Social Media & Content Intern

At headfirst we make helmets people actually want to wear. No mushroom look, no fiddly dials. Just clean design, smart technology and a fit that feels made for your head. Our helmets already turn heads on the street. Now we need someone who makes them turn heads online.

You'll take on a big part of our socials and content: Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, from first idea to final post. You shoot it, edit it, post it and find out what worked. Then you do it again, only better.

• Content creation: shooting photo and video of our helmets where they belong. On the bike, in the city and on real heads.
• Editing: turning raw footage into reels, TikToks and stories people don't scroll past.
• Content planning: building and running our content calendar, from product drops to everyday posts.
• Community: replying to comments, reposting our riders and keeping the conversation going in our tone of voice.
• Creators & collabs: finding creators and partners who fit the brand and setting up collaborations with them.
• Trends: knowing what's happening on TikTok and Instagram and which trends are worth jumping on (and which aren't).
• Social creatives: designing visuals in Canva or Figma for organic posts and paid social.
• Events & shoots: capturing content at events, rides and photo shoots.
• Analysis: checking what performs and why, so next week's content beats this week's.

In short: you're the reason people stop scrolling. You'll see your work out in the world, sometimes within the hour.

We make helmets you actually want to wear. With SafeFit®, a motion-sensing brake light and a clean design, we're bringing something new to a category that's been standing still. The Echo Pro has already been embraced by hundreds of early adopters and now we're rolling out across Europe.
