/// Details
- Application closing date: Friday 28 August

- Contract length: October 2026 – March 2027

- Monthly wage: 170€ per month
We’re looking for current students to become our Student Ambassadors for social media on a freelance basis. You’ll represent Catalyst through student-led social media content, as well as planning and creating short-form videos. Through original and engaging content, you’ll capture student life at Catalyst, our diverse student community, our courses, student projects, events and everything that makes Catalyst a unique and exciting place to study.
Each Ambassador will make 3 videos per month, working to a content plan discussed in a monthly planning call with our Storytelling team. Although some videos will be briefed directly by the Storytelling team (e.g. documenting a Catalyst event) you’ll be expected to bring your own concepts, while receiving guidance and feedback from us.
Here are just a few examples of themes you might explore in your videos:
- Student life at Catalyst
- Being an international student in Berlin
- POV: what it’s like to study a specific course
- Documenting a project as it develops
- Documenting specific learnings from a project
/// Your profile
- Experience of creating social media content. This can be in creating content for other brands and institutions or for your own brand/personal channel.
- Experience in documenting your own creative process, artwork or community.
- Have explored making serialised content before.
- Currently enrolled at Catalyst, with a strong passion for the creative arts – whether that’s music production, filmmaking & VFX, or acting.
- Strong communication and visually creative storytelling skills.
- Familiarity with social media trends and the ability to adapt them.
- Team spirit and willingness to collaborate with your peers.
- Comfortable with camera facing videos.
/// Fee
Must be able to send monthly invoices. Ensure this is possible before applying.
/// Expected hours
We estimate that it will take each Student Ambassador roughly 9–10 hours per month to pitch, create, receive feedback on and edit the videos. You can work these hours flexibly to fit your own schedule, provided the videos are delivered by the agreed deadlines each month. You will also need to attend the monthly planning call, which is scheduled according to your availability.
/// How to apply
Please send the following to storytelling@catalyst-berlin.com before Friday 28 August:
- Links to 2 examples of previous videos you have created.
- Pick your 2 favourite videos from our short content social media feeds – say why you liked it, what you would improve.
- 200 words describing your perspective on community-building through video content, and how you feel you would contribute to our channels as a Student Ambassador.
- Your CV, including any relevant experience.
We look forward to reading your application and getting to know you!
