Working Student - Social Media & Content

As our Working Student in Social Media & Content, you help shape how Maple Aviation shows up to the world. We are building autonomous aircraft for time-critical medical logistics and there are plenty of stories worth telling along the way. From flight tests and engineering milestones to product demonstrations, partnerships and everyday life inside a growing aerospace startup. You will help turn these moments into content that people want to stop, watch and engage with.

• Support photo and video productions, including shooting, editing and preparing content for different formats.
• Monitor channel performance and use insights to understand what works and what we should do differently.
• Keep our communication visually and verbally consistent across social media.
• Stay close to new formats, platform trends and creative ideas and bring the good ones into Maple.
