About the Role

A great brand is more than a logo or a set of guidelines. It comes to life through the stories we tell, the experiences we create and the way we communicate every day.

We are looking for a creative, detail-oriented and proactive Brand & Digital Communications Intern/Co-op to join our Global Communications team for the Spring 2027 semester.

Following the launch of our refreshed brand identity and website, we are focused on bringing our brand to life across our digital channels, internal communications and employee experiences.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to turn ideas into engaging content, develop creative assets, improve our digital presence and collaborate with colleagues across a global organization. You will work on real projects, see your ideas put into action and help shape how our brand is experienced by employees and external audiences.

Website & Digital Experience

• Review website pages for visual consistency, formatting, spacing, layout and alignment with our brand guidelines
• Help coordinate content reviews, updates and translations with colleagues across different regions
