Job Description

About Us

At FinLit, we live by the ethos of "Make Impact Fun." We believe financial knowledge should be simple, honest and empowering, not confusing, boring or gatekept.

We turn complex topics like financial literacy, investing, economics, entrepreneurship, adulting, politics and current events into content people actually finish, share and act on. You will find us on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and beyond.

But we do not just live online. Through community events and real conversations, we bring our audience together and turn knowledge into action.

Mr Money TV is our biggest brand, over 115,000 followers strong, on a mission to help Malaysians reach their first RM100,000. That is where most of your work will live, alongside our other brands.

And now we are looking for an intern who wants to learn how this is really done.

Social Media & Content Intern

If you already send your friends five reels a day and have opinions about why one of them blew up, you will feel at home here.

This is not a fetch-coffee internship and it is not a mock project. You will work on content that actually goes out, to an audience of hundreds of thousands, in your first few weeks. You will research real topics, write real posts, design them, cut quick videos, and then find out what the numbers thought of your work.

The topics are big: money, business, the economy, politics, the whole messy business of adulting, and whatever is actually happening in Malaysia this week. If it touches how Malaysians make, keep or lose money, it is fair game.

The fun part is the translation. Taking something that sounds dry on paper and finding the angle that makes a 28 year old in Puchong stop scrolling and think about their own money. It is a genuinely hard skill, and you will get better at it fast here.

What You'll Be Doing

🧠 Ideas, Trends and Research

• Scout topics and bring ideas to the table. Yours count, even in week one.
• Live in the feed. Spot trends early and work out how they could fit our brand and our message.
• Dig into topics properly. Ask the second question, then go and find the answer.
• Every number we publish carries a source and the year the data comes from, and you will learn to work that way from the start.

✍️ Writing and Storytelling

• Write carousels, reel scripts, captions and stories, with feedback from the team as you go.
• Turn research and rough ideas into stories people want to finish and send to a friend.

🎨 Design and Visuals

• Design posts and carousels in Canva using our brand templates.
• Learn what makes a layout support the words instead of fighting them.

🎬 Video and Events

• Do the simple edits yourself. Quick, scrappy, brainrot style cuts that need to be out today, not next week.
• Tag along to events and shoots. Capture stories, footage and behind the scenes moments, and help keep the library tidy so we can use it again.
• See someone interesting walk into the office? Come and tell us, or grab them yourself.

💬 Community

• Help reply to comments and DMs like a person, not a brand account.
• Notice what the audience keeps asking about, and turn it into content ideas.

📊 Growth and Numbers

• Track how each piece performed and help us spot the pattern.
• Go back through what already worked well and find ways to get more out of it.

🤝 Brand Campaigns

• We work with real clients. You get to sit in on how we hit a brand's objective while still sounding like ourselves.
• Very few interns get to see this side of the business up close.

Job Requirements

Join us if you are:

• Genuinely curious about money and the real world - You already read about this stuff. Business, investing, the economy, the realities of adulting, what is happening in the country. You ask questions because you want to know.
• A creative storyteller - You like writing, and you can take a complicated idea and make it land in fifteen slides or sixty seconds. Good command of English and a feel for rhythm and pacing.
• Naturally in tune with social media - You know hooks, formats and pacing, and you can explain why a post worked, not just that it did.
• A creative problem solver - Full of ideas, quick on your feet. The shoot falls through, you help find another way.
• A clear communicator - You ask when a brief is fuzzy instead of guessing, and you take feedback well.
• Organised with your workflow - Timelines, files, folders. Nothing disappears into a black hole of unnamed files with you.
• Someone who measures what matters - Likes are nice. Saves, shares, watch time and follower growth are the ones that tell you something true.
• Someone who treats a flop as information - Not every post lands. The ones that miss usually teach you more than the ones that fly. You take the lesson and get on with the next one instead of taking it personally.
• Energised by a fast pace and a steep learning curve - We move quickly and you will be given real work early. If that sounds like the exciting part rather than the scary part, you will love it here.
• Handy with the tools, or fast at picking them up - Canva for design, CapCut for quick edits, and comfortable using AI to move faster while still checking what it gives you.

You do not need previous work experience. Personal projects, coursework, your own account, or something you made for a club all count.

What You'll Learn

🚀 How a real media brand actually grows, not the theory version. 

🎯 How to turn a dry, complicated topic into something people share. 

💡 How to write about adulting and money so it feels like a friend talking, not a lecture. 

📈 How to read data and let it change what you make next. 

🤝 What it takes to deliver for a client without losing your own voice. 

🎬 Content from end to end: idea, research, script, design, publish, learn. 

⚡ And how much you can pick up in a few months when you are close to the work instead of watching it.

Why Join Us?

You will be making real content from day one. Not theory, not mock briefs. Actual posts, actual events, actual audiences.

You get room to experiment and to bring your own ideas. If you have one, you do not need to win a committee over, you just need to make a good case for it.

The pace is quick and the learning curve is steep, and that is the best part of the deal. Feedback comes fast and straight, so you will improve in a few months what might take a year somewhere slower.

And your work will not sit in a folder. Hundreds of thousands of Malaysians will see it, and some of them will do something different with their money because of it. You will leave with a portfolio of work that actually ran.

One more thing, because it is part of why this is fun: we have opinions about what we will not do. No stock tips. No taking money to pump anything. No party politics, though we will go hard at policy when it hits people's wallets. And we never talk down to someone who feels behind on money, because most of our audience does.

Send us the following at career@finlitmedia.co:

2. A short note on why you want to build this with us.
