UX/UI Design Internship

Internship length: 4 months

ABOUT GO UP

We’re a digital marketing agency based in Shoreditch (London), celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year. We help ambitious brands to maximise their online potential and to connect with consumers across the digital landscape.

We’re a relatively small agency doing very big things. Our success rate with clients is high, and we enjoy the luxury of being able to choose who we work with. We wish to remain small, with a philosophy of doing incredible jobs on a smaller number of clients that are fun and rewarding to work for.

Our mission statement is clear – Do Good Work With Good People For Good People. Our recent partnership with Forest Green Rovers, the World’s Greenest Football Club ™ will help us achieve that ambition, keeping us focused and inspiring us to do better. As part of the agency’s new green roadmap, the company intends to add a roster of new global green and social impact clients.

We are proud to be an agency that develops its team through trust and sharing real responsibility from day one. Go Up hires the best people, supports those people, and trusts those people.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

A talented graphic designer/design graduate who is looking to start their career in the UX/UI field. Working closely with our Creative Director and Head of UX, you will be learning all aspects of the user-centred design process within the SEO landscape.

You need to be a team player who is willing to work in a fast-paced agency environment, dealing with various tasks and handling multiple projects simultaneously.

The ideal candidate would take ownership of each project/task, communicate independently with key members to deliver tasks within the set timeframes.

There is a potential to be hired at the end of the internship, however, this would depend on the candidate meeting the necessary requirements. This decision will be made at least two weeks prior to the end of the internship.
