You’ll also partner with seriously talented designers to support visual design assets. Along the way, you’ll play a role in up-leveling our creative and gain a greater understanding of everything that goes into creating a show-stopping marketing campaign.

This is a paid, part-time & temporary position (18-20 hours per week) that will ideally be onsite one day a week in our Chicago office (for local candidates). The timeframe for the internships is April through early August, but we will work with the candidate to align on the specific dates.
