UX Research Intern

About Parcelbound Media:

Parcelbound Media is an independent agency with 670 employees in offices across the US. Our clients include consumer packaged goods companies, health systems, automakers and retailers.

About the role:

This is a product design role, which means user flows, edge cases and empty states, not just nice-looking screens. Remote position. Most of the team is in Milwaukee, but nobody is required to come in.

Responsibilities:

• Organise Figma files and pages so other people can find things
• Build and update components in the shared design system
• Design empty states, error messages and loading screens that are often missed
• Check designs for accessibility, including contrast, font sizes and tap targets
• Run remote usability tests over Zoom or Google Meet and summarise what users struggled with
• Write short UX copy for buttons, tooltips and onboarding steps
• Create wireframes, user flows and high-fidelity screens in Figma

Who can apply:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Must be online for at least 3 hours of overlap with the team each weekday
• Portfolio with at least two case studies showing your process, not just final screens
• Understanding of basic UX principles: hierarchy, consistency, feedback and accessibility

Bonus points:

• Familiarity with Material Design and iOS guidelines
• Google UX Design Certificate or a similar course

What you'll learn:

• Working inside a real design system instead of starting from scratch
• A few strong case studies for your portfolio by the end
• You will see your designs built and released to real users
