Job Description

The purpose of the internship program is to provide college students with “hands-on” experience working in a dynamic workplace, where they can expand themselves, build professionalism, learn new skills, and gain firsthand experience with what is takes to work, live , and conduct business in China.

Vericant offers a professional experience that will expose you to what it’s like to work in a fast-paced international startup. We know that you are just starting your professional journey, and we care more about your capacity to grow and learn rather than what is in your head right now.

Spend a few months building great systems, alongside great teammates.

We are looking for interns to join us in a variety of capacities in our Beijing office. Interns at Vericant are able to contribute to several areas, such as:
1. Video editing 
– First follow our system and one of our experienced video editors to learn how to do the basics of video editing within our operations department, then take ownership over independent projects for internal staff training, for operations, and for marketing.

2. Translation 
– first get up to speed with our system and our tools by translating from Chinese MP3s into English subtitles within our operations department. Then help our marketing department and our HR efforts by translating public-facing material.

3. Human Resources 
– Help us find, recruit, and select people that fit well with our company culture, and who can help us achieve our goals. You will help us organize company trainings, craft policy, and shape our company’s culture.

4. Marketing 
– Creating marketing content targeted at a Chinese or a North American audience, working in your native language.
Customer Relations – Calling clients for feedback, receiving customer inquiries, and ensuring that they are thrilled with our product. Your native language should be Chinese in order to fill this role.
