Our mission is to make learning accessible to all, so to help us achieve that goal we are launching an internship programme, opening up opportunities for people who dream big and want to change the world.

We’re not looking for someone with years of experience - you might be someone looking for a total career change, a recent graduate or someone who just wants to dive into something new and make an impact.

What we’re looking for is someone who cares about our mission and wants to make a real impact on the world of education and has an appetite to learn about all things Brand Design.

What you’ll get:

What you’ll learn

In 3 months, you’ll have a good understanding of our brand identity and how we communicate with our different audiences. You will be familiar with our company mission, and our brand department’s vision. You’ll be comfortable with our company-wide processes, your role and contribution to the brand team.
In 6 months, you will feel comfortable handling multiple design requests and delivering high-quality creative assets in a timely manner, with a decreasing level of direct support from our Brand Designer. You will also have a clear understanding of the role you play in advancing our mission and the brand’s vision.
What we do

At Perlego, there are over 100 of us working hard to make education accessible to all. In this digital age, we believe that anyone should be able to learn anything at any time. Knowledge should be more accessible, not locked behind sky-high price tags.

Over the past 5 years, our goal has been to support students across the UK & Europe to access quality books. The next stage of Perlego is twofold: 1) expand our support to students globally, and 2) build a product that goes beyond the book, a platform that helps students study smarter and more effectively.

What we’re looking for

You’d be joining our Brand team, working with our current Brand Designer to support and design brand-marketing projects, our social media channels, and internal creative assets.

How we work together

Our Brand team currently sits within our Growth & Marketing function, however, it oversees all brand-related activity across the wider business with frequent collaboration with both the engineering and commercial teams. As the newest addition to our brand team, you will be working closely with our Head of Brand and Brand Designer, helping to conceive, design, and deliver external and internal creative assets.

Beyond that, you’ll play a role in the growth and development of our newest brand team. By joining IRL and remote ideation sessions, creative events, and inspiration cadences, you’ll experience what it’s like to make creativity part of your day-to-day job, from executing a small task to participating in the shaping of our brand going forward.

What you’ll do

Establishing a productive workflow and cadences with our brand designer to support the design and delivery of internal and external design requests from the business.
Help conceive and design social media content for our Instagram and LinkedIn.
Participating in ideation sessions with our Head of Brand and Brand Designer.
Supporting our TikTok strategy by joining sessions with our content creators.
