Product Design Internship Programme Summer 2022

We are looking for Product Design Interns to #JoinTheBand this Summer. You are someone who is passionate about developing strategies based on insights of real people, is interested in mastering your craft to turn insights into appealingly designed products (both interactions and visuals), and seeks to encourage the organisation by showing/prototyping what is possible before it is built. Above all, your work will affect the way the world experiences audio content.

What you'll do

• Work on design projects across the entire product lifecycle. Let users lead the way. Our users inform where we are going. Our teams focus on listening to users and letting their needs guide us to the best solutions. It’s important for us to know we are solving for real people and not just the loudest voice in the room.
• Work with small multi-disciplinary teams. You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, and business folks to find elegant but practical solutions to craft challenges. You’ll supply ideas to develop the right product strategy. Together, you’ll tackle problems and come up with solutions that delight our users.
• Produce concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes. 

Who you are

• You are pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or a bootcamp certification in Graphic Design, Human Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field of study.
• You have a graduation date of 2022 or 2023.
• You currently have valid work authorization to work in the country in which this role is based that will extend from June to August 2022.
• You’re a great communicator. You have the communication skills to help set up frameworks and brainstorm initial design concepts.
• You are constantly looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback, whether through hands-on user research or by designing options for an A/B test.
• You have an online portfolio or PDF that you can share with us and have some projects that you can tell us about. 

Where you'll be

• We are a distributed workforce enabling our band members to find a work mode that is best for them!
• Where in the world? For this role, it can be within the EMEA region in which we have a work location and is within working hours. 
• Working hours? We operate within the Central European and GMT time zones for collaboration and ask that all be located that time zone. 
• Prefer an office to work from home instead? Not a problem! We have plenty of options for your working preferences. Find more information about our Work From Anywhere options here.

• All The Feels, our employee assistance program and self-care hub.

• Flexible public holidays, swap days off according to your values and beliefs.
