Please note, this internship requires you to be a UK national or resident.

Here at Codec, we have a fantastic internship opportunity available for approximately 4 weeks, to help us expand our insight capabilities into web3, including the metaverse, and NFTs. This will require the candidate to be a UK national or resident, be familiar with social media, and have an understanding of the significant subcultures and trends in the space.

You’ll be helping us build out our understanding of the web3 space by identifying and researching topics with cultural significance to our communities and brand clients. Your research will integrate with our proprietary algorithms and help us and help our clients fully understand the trends and opportunities of this emerging space.

You will get to work in a remote start-up environment, and you will be helping to build out key infrastructure and capabilities for us. Great communication skills are essential as you will be working closely with other members of the Codec team.

Working arrangements will be flexible as work will be carried out remotely, but we are looking for a UK based candidate. The working hours are 40 per week to be worked flexibly, some of which can be done in evenings / weekends to suit your schedule, however there will be a requirement to be available for some internal team calls during standard office hours.

Requirements:

The task is defining interest topics within our cultural database framework; this mainly involves:

  • Comprehensive desk and Discord research (understanding and contextualising the existing and emerging trends and topics within the web3 space)
  • Social media research (finding/selecting accounts on Twitter, Facebook etc. that are relevant to the interest topic)

You must:

  • Be a UK resident or national
  • Have your own laptop
  • Be available to start immediately
  • Be available to work full time (up to 40 h/week), though with flexible working hours

Skills:

  • Fluent or native English speaker
  • Broad understanding and interest in web3 and the metaverse
  • Awareness of the multicultural and multifaceted aspects of the web3 space, including education, gamefi, defi, and entertainment.
  • Understanding and appreciation of subcultures, inclusivity and diversity
  • Ability to research any topic and critically assess information
  • Strong written organisation and communication skills
  • Familiarity with Excel/Google Spreadsheets
  • Familiarity with social media (Twitter, Facebook etc.) though no commercial skills required
  • Knowledge of marketing industry is desirable

About Codec:

Codec is a cultural intelligence platform. We apply science to culture using AI-driven analysis of thousands of millions of digital content engagements online to group mass audiences into communities, linked by shared leaders, interests, and identity. To help brands move away from mass reach, demographic and product based segmentation.

Our core beliefs are that brands of the future are community driven, culturally relevant and passion led. Post COVID, it’s never been so important for brands to be relevant and empathetic to grow. We help them do this by putting cultural intelligence at their heart.

Brands work with us to get insights into existing brand communities, to drive growth and discover how to unlock new, untapped communities as well as for business transformations and putting cultural insights at the centre of decisions.

We’re committed to building a diverse group of talent with a broad range of backgrounds, skills and capabilities and will give full and fair consideration to all applicants. We hire for the person not for the role, looking for people who share our ambitions to be bold and innovate, making Codec.ai a global success story.
