SkillBridge - Graphic Design- BufferSprings

This is a remote position.

3-6 months (DoD SkillBridge Program)

Remote – Work from Home

Greetings fellow veteran! We’re BufferSprings, on a mission to eradicate underemployment within the military-connected community. Join our Graphic Design Internship through the DoD SkillBridge Program. If you’re a transitioning military professional with a passion for helping fellow vets and ensuring our partners excel, you’re precisely the individual we are seeking.

Recognizing the challenges of transitioning to civilian life, BufferSprings goes beyond its core mission. We stand committed to supporting veterans and their families through our “reBoot Camp” training, covering Health, Wealth, Knowledge, and Relationships. In other words, we’ve got your six to ensure you have the smoothest transition possible.

Our remote DoD SkillBridge internships provide real-world job experience, training, and skills development. We purposefully designed our program to give interns a head start on transitioning from military service to civilian employment while still enjoying the safety net of full pay and benefits from the military.

Along the way, our team is committed to helping you connect with people in your desired industry, providing world-class training, and helping you discover mentors who can help guide your career for years to come. 

We are seeking a talented and experienced Marketing Graphic Designer with expertise in Canva to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a keen eye for design, creativity, and the ability to produce engaging and visually appealing graphics that will help elevate our brand and drive business growth.

You might be a natural fit if you worked in a Public Affairs office in the military, design memes for social media, or design fliers for personal and family events.

• Collaborate with the marketing team to design and create visual content for various marketing campaigns and initiatives
  
• Develop and produce graphics for social media, email newsletters, blog posts, presentations, and other marketing collateral using Canva and other graphic design tools
  
• Work with other designers and team members to brainstorm new ideas and strategies for our marketing campaigns
  
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously
  

Open to all qualified transitioning active-duty U.S. service members, both officer and enlisted, of any rank and branch, especially those with previous military recruiting experience. Must have at least 90 days of active duty service remaining before the date of separation and have obtained approval or be in the approval process from the unit/command.

We hire for character and train for skill at BufferSprings. If you can show us you have a knack for design and can pick up new skills quickly, we can train the rest. Here are the skills we’re looking for in this role.

• Proven experience as a graphic designer with expertise in Canva (or equivalent).
  
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  
• We are a remote company, so you must be able to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
  
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  

Every BufferSprings SkillBridge intern experience includes ongoing career support and transition preparation. In addition to the training, certifications, and experience earned during their tenure, interns receive customized resume advice and LinkedIn profile training.

Components may include:

• 1-on-1 career preparation support 
  
• Group/virtual networking experiences
  
• Individual mentorship through our partner ecosystem
  
• Informational Interview guidance
  
• Position-specific resume feedback and support
  

If you’re passionate about contributing to the mission of helping BufferSprings eradicate unemployment within the military-connected community, we invite you to apply for this internship opportunity.

Wishing you a smooth transition, and rest assured, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
