Job description

If you sketch ideas in the margins and obsess over kerning, our Motion Graphics Designer opening at Starbucks is for you. What you're signing up for is $52,000 - $69,000, an internship cadence, creative ownership, and a Starbucks team that rewards nerve.

Key Responsibilities

• Catch the brand drift early, before Helena, MT field reps improvise their own
• Resurface old Starbucks archives for motifs worth a second, sharper life
• Pitch the uncomfortable direction when the safe one has clearly run dry
• Set the typographic rhythm that ties a sprawling Zeplin library together
• Adapt master concepts into channel-specific formats and aspect ratios
• Sustain a 3-week sprint cadence without letting the work go generic

What You’ll Bring

• Experience thriving in a small-but-mighty, deadline-driven setting like Starbucks
• 4+ years putting User Journey Mapping to work in a creative setting
• Proven User Journey Mapping judgment when the textbook answer doesn’t fit
• A history of leaving creative processes better than you found them
• Real curiosity about why Starbucks customers do what they do
• Proven aptitude for Responsive Design, ideally near Helena, MT
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel

Starbucks builds creative tools the way old shops built furniture — slowly, in Helena, MT, and with a heads-down-and-happy respect for the craft. We onboard you to the creative mission first and the Card Sorting tooling second, in that order.

Land here and your reward starts at $52,000 - $69,000, then climbs alongside the mentorship, flexible hours, and benefits we keep stacking on top.

As of this visit, Starbucks is actively reviewing for the Motion Graphics Designer role.
