Design Intern
Work & Co, part of Accenture Song, is a global design and technology company with offices in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. We're known for uniting the industry’s best hands-on strategy, product and technical talent to generate tangible impact at scale. Client partners include IKEA, Apple, PGA TOUR, Gatorade, Google, Mercedes, Givenchy, the MTA and more. As Fast Company noted, our engineering and design teams are routinely entrusted with creating digital products for companies which rarely approach outside firms. Forrester Research calls our approach “a model to follow.” Visit work.co to learn more.
We look for designers who believe there are no boundaries between form and function, and who think the feel of a product should come from extensive prototyping. Work & Co designers are basically strategists with a visual output.
Creating digital products is a team game. Our methodology emphasizes intense collaboration, early prototyping and testing, and so many iterations you’ll lose count. Designers work closely with product managers, strategists, and developers to create digital products and services that reshape industries.
Our design interns work on client projects with larger cross-functional teams. You will have an opportunity to collaborate with our top talent, while producing work that will be seen by multiple stakeholders and senior company partners. Work & Co internships are typically 12 weeks long. At the conclusion of the internship, interns are evaluated for a full-time position within the company.
