Social Media, Marketing, and Software Engineering Intern (Separate Roles)

About SEC Fantasy

THE PROBLEM: College football fans got left behind. Fantasy sports was built for the NFL. The apps, the formats, the culture — all of it. If you're an SEC fan who lives and breathes Saturday football, you've been an afterthought. A checkbox. A "college mode" buried in a menu somewhere. Meanwhile, sports betting is eating the industry alive. What used to be about bragging rights and trash talk with your friends has turned into anxiety-fueled parlays and deposit bonuses. The fun got stripped out. We think that's wrong.

THE VISION: A tailgate that never ends. SEC Fantasy is the place college football fans come to relax, bicker, and have a great time — the way fandom was meant to be. No real money on the line. No predatory deposit screens. Just you, your friends, and the beautiful chaos of SEC football.

About Our Brand: With a "Lovable Burnout" tone, SEC Fantasy captures the tribalism of the South. We are like a fifth-year senior in digital form: opinionated, cynical, hilarious. We're looking for students who live and breathe SEC sports to help us bring back the fun in fandom.

• Women and minorities are encouraged to apply because many SEC fans are underrepresented and we are determined to solve that.

About the Roles

This is an unpaid internship, but we do not believe in being paid in ‘experience.’ Interns will leave with tangible skills, portfolio-ready work, direct mentorship and a long-term support system that extends far beyond the summer. Our main priority is developing a kind, community-based, out-of-the-box and happy group of SEC fans who want to help create a nationwide tailgate.

We are looking for students who are innovative, willing to take risks and excited to bring unconventional ideas to life.

This summer, we are building a team of bold, creative interns through our SEC Fantasy Marketing and Social Media internship programs. We are specifically looking for freshmen and sophomores who want to spend their summer experimenting with the concepts they’ve just begun to learn about in their classes.
