tech

  • Experience turning media into revenue (e.g. affiliate links, influencer funnels, paid partnerships)


🚀 This Job is For You If:

  • You’re not afraid to take a stance – on policy or aesthetics.

  • You believe decentralisation is more than just a buzzword.

  • You can write like a human and post like a machine.

  • You’re looking to be part of a purpose-driven project with impact.


To apply, send us:

  • Links to your previous work

  • A short cover letter (or video intro) telling us why you’re right for this role

  • Your availability and expected rate
    👉 linktr.ee/offgridnet

Let’s build a movement that makes energy local, media meaningful, and independence mainstream.

Start immediately.
