    Description

    We are seeking a multidisciplinary Creative Generalist Intern to support brand, content, and campaign work across the organisation. The successful candidate will contribute to graphic design, video production, and marketing strategy, working as a single, versatile contributor rather than within a narrowly defined specialism.

    This position is well suited to an early-career creative who is building breadth across disciplines and who wants meaningful exposure to how brand and marketing decisions are made and executed.

    Essential Requirements

    • Demonstrable design ability, evidenced by a portfolio of completed work
    • Working proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and a video editing suite (Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent)
    • Strong visual judgement — the ability to assess creative quality and articulate the reasoning behind design decisions
    • Proven capacity to deliver quality work to deadline in a fast-moving environment
    • Clear written and verbal communication in English
    • Candidates with equivalent self-directed experience and a strong portfolio will be considered

    Attributes

    We place particular weight on the following:

    • Judgement and taste. An instinct for what constitutes strong work, and the confidence to defend it.
    • Composure. The ability to remain effective when timelines compress or requirements change.
    • Ownership. Reliable follow-through without close supervision.
    • Curiosity. A habit of asking who the work is for before beginning it.

    What we offer

    • Direct mentorship from the Marketing Manager, with structured feedback and review
    • Exposure to brand strategy, campaign planning, and stakeholder engagement
    • A portfolio of published, real-world work
    • Certificate of participation and future reference where needed
