JUNIOR CREATIVE DIRECTOR INTERN JOB SUMMARY:

The Junior Creative Director Intern will work on diverse creative projects for physical ecommerce brands and products.

You will be working directly with the CMO and the marketing team to help develop the aesthetic vision of our brands from product design and packaging to media presence. Great art direction sensibility is a must, as is a willingness to take on tasks that may fall outside of a traditional creative director role, in order to support the entire team. You must be well organized while constantly looking for ways to improve.

Does the above describe you? Of course not. You don’t work here… yet. We can change that. Who you are is irrelevant. What we care about is who you WILL be, when given the tools, knowledge, and agency that will enable you to succeed. We need a talented team-builder with an eye for the success that sets us apart from other eCommerce businesses. Someone who’s motivated, driven, and committed enough to live up to our customers’ sky-high expectations for timeliness, accuracy, and attention to detail. If that’s not you, save us all some time and close this window. If you’re still with us… maybe those paragraphs describe you after all.
