Muvi TV is looking for a Multimedia Content Intern to cut video and design graphics for our social platforms over a three-month period.

About the role

If you are the person who edits the clips your friends share, who makes the flyers for events, who knows why one video gets 500 views and the next one gets 50,000, this role is for you. You will be creating content that thousands of Zambians see every day.

Responsibilities

• Edit short-form video for Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, including news clips, highlights and explainer videos
• Cut long broadcast material down into social-ready clips
• Add subtitles, captions, lower thirds and basic motion graphics
• Design news cards, quote cards, thumbnails, cover images and promotional graphics in the Muvi TV brand style
• Shoot simple content on a phone or camera when needed
• Work with the newsroom to turn breaking stories into visual content fast
• Watch what performs, and bring ideas for new formats and trends

Requirements

Minimum qualification

A Grade 12 certificate. That is all we require.

No degree, diploma or formal design training is needed. Your work speaks for you. If you have edits or designs you are proud of, bring them.

Preferred experience

What we are looking for

• Ability to edit video using any tool you are comfortable with, such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Filmora or similar
• A good eye for design and layout, using any tool such as Canva, Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma or similar
• Understanding of what works on social media in Zambia, including trends, sound, pacing and captions
• Confident use of a computer, including file management, exporting and working with large media files
• Speed. Social content is time-sensitive and often needs to go out the same day
• Creativity and a willingness to try formats that have not been done before
• Willingness to take direction and revise work

How to apply

Applying is simple. We want two things from you.

Your CV

Upload a copy of your CV as a PDF or Word document. One or two pages is enough. Include your full name, phone number, email address, education and any experience you have, even if it is informal or unpaid.

A video about yourself, maximum two minutes

Record a video introducing yourself. Tell us who you are, why you want this internship, and what you would bring to Muvi TV.

Be creative with it. This is not a formal interview and we are not looking for someone reading from a script in a stiff voice. Shoot it however you like. Use your phone. Edit it, or do not edit it. Show us your neighbourhood, your desk, your work, your personality. Make us remember you.

For the Reporter Intern role, we are listening for how you think and how you communicate. For the Multimedia Content Intern role, treat the video as your first piece of work for us.

Two minutes is the maximum. Shorter is fine.
