Marketing Intern (Content & Social)
The boats are here. The sea trials happen. Almost none of it reaches a feed. JJ Marine is the official Jeanneau dealer in the UAE, and we are looking for a Marketing Intern to change that: shoot, edit and publish the short-form video, with genuine ownership of the output. On-site at Dubai Marina, around your studies.
Three things: your best work, three ideas, and a one-page CV.

The Role
Short-form video with genuine ownership of the output, for the official Jeanneau dealer in the UAE.
- Shoot on location: at the marina, aboard the boats, at viewings and deliveries
- Film and direct our CEO on camera to a professional standard
- Edit the complete short-form video: Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts
- Publish, write captions, and report on performance
- Produce creative for our paid campaigns, and propose your own concepts
What the Week Looks Like
One or two shoot days at the marina, and the rest of the week editing on your own schedule. On a shoot day you have the keys, the helm and the boat to yourself before a client arrives. You will film sea trials from the water, and you will meet the buyers. The fleet runs from a first day boat someone has saved two years for to a multi-million-dirham flagship, and both get the same attention.
Where We Would Start
- Boat walkthroughs
- Behind the scenes at the marina
- CEO explainers on what actually matters when you buy
- Clean footage with a price attached
- Trending audio and the formats that are working right now
That list is a starting point, not a brief. We are hiring on ideas as much as execution, and we expect the first month to change it.
Requirements
We assess the work, not the qualification.
- Student, recent graduate, or self-taught.
- A reel or portfolio. Personal projects and social content are acceptable
- Competent in at least one editing suite: Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut, CapCut, or equivalent
- A working understanding of why short-form video holds attention
- Comfortable directing someone more senior on camera
- Based in Dubai, with the right to work or intern in the UAE
- Fluent English. Arabic or Russian an advantage
Advantageous
Photography · Motion graphics · Drone experience · An interest in boats · A UAE driving licence
Terms
Set out here, not discovered on a call.
- About 20 hours a week, scheduled around your studies. No fixed roster
- The first month is an unpaid trial. Transport, shoot-day meals, equipment and software are covered from day one
- At the one-month review the role converts to a paid stipend of AED 2,500 per month
- Camera, audio, lighting and editing software provided
- A written reference at the end of the internship
- You work directly with the Technical Lead and CEO. No approval chain
- Work produced in the role is owned by JJ Marine. You keep full portfolio rights to show it, in writing
- Client identities and any price under negotiation are confidential, on and off camera
- Nobody appears in published content without their consent, clients and staff alike
Progression
What this could become, stated honestly.
JJ Marine is building a permanent function here rather than covering a gap. The account should still be running long after this internship ends, and we would rather it was run by someone who built it.
If the work lands, the role grows past content into client relations and sales. That is not a stretch: the person making the videos already knows the boats, has been aboard them, and has met the buyers. Very few people in this business arrive with both.
None of that is promised. There is no date attached to it, no salary attached to it, and no guarantee the internship converts into anything. The internship itself is content work only, on the terms set out above.
How to Apply
About two weeks end to end. We respond to every applicant.
Send three things:
- Your best work. A showreel, or up to three links. Personal projects, social content and university work all count. Vertical short-form is more useful than a polished long edit
- Three ideas you would shoot in your first month, one line each. This is the part we read closest
- Your CV, one page
Then: a 20-minute video call, a short practical brief (capped at two hours), and half a day at the marina with the camera. A written decision follows within three working days. If you require any adjustment to this process, tell us in your application and we will arrange it.
Your application data is used only to assess your application, kept for 12 months, then deleted. Every application is reviewed by a person. Questions or deletion requests: jaamaabruno@gmail.com.
الأسئلة الشائعة
Is the JJ Marine marketing internship paid?
The first month is an unpaid trial, stated up front. Transport to shoots, meals on full shoot days, and all equipment and software are covered from day one. At the one-month review, if the content is performing, the role converts to a paid stipend of AED 2,500 per month.
Do I need a degree or a marketing qualification to apply?
No. Students, recent graduates and the self-taught are all welcome. We assess the work, not the qualification: what matters is a reel or portfolio, competence in at least one editing suite, and a working understanding of why short-form video holds attention.
How many hours a week is the internship?
Approximately 20 hours per week, with no fixed roster. In practice that is one or two shoot days at the marina plus editing time you schedule yourself. Provide your timetable and the week is built around your studies.
How do I apply for the marketing intern role at JJ Marine?
Apply through the form on this site and send three things. Your best work: a showreel, or up to three links. Personal projects, social content and university work all count, and vertical short-form is more useful than a polished long edit. Three ideas you would shoot in your first month, one line each, which is the part we read closest. And your CV, one page. The whole process runs roughly two weeks end to end, and we respond to every applicant.
Can the marketing internship lead to a permanent role at JJ Marine?
It might. JJ Marine is building a permanent function here rather than covering a gap. If the work lands, the role grows past content into client relations and sales, because the person making the videos already knows the boats and has met the buyers. None of that is promised, there is no date attached to it, and the internship itself is content work only.
