Description

About Arena 

Arena is a vetted network connecting leaders across sports, media, and entertainment.

The Role 

We need someone who can make Arena's content stop the scroll. You'll be our in-house creative engine for the summer -- designing social assets, editing video, and ensuring everything Arena puts out looks and feels like a brand people want to follow. If you have opinions about fonts, transitions, and why most brand Instagram accounts are boring, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Work On

• Designing graphics, carousels, and visual assets for Instagram and LinkedIn
• Editing short-form video and Reels from raw footage, interviews, or event content
• Collaborating with our editorial intern to bring their stories to life visually
• Creating and updating brand materials, pitch decks, and sales collateral as needed
• Bringing creative ideas to the table -- we want you to push concepts, not just execute briefs

What We're Looking For

• Current undergraduate or graduate student studying graphic design, visual communications, film/media production, or a related field
• Strong portfolio showing social-first design work and/or video editing
• Proficient in tools like Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, Premiere, or similar
• Eye for brand consistency -- you notice when something feels off
• Able to move fast without sacrificing quality
• Bonus: motion graphics, photography, experience with brand systems or style guides

Logistics

• Summer 2026, June - August (dates flexible based on your schedule)
• Part-time or full-time hours, we'll work with you
• $300 stipend; academic credit available
• Fully remote (U.S. based)
