Winter 2027 Co-op - Social Media, North American Coffee

Winter 2027 Co-op - Social Media, North American Coffee

If your camera roll is full of screenshots of trends, you’ve ever sent a TikTok to a friend with “we need to do this,” or you can explain why a piece of content works before the comments even load…keep reading.

We’re looking for a Social Media Co-op to join our North American Coffee Marketing team and help bring some of our most-loved coffee brands to life on social.This isn’t a “sit on the sidelines and observe” kind of co-op. You’ll be part of the team creating, posting, trend-spotting, brainstorming and helping us figure out how brands can show up in culture in ways people actually want to engage with.

You’ll work across brands including Keurig®, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters®, The Original Donut Shop®, McCafé® at Home and Keurig Coffee Collective®, with opportunities to support other brands and partnerships across our coffee portfolio.

In short: you’ll help us make coffee brands worth following.

Schedule:

• The KDP Winter 2027 Co-op Program runs from January 4th through May 21st, 2027
• Location: Burlington, MA
• Full-time; 40 hours per week
• Monday-Friday
• 8:00am until 5:00pm
• Hybrid

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Create content people actually want to engage with. Help concept, shoot and create social-first content for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Shorts  -from quick-turn trends to planned brand moments.
• Be chronically online - professionally. Keep a pulse on what’s happening across social, internet culture, creators and emerging platform behaviors. Bring us the trends worth jumping on and know which ones we should probably leave alone.
• Turn trends into brand ideas. Spot an opportunity and help answer the most important question: How could our brands make this their own?
• Help run our social engine. Support content calendars, publishing, weekly planning and the day-to-day details that keep multiple social channels moving.
• Join the brainstorm. Bring ideas to the table for cultural moments, seasonal campaigns, product launches, partnerships and the random Tuesday when the internet decides everyone is suddenly obsessed with something.
• Get behind the camera and maybe in front of it. Help capture quick-turn content in the office, at events and wherever inspiration strikes. You don’t need to be an influencer, but you should be comfortable making content that feels native to social.
• Learn what makes content work. Dig into social performance and help us understand what stopped the scroll, what people shared, what sparked conversation and what we should do more of next time.
• Listen to the internet. Help us keep a pulse on what consumers are saying about coffee, our brands and culture more broadly, surfacing interesting conversations and insights back to the team.

• Lives and breathes social media and genuinely understands how people use TikTok, Instagram and emerging platforms
• Has strong creative instincts and an eye for content that feels native - not overly branded

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

By the end of your co-op, you’ll know our brands, our audiences and our social channels inside and out. You’ll be able to spot an opportunity, turn it into an idea, help bring it to life and understand whether it worked.

And ideally, you’ll leave with a camera roll full of content, a portfolio full of work you’re proud of, and a very strong opinion about what makes a good brand TikTok.
