Graphic Design Intern, CUBIC (Unpaid-Part time, Home based)

The Opportunity

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organization for children, working in 117 countries with more than 25,000 staff. In April 2020, Save the Children launched the Center for Utilizing Behavioral Insights for Children (CUBIC) in Asia. CUBIC is the first “nudge unit” in the world to focus specifically on the most marginalized children’s rights and welfare. We are a dynamic team, with ambitious goals to apply behavioral science in order to reach more children and have an even greater impact on their lives.

CUBIC is seeking an early career graphic design intern to support our Design Associate. High quality design is a central part of CUBIC’s offering to clients and partners, and we seek to maintain these standards across everything we produce – from behavioral protypes to presentations and reports.

Key Responsibilities

The intern will be integrated into the 13-person CUBIC team and will have the opportunity to get involved in multiple projects – the expectation for the intern is that s/he would primarily contribute to:

1. Project summary presentations
2. Business development pitches/ proposals
3. Communications product design
4. Social media post design
5. Proofreading final design output where required

Skills Required

• Enrolled in/or recent graduate of design qualification/ early career in design and communication
• Interest and experience in using design for charity communications or social enterprise
• Experience of developing communication products
• Experience with Adobe (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) and Microsoft packages (specifically PowerPoint) content marketing strategies
• Excellent written communication skills (English language)
• Strong collaboration and teamwork skills
• Animation skills are desirable

Time Requirements

Part time internship – appropriate for students/recent graduates. Expectation is for 8-12 hours a week, for a minimum of 6 months.

Conditions

The intern would be engaged on a voluntary basis (non-paid) and would sign a volunteer contract with Save the Children. The working schedule would be determined by the intern; however, attendance during regular team calls and calls with our country partner teams would be important

The Organisation

We employ approximately 25,000 people across the globe and work on the ground in over 100 countries to help children affected by crises, or those that need better healthcare, education and child protection. We also campaign and advocate at the highest levels to realise the right of children and to ensure their voices are heard.

We are working towards three breakthroughs in how the world treats children by 2030:

• No child dies from preventable causes before their 5th birthday
• All children learn from a quality basic education and that,
• Violence against children is no longer tolerated

We know that great people make a great organization, and that our employees play a crucial role in helping us achieve our ambitions for children. We value our people and offer a meaningful and rewarding career, along with a collaborative and inclusive workplace where ambition, creativity, and integrity are highly valued.
