About Hybrid Atlantic
Hybrid Atlantic is a boutique strategic advisory practice working at the intersection of political intelligence, strategic communications, geopolitical foresight, reputation, and technology-enabled monitoring.
We help organizations understand complex information environments, identify emerging narratives and risks, and communicate with clarity in moments shaped by politics, public opinion, regulation, technology, and trust. Our work combines open-source research, narrative analysis, geopolitical judgment, strategic writing, and AI-enabled tools.
Hybrid Atlantic is also developing technology initiatives, including Sentinel by Hybrid Atlantic, a monitoring workspace for tracking signals, narratives, actors, and briefing material across the information environment, and Augur, a forthcoming foresight and scenario-testing product.
About the role
Hybrid Atlantic is seeking a sharp, highly reliable Social Media & Strategic Communications Intern to support the firm’s public presence, with a particular focus on LinkedIn and professional social media strategy.
We are looking for someone who can help translate complex ideas into clear, credible, and engaging public-facing content. The intern will support content planning, drafting, platform adaptation, basic analytics, and research on the conversations shaping our fields: strategic communications, geopolitical risk, disinformation, AI governance, reputation, public affairs, and technology-enabled intelligence.
The role is designed for someone who wants to learn how a boutique advisory practice builds authority, trust, and visibility in a serious professional market.
What you will work on
The intern may support work including:

- Helping adapt content for other platforms, including X/Twitter, Instagram, newsletters, or short-form formats.
- Supporting a social media content calendar tied to Hybrid Atlantic’s services, insights, announcements, and technology roadmap.
- Researching timely news, reports, public debates, and industry conversations that could inform strong content.
- Studying how advisory firms, think tanks, political-risk companies, AI-governance organizations, and public-affairs actors communicate online.
- Helping develop content around political intelligence, geopolitical foresight, reputation, disinformation, AI governance, strategic communications, Sentinel by Hybrid Atlantic, and Augur.
- Drafting basic visual concepts, carousel outlines, or content briefs using tools such as Canva, Figma, or similar platforms.
- Monitoring engagement and helping identify which themes, formats, and messages are most effective.
- Contributing ideas to strengthen Hybrid Atlantic’s voice, audience growth, and brand clarity.

- Interest in strategic communications, geopolitics, AI, reputation management, public affairs, international relations, or disinformation.
- Ability to research unfamiliar topics and identify what is relevant, credible, and timely.
- A good instinct for tone.
- Basic understanding of digital marketing, audience engagement, content planning, or social media analytics.
