Junior Graphic Designer Internship – Summer 2024


WHM Creative – June 3rd – August 9th – Oakland, CA


This is an ON-SITE HYBRID position; you must be able to work primarily from our office in downtown Oakland. To apply, please submit your CV, portfolio, and cover letter to internjobs@whmcreative.com by Wednesday, May 10th. 



At WHM, we believe in 4 things: 


Good People. Hard Work. Creative Genius. Happy Clients. 


We’ve got a good thing going – ridding the B2B world of blah, boring marketing. We want to keep the fresh ideas and smart solutions coming. And we want your help doing it.



What We’re Looking For 


Do you live – and design – for the unexpected? Are you a DIY self-starter and problem-solver with a knack for visual expression? Do you love clever creative, surprising ads, bold branding? Want to start making some of it yourself? 


If you’re ready to dive headfirst into the marketing and agency world, WHM is on the hunt for our next great Design Intern – as part of a 10-week internship program, Summer 2024, in beautiful downtown Oakland. In this paid, full-time hybrid position – Tu/W/Th in-office, M/F remote – you’ll be working closely with our in-house design team to deliver a variety of strategically strong, visually smart solutions to clients all across B2B tech: Think data analytics, cybersecurity, and everyone’s new best friend, artificial intelligence.


It’s a fast-paced role – you’ll need to ramp up quick, think on your feet, and juggle multiple projects, deadlines, and budgets. If you’re a proactive, creative thinker, with an eye for detail and a mind for the technical, come join our talented, caring, only marginally nerdy team.



Key Responsibilities 


  • Work with our account, design, and copy teams to create compelling designs, brand expressions,  ad campaigns, and other day-to-day marketing deliverables 
  • Assist the agency with our own internal marketing and social media
  • Shadow team members across design and other key functional areas 
  • Provide support in various other “interny” duties as needed – background research, agency Lunch-and-Learns, and maybe a theme party or two



Minimum Qualifications 


  • Incoming college junior, senior, or recent graduate with a major in Graphic Design, Visual Design, Art, or other relevant major
  • Portfolio demonstrating design and composition skills, as well as technical proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (the latest in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign)
  • Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills, demonstrating high attention to detail 
  • Strong organizational skills, including multitasking and time management: Able to focus, take initiative, manage time efficiently, and consistently set proper expectations to hit deadlines 
  • Strong interpersonal skills, the ability to build effective working relationships, basic human kindness, and a sense of humor don’t hurt
  • Ability to learn quickly and produce high-quality work in short periods of time 



Ideal Qualifications 


  • Deep understanding of fundamental design principles for both web and print – including typography,  composition, color, use of space, and hierarchy of information 
  • Ability to articulate concepts, designs, and layouts – communicating your creative vision to the entire team
  • Advanced understanding of digital optimization for web assets 
  • Passion for data, technology, and creativity 
  • Strong interest in marketing, business, and advertising 
  • Self-motivated, self-starter attitude 
  • Strong presentation skills and the ability to quickly implement feedback from multiple sources
  • Knowledge of Figma and AfterEffects is a plus 



COMPENSATION: $22/hour full time, temporary employee, non-exempt 


LOCATION: Oakland, CA (steps from 19th St. BART) 


Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for company sponsorship for employment visa status. Applicants who do not live locally must secure and pay for their own housing and all other expenses. 


All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, physical or mental disability, medical condition, or any other characteristic protected by local law, regulation, or ordinance. 



Our mission is to rid the B2B marketing world of “blah.”  


WHM is a small but mighty team of marketing strategists, creative visionaries, designers, writers, and account managers who solve tech’s trickiest problems with smart, strategic, surprising solutions.


We run from run-of-the-mill. We’ve got no time for lazy marketing, and no tolerance for the safe, boring, or jargony. We aim high, with unexpected, educated, and compelling creative. We’re driven by our curiosity – the hard facts, the raw data, the story behind the story, and what’s going on in customers’ heads. We transform all that knowledge and all our know-how into the bold and insightful. We’re hyper-focused on doing right by our clients, doing the best work possible, and doing what we can to support each other, day in and day out. There’s usually at least one cute dog around.
