ABOUT BOSS

ABOUT THE ROLE 

The Design and Outreach Intern makes BOSS content look consistent and reach further.  You will design graphics published on our channels, keep our community calendar current, connect with partners and track what our content achieves.  This hybrid role combines remote design and outreach work with on-site events in Berkeley and Oakland.  This is a part-time unpaid internship designed for academic credit, and BOSS will work with your school to complete any credit agreement.

  • Update the community events calendar on our Wix website 
  • Coordinate partner tagging and reshare requests for campaigns 
  • Draft weekly Google Business Profile posts 
  • Monitor comments and messages using approved responses 
  • Prepare a monthly metrics snapshot from Hootsuite and Google Analytics 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 

Brand design systems, social media analytics, partner communications and community outreach, with weekly feedback from the Marketing & Communications Manager.  You will work in Canva, Hootsuite, Google Analytics, Wix, Google Workspace and Dropbox. 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR 

  • Currently enrolled college student or recent graduate within 12 months 
  • Experience with Canva, Adobe Express or other design tools, including school or personal projects 
  • Comfort with spreadsheets and basic social media analytics is a plus 
  • Reliable, curious and respectful of people’s privacy and dignity 
  • Available 8 to 12 hours a week, including some weekday and weekend events 
  • Able to reach Berkeley and Oakland sites by transit or car 
  • Lived experience with the issues BOSS works on is valued as expertise 

HOW TO APPLY 

Submit your resume and one to three work samples through Handshake.  Samples can be links to a portfolio, design projects, schoolwork or social content.  Finalists will be invited to a 30-minute interview and a short creative task in early January.
