Brand & Marketing Design Intern

About the team

The Central Marketing Creative Team sits at the heart of how SumUp shows up in the world, shaping the visual identity of a brand trusted by over 4 million small businesses across 37 markets. Within the team, the Brand pillar owns everything from campaign creative and social content to event design and brand governance, ensuring SumUp looks and feels consistent wherever it appears. We're a collaborative, craft-focused group that moves fast, holds high standards, and genuinely cares about the quality of what we put out, and this role sits right at the centre of that.

This is an opportunity to join a high-output creative team at a pivotal moment, as we scale our brand presence and increase the volume and ambition of our marketing campaigns. You'll report directly to the Head of Brand and Marketing Design and work day-to-day alongside designers, campaign managers, content strategists, and channel specialists.

What you'll do

• Produce and adapt marketing assets across paid, organic, and owned channels, including resizes, format variations, and channel-specific executions, working within SumUp's visual identity system
• Support the team with reactive creative requests across campaigns, events, internal comms, and marketing design execution
• Contribute to employer brand content across LinkedIn, careers pages, and recruiting collateral, aligned to the new brand identity
• Run lightweight brand QA checks on marketing and internal materials before they ship, flagging inconsistencies early
• Support the localisation and implementation of asset sets in Contentful, in collaboration with a senior designer
• Contribute to the development and documentation of scalable design templates for use across the business
• Help keep our Brand Standards Portal current as guidelines evolve and organise our brand and marketing design assets in our Digital Asset Management system 

You'll be great for this role if…

• You're studying or have recently graduated in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Brand Design, or a related creative field
• You have hands-on proficiency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• You have a strong foundation in typography, composition, and colour theory, and can apply a visual identity system consistently across formats
• You're organised and rigorous with digital files: naming conventions, folder structures, asset libraries, at a level that others can rely on
• You have a sharp eye for detail and notice inconsistencies in type, colour, spacing, and layout that others might miss
• You take ownership of your work, flag blockers early, and follow through without needing to be chased
• You're genuinely curious about brand strategy, not just how things look, but why

It's a bonus if you have:

• Experience with a Digital Asset Management tool (Canto or similar)
• Familiarity with Figma library management or component automation
• Experience with a CMS, particularly Contentful
• Exposure to employer brand, social media, or marketing content production
