Job Description

The Junior Art Director Intern supports the development of visual concepts and campaign ideas across multiple media channels. This is a design-first role created for high-caliber designers looking to bridge the gap into Art Direction. While you will build conceptual thinking and campaign skills, your primary focus will be on high-volume, hands-on design and execution.

Working closely with Copywriters and Creative Directors, you will translate briefs into visually compelling, brand-aligned work within a regulated healthcare environment. Success in this role is measured first by the quality of your design craft, followed by the strength of your ideas, your responsiveness to feedback, and your alignment with strategic objectives.

Internship Term: May - August, 2026

What You’ll Do

• Develop visual concepts and campaign ideas across digital, social, print, and video based on approved creative briefs and messaging platforms.
• Design layouts, storyboards, mockups, and presentation materials using Adobe Creative Suite aligned to brand guidelines.
• Collaborate with Copywriters, Strategists, and Medical partners to ensure concepts meet regulatory and brand requirements.
• Participate in internal creative reviews, presenting visual rationale grounded in strategy and audience insight.
• Revise and refine creative assets based on Creative Director and stakeholder feedback while managing versions and deadlines.

Qualifications

Required:

• Portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking and visual execution across at least 2 mediums (e.g., digital, print, video), with clear explanation of idea and objective.
• Graduating by April 2026 or graduated within the past two years from a post-secondary program in Advertising, Graphic Design, Digital Media, Communications, or related field, with a portfolio of 4+ projects.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) demonstrated through completed design work; exposure to motion tools such as After Effects is an asset.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret a creative brief and translate strategy into visual direction, evidenced through coursework or internship projects.
• Experience managing multiple assignments or deadlines through academic, freelance, or collaborative team projects.

Desired:

• Comfort and enthusiasm for using AI as a regular part of how work gets done.
• Experience creating storyboards, wireframes, or campaign mockups that show progression from concept to execution.
• Exposure to healthcare, science, or regulated industries through coursework or portfolio work.
• Experience collaborating in team-based creative environments with clearly defined contributions.
• Familiarity with brand guidelines and structured feedback processes demonstrated through portfolio examples.
