WHO YOU ARE:

A detail-oriented and creative Graphic Design Intern excited to support Zinnia’s mission of modernizing the Life and Annuity experience through clear, consistent, and impactful design. You’re eager to learn from experienced designers, collaborate across teams, and translate strategy into strong visual storytelling.

  • Collaborate with the production team to bring the brand to life through motion graphics and short-form video.
  • Work closely with copy and ensure all design deliverables are accurate, consistent, and easy to understand.
  • Create reusable templates, organize design files, and maintain clear naming conventions and version control.
  • Gather feedback from stakeholders, implement revisions efficiently, and document lessons learned for future projects.
  • Support continuous improvement of brand systems by contributing ideas, tools, and visual standards that scale across teams.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in graphic design as a full-time junior or senior undergraduate student.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a high bar for accuracy, especially with copy-heavy designs.
  • Strong understanding of and adherence to brand guidelines with discipline and good judgment.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills—listening, asking clarifying questions, and sharing progress clearly.
  • Proficiency in Google Workspace (Slides, Sheets, Docs) and comfort designing directly within these tools.
  • Strong skills in Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and experience making clean edits to existing files.
  • Familiarity with Figma and website design best practices.
  • Curiosity for efficiency—using templates, keyboard shortcuts, and light automation to speed up workflows.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
