Bushbalm is The Bikini Line Skincare Experts, on a mission to be the go-to solution for ingrown hairs, dark spots, and razor bumps—everywhere on the body. We create effective, results-driven products that help people feel confident in their skin, from the bikini line to underarms and beyond.

Born in Ottawa, we’ve grown from a bold idea to one of the city’s most exciting startups—securing a deal on Dragons’ Den and ranking among Ottawa’s fastest-growing companies. With a powerhouse eCommerce presence, a rapidly expanding retail footprint, and a strong network of waxing professionals, we’re disrupting the skincare industry in a big way. At Bushbalm, you’ll join a fast-moving, passionate team where innovation, collaboration, and career growth go hand in hand.

If you're ready to make an impact, we’d love to meet you!

• Be part of a rapidly growing and innovative skincare brand making waves in the beauty industry.
• Work in a collaborative and fun environment that values creativity and fresh ideas.
• Gain strong opportunities for career growth and professional development.
• Help expand a brand that is available in Ulta Beauty locations nationwide and 27,000+ waxing salons.

The Social Media Intern helps bring Bushbalm to life on Instagram and Tik Tok, working closely with the Social Media Strategist. This is a support-and-ownership hybrid role: the intern independently owns community management and trend monitoring, while actively contributing to content creation — from ideation and briefing through shooting, editing, and caption writing. Over time, the role grows to include more strategic ideation and brief-building.

The ideal candidate lives and breathes social media, is a confident and organized self-starter, and is excited to help Bushbalm show up online with a playful, skincare-smart voice.

The Social Media Intern is a vacant role. The hourly wage for this role is $18 per hour.

• Submit all content for Strategist review and approval before publishing

• Monitor tags, mentions, and branded hashtags across Instagram and Tik Tok, flagging and saving strong user-generated content for potential resharing

• In-office support for marketing shipments

• Assist with scheduling and publishing content as directed by the Strategist

• Contribute observations on what’s resonating to the weekly performance review

• Strong understanding of social media platforms (Instagram, Tik Tok) and current best practices
• Currently studying, or recently graduated in, Marketing, Communications, or a related field
