Brand & Marketing Manager Intern

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is not a typical internship. You'll be embedded in a fast-moving proptech company at the intersection of behavioural science, AI, and real estate — working directly alongside our leadership team: a PhD in behavioural science who has advised Fortune 100 brands, a proven property development specialist, a technical founder experienced in AI and e-commerce, and a technical lead who evolves our platform daily. You'll be responsible for bringing the Altavera brand to life — through compelling content, memorable events, and a consistent visual and verbal identity that makes buyers, developers, and partners feel something. You'll have real ownership, real impact, and real learning from day one.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

 Content Creation

• Produce short-form video content for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok — from filming and scripting to editing and publishing
• Transform complex behavioural and pricing insights into engaging, accessible stories for our audience 
• Write copy for social media posts, newsletters, project pages, and email campaigns 
• Maintain and grow Altavera's presence across all social platforms with a consistent brand voice

• Be a confident, professional brand ambassador at all Altavera events 

Marketing Operations

• Monitor and report on social media analytics, email performance, and campaign results 
• Assist with paid digital advertising campaigns where relevant 
• Maintain a content calendar and ensure timely delivery of all marketing outputs 
• Support the team with market research, competitor analysis, and industry trend spotting

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• We care far more about mindset, curiosity, and creative instinct than credentials. That said, you'll thrive in this role if you are:
• A natural storyteller who can make complex ideas feel simple, exciting, and human
• Comfortable in front of a camera and confident behind one — filming, directing, and editing short-form video
• Passionate about brand, aesthetics, and why things feel the way they do
• Genuinely curious about human behaviour, psychology, and what drives people's decisions
• Self-driven and proactive — you don't wait to be told what needs doing 
• Excited to learn from a team operating at the frontier of behavioural science and AI 
•  Adaptable, collaborative, and energised by a fast-paced, startup environment
• Available to travel within the Cape Town metro for shoots, events, and client-facing work

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE Essential

• Proficiency in short-form video creation and editing (CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar) 
• Experience managing social media accounts (Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok)
• Strong written communication skills in English
• Basic graphic design ability (Canva, Adobe, Figma, or similar)

Advantageous

• Studying or qualified in Marketing, Communications, Media, Brand Strategy, or similar 
• Experience with email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, etc.)
• Photography skills or an eye for visual composition
• Interest or background in real estate, architecture, or property
• Event coordination or production experience

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN

• Hands-on experience building a brand from the ground up at an ambitious proptech company
• Direct mentorship from a PhD behavioural scientist, a seasoned real estate expert, and an AI technologist
• Exposure to how buyer psychology, data, and strategy come together in a real commercial context
• A portfolio of real work — content, campaigns, and events that you owned end-to-end
• A network across the South African and European real estate and technology industries
• A reference and recommendation from founders who are invested in your growth
