Job Description

About The Role

ROOM is a fast-paced startup looking to disrupt the existing industry by producing new digital and physical products and services that rethink tomorrow’s workspace. Our design team is on the hunt for a talented Graphic Design Intern to help translate our mission into inspiring and innovative design.

Here at ROOM, design is part of our DNA. We’re building a brand-new in-house creative studio that will support—and partner with, our Brand and Growth marketing teams. The Graphic Design Intern needs to be well-rounded and comfortable executing design projects across a range of media: print, packing, web, email, display and social channels, brand presentations, and maybe even the odd GIF.

Graphic design experience with an agency, startup or tech/CPG brand is a plus (including illustrations, icons). General understanding of both print/layout and web/digital design is preferred.

This role reports to our Digital Design Manager and is a remote paid internship.

About ROOM

Here at ROOM, we know people are the most important asset in any organization, so we put them first. We design from the perspective of our community, putting ourselves in our customers' shoes to create the space needed to bring their ideas to life. We’ve set out to launch a fast, cost-effective alternative to complex construction with modular, purpose-built architecture that allows teams to shape and then reshape their work environment with ease.

With offices around the world from New York to San Francisco, London to Berlin, Sydney and beyond, we’re seeking dynamic thinkers and doers to join us in making more room for everyone. ROOM is backed by top investors (Slow Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, and SJF Ventures) and is already building the workplace of tomorrow for over 4,500 customers ranging from budding startups to Fortune 500 companies. We’ve been recognized by Interior Design Magazine as a 2021 NYC x Design Awards Finalist, by Fast Company in its 2020 ‘Most Innovative’ Awards, and named one of the Best Inventions of 2018 by TIME Magazine.
