In this program, you’ll learn how we shape Faire’s product alongside team members across content strategy, design research, engineering, product, and customer service. You'll build relationships with your product team and partner on designing features and experiences for a strategic pillar of our product. As a design intern, you'll learn our customers’ challenges and craft flows that help people move through our products with confidence.

We’re looking for design interns that have interest in spanning the entire product development lifecycle, come with a growth mentality, and bring a genuine desire to learn about our customers.

This role can be based in San Francisco, CA, Los Angeles, CA, New York City, NY, Atlanta, GA, Toronto, ON, Kitchener, ON or remote.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with partners across product and engineering to define, build, and release new products and features.

• Develop and deliver well-documented, high-fidelity visuals that accurately represent Faire’s brand and design system standards.
• Help conduct and participate in user interviews and research to better understand customer needs.
• Contribute critical thinking to product features and roadmap.
• Contribute to and positively shape the Faire internship program through collaboration, feedback, and process iteration.

Qualifications

• Stellar communication skills. You present design decisions and processes clearly and confidently, regardless of audience.
• A collaborative approach. You’re an excellent partner to other designers, interns, and your cross-functional teammates.
• A growth-mindset. You’re open and receptive to feedback, and can adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
• A sense of humor. We spend a lot of time together—sharing gifs and laughing over lunch keeps us energized and inspired throughout the day.

Education

• Must be working towards or completed a Bachelor’s Degree in a design, research, or computer science related field.

We value candidates that bring a range of experience from different experiences, educational backgrounds, and a variety of creative influences.
