Job Description

P&G Design is a group of world-class design thinkers and practitioners across multiple design disciplines including graphic, industrial, innovation, digital, fashion and more. Whether it’s refreshing a brand identity, crafting a new 3D shape for an iconic brand, or designing a new app, design is at the heart of meeting the needs of today’s consumers.

As a Design Co-op, you are responsible for crafting excellent design solutions that support the brand strategy and business objectives. All of our co-op roles will include hands-on design along with envisioning, and executing solutions for packaging, product and digital contexts.

Available Roles

1. Graphic Design Co-op: This role amplifies and executes the visual expression of a brand and how it comes to life across touchpoints (including packaging, in-store, digital/social, etc). You will partner with creative leaders, agency partners, and marketers to influence brand and design strategies and create extraordinary design solutions. You will work through all parts of the design process, assessing the landscape, brainstorming, and continuing through design and content creation. Creative thinking, project management, and collaboration with multi-functional teams are an important part of this role. We look for majors/degrees in Graphic Design, Fashion Design, or Textile Design for these roles.
2. Industrial Design Co-op: This role involves the development of package, device, and delivery systems ranging from ground-breaking innovations to reinventing key products. You will partner with engineers and technologists to deliver P&G’s innovation pipeline. You will work through the end-to-end design process, from brainstorming and ideation, deep consumer insight, to prototyping and execution. Creative thinking, project management and collaboration with multi-functional teams are an important part of this role. We look for majors/degrees in Industrial Design for these roles.
3. Digital Design Co-op: This role is a hybrid of communication design, UI/UX, and content creation (both video and still). This position requires a diverse set of skills in order to help lean innovation teams move fast and learn efficiently. You will collaborate with Industrial Designers, Marketers, and Engineers to help push the story behind products and communicate to consumers. You will help take projects from brainstorm, to ideation, to execution, no matter the medium (web design, photography shoots, how to videos, Facebook ads, etc.) while keeping a strong graphic design aesthetic. We look for majors/degrees in UI/UX Design, Communication Design, Interactive Design, Digital Design, New Media Design, or Advertising Design.

Job Qualifications

We believe this is ideal for you if you are attending a university/college with a major in design and have a portfolio that demonstrates:

• Creative Excellence – aesthetics and visualization skills, visual storytelling, and creative resolution.
• Design Thinking – human-centered design, problem-solving, prototyping and iterating.
• Technical Mastery – relevant software and prototyping mastery as well as process expertise.
• Presentation Mastery – ability to tell a compelling story visually and verbally with a clear point of view.

Important Notes

• We use online assessments to measure skills and abilities that generally do not emerge from interviews. These assessments are critical as they help figure out if you possess the competencies needed to be successful at P&G.
• All Design Co-ops are full time based on a 40 hour work week.
• The Fall co-op session is approximately August/September through December.
