Junior Designer Intern

Pursuit is seeking a Junior Designer Intern to support the creative team across social media, brand design, events, web, and content production. Reporting to the Head of Creative, this person will use AI tools and other software to execute a wide range of creative projects spanning print and digital design, photography, video, social, and website updates.

This is a highly executional, production-focused design role ideal for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, and excited to work across fast-moving creative workflows.

The role will support organization-wide storytelling through not just design, but also photographing and documenting events, capturing behind-the-scenes content, assisting with photoshoots, video production during evening or off-site events as needed.

The ideal candidate is someone with strong technical design skills, good visual judgment, and the ability to balance speed, organization, and consistency across many simultaneous projects. We would especially prioritize someone interested in AI-assisted creative workflows and modern content production tools as Pursuit is an AI-native organization.

This role is critical to supporting Pursuit’s meaningful mission as we continue building for the AI-first economy.
