London Community Activation Intern

rednote (小红书) is a leading lifestyle discovery community platform, built on one belief: Everyday Wonder - that real, lived human experience is the most valuable thing on the internet. We’re now taking the DNA of rednote’s success in the east, building a platform for the global users in the west. We are looking for the culturally curious tastemakers who know their cities inside and out, and are generous in sharing this with the world. This is the rednote Global Community Internship Program. Our Global Community Interns are connectors, curators, and activators. You move through creative communities with genuine belonging — not as an observer, but as someone who is already in the room. You have taste that is still forming, instincts that are already sharp, and a natural ability to recognize what is worth paying attention to before everyone else does.

This program is split into two tracks:

• Track 1: Content Creators Intern Responsibilities

• Identify and recruit creators who are doing interesting work — people with a genuine point of view, not just a following
• Build and maintain relationships with creators through outreach, events, and ongoing communication
• Spot emerging talent in the spaces where it actually surfaces — studio crits, thesis shows, independent galleries, open studio nights
• Support creator onboarding — from first contact to first post
• Collaborate cross-functionally with the activation team

Persuasive: You can pitch an idea, read a room, and make someone want to say yes — with or without a deck behind you.

Connector: You already have genuine standing in a creative community — a studio, a department, a scene. People trust your taste and answer when you reach out.

Aesthetic Eye: You notice what makes something feel right. Not just beautiful — intentional. You can walk into a space, scroll through a feed, or look at someone's work and immediately understand what they are going for. And you can put that into words.

Platform Native: You use rednote the way it was meant to be used — not to farm engagement, but because the content there reflects how you actually live. You understand why certain posts stop people mid-scroll, and others disappear.

Resourceful: You know how to find the right person and start the right conversation.

Accountable: Self-managing, reliable, comfortable with ambiguity. You flag problems early. You own outcomes.

You must be currently enrolled as an undergraduate or postgraduate student in London.

• Track 2: Community Activation Intern Responsibilities

• Conceive and execute boutique events — pop-ups, campus activations, creator dinners, salon-style gatherings — that feel considered, not corporate
• Capture event outcomes — photos, feedback, sign-ups — and feed them back into the growth loop
• Curate every layer of the experience — venue, atmosphere, styling, flow — so that guests walk away remembering how the night felt, not just what happened
• Be the face of the brand on the ground: approachable, energetic, and always representing our mission

Scrappy: You love the messy space between "idea" and "done" and will make things happen, even when directions change.

Detail-oriented: You can handle the full lifecycle — outreach, logistics, on-site execution, post-event follow — without missing small details.

Extroverted: You can talk to anyone — a venue owner, a student leader, a creator — and get them aligned in the moment.

Aesthetic Curator: You approach events the way a designer approaches a brief — with intention. You think about light, pace, object, and atmosphere. The things you put together feel like they belong together. Practice, not performance.

Accountable: Self-managing, reliable, comfortable with ambiguity. You flag problems early. You own outcomes.

You must be currently enrolled as an undergraduate or postgraduate student in London.

HOW TO APPLY

• Step 1 — Resume & one link: Send us your resume and one link to something that shows how you see the world — a portfolio, a project, a feed, a zine, anything that reflects your taste and point of view. If you have nothing to link, tell us about the last thing you made, organized, or recommended that you are genuinely proud of.
• Step 2 — One assignment: You may answer each assignment separately in any format of your choice (e.g. a video, slide deck, or written response, etc.). Please submit all response materials together in a single file. You have one month to bring 100 creators from your city to a new platform. How would you do it? You can use any approach — think as big or small as you want. (Include a list of the top 10 creators you would approach, and why.) No right answers! We want real ideas with your point of view.
• Step 3 — Conversation: 30 minutes with someone from rednote's local team.
