Product Design Intern

Product Design Intern, Design Systems

We are looking for one final rising star to join us as a designer on our Design Systems team at Wise for a ten week paid internship programme in Summer 2023. This is a unique opportunity to work with the team behind our recent successful rebrand.

You’ll be part of Wise’s global mission to build an open, fair, and human financial system. Because people without borders need money without borders.

Your mission: 

You’ll be paired with a Wiser sponsor in our Design Systems team, collaborating with other Wisers and fellow interns on cross-functional projects. We plan quarterly, and your mission will be mapped out with your sponsor in June - while still leaving plenty of room for you to contribute to your scope.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• You’ve got a portfolio that demonstrates a mix of well-crafted and user centred work, bonus if you have design system examples
• You have an understanding of design systems and component libraries
• You have skills in Figma and understand how components and styles work
• Strong visual design skills and a passion for finding solutions that allow designers to use our system in a way that improves our customer experience
• You’re able to clearly rationalise your decisions to other team members
• You’re curious about learning from user testing and iterating on your work

Here’s how you’ll be contributing:

• You’ll get to know Wise customers, building empathy and deep understanding of their needs
• You’ll be honing and flexing your craft skills in a collaborative environment
• You’ll be connecting with your sponsor, fellow interns, and the broader User Experience Design community to inject fresh creative thinking into the business

Your takeaways: 

• Meet with some of the most influential people at Wise on this programme
• Contribute to the Wise mission in a collaborative, supportive environment
• Be mentored by a discipline expert
• Develop your craft and experiment in a live environment
• Share back your work post internship with your programme
• A competitive internship salary
