Social Media Manager – UF Student Opportunity
UF Innovate | Accelerate
Job Description
Location: Gainesville, FL (remote-friendly for UF students)
Job Type: Part-time, flexible hours (~8–10 hours/week)
About Us
Beyond The Box Engineering (BTBE) is a Gainesville-based startup that creates hands-on engineering lab kits used at UF and beyond. We’re also branching out into 3D printing tools (like our AutoQueue project) and consumer products (potential Etsy shop with 3D-printed goods).
The Opportunity
We need a UF student with strong social media skills to take charge of our online presence. This isn’t a “learn-on-the-job” internship — we’re looking for someone who already understands how to grow an audience and create engaging content across multiple platforms. If you’re the go-to person among your friends for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube strategy, this is your chance to run a real brand’s accounts.
What You’ll Do
• Manage and grow social media for:
o BTBE Lab Kits (targeting students/educators)
o BTBE AutoQueue (targeting 3D printing hobbyists)
o 3D-printed consumer products (Etsy and related markets)
• Create posts, reels, TikToks, and stories that fit each audience.
• Research trending products, memes, and social media strategies to apply to our accounts.
• Suggest and execute campaigns that can drive rentals, sales, or visibility.
• Work independently with minimal direction.
What We’re Looking For
• A UF student who knows social media platforms inside and out.
• Creativity — you know what makes people stop scrolling.
• Ability to juggle different project “voices” (education, maker culture, consumer sales).
• Reliable, organized, and proactive.
• Prior experience running a personal, club, or brand account is a big plus.
Why Join Us
• Flexible hours — easy to balance with school.
• Build real-world portfolio experience managing multiple brands.
• Direct creative control — you’ll be the one shaping how we show up online.
• Be part of a growing Gainesville startup.
Compensation
• $14/hr, ~8–10 hours per week
