UNC Charlotte Dining Services is looking for a Graphic Design Intern to support marketing and brand execution across campus dining locations. This role is ideal for a proactive, growth-minded designer who wants real-world experience, fast-paced projects, and a strong portfolio coming out of it.

This is not a passive role. You’ll be designing assets that students actually see, use, and engage with.

What You’ll Do

  • Design marketing and promotional materials including social media graphics, posters, menus, digital signage, stickers, banners, t-shirts, and event collateral
  • Support marketing campaigns from concept to execution
  • Assist with on-campus events as needed to help ensure branding is executed correctly (some evening or weekend work may be required)
  • Collaborate with the marketing team to maintain brand consistency across platforms
  • Incorporate feedback efficiently and apply revisions quickly
  • Organize and maintain creative assets and files
  • Occasionally assist with photography for events, food features, or marketing content (preferred skill)

What We’re Looking For

  • Basic working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
  • Strong understanding of design fundamentals including typography, color, layout, and hierarchy
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple deadlines
  • Detail-oriented with strong communication skills
  • Self-driven, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of projects
  • Open to feedback and able to apply critique constructively
  • Willingness to support events when required

Bonus (Not Required, But a Plus)

  • Photography experience
  • Experience designing for social media or digital platforms
  • Interest in branding, marketing, or creative strategy

Why This Role

  • Hands-on experience with real campaigns, not mock projects
  • Portfolio-building work across digital, print, and experiential marketing
  • Exposure to a high-visibility campus brand and cross-functional collaboration
  • Opportunity to grow creatively and professionally in a structured marketing environment
