Brand & Content Design Intern

Company: SourceIQ
Location: Remote
Duration: 3-6 months (with potential for conversion to full-time)
Compensation: Unpaid (Academic credit available)
Start Date: Flexible (Rolling applications)

*About SourceIQ *

SourceIQ is an AI-native supplier intelligence and sourcing platform helping enterprises discover, evaluate, engage, and manage suppliers through one governed system.

We’re building our brand from the ground up and need creative, strategic minds to help us tell our story, establish a distinct visual and verbal identity, and build awareness among enterprise procurement teams, suppliers, and industry stakeholders.

We’re looking for a Brand & Content Design Intern who combines strong visual design instincts with writing, storytelling, brand thinking, and content strategy.

*The Role *

As a Brand & Content Design Intern, you’ll help evolve and execute SourceIQ’s brand across social media, campaigns, presentations, thought leadership, marketing collateral, and other customer-facing experiences.

This is more than “posting on social media.” You’ll help translate complex ideas about AI, procurement, supplier intelligence, and enterprise technology into content that is visually compelling, understandable, and consistent with the SourceIQ brand.

You’ll work closely with SourceIQ’s Head of Design, CEO, and marketing/product teams to turn company ideas, product stories, industry perspectives, and executive thought leadership into cohesive brand experiences.

This is a portfolio-building opportunity: Your writing, campaigns, designs, and brand work may be used by a real B2B SaaS company engaging with enterprise organizations and prospects.

• Track content performance and identify patterns that can improve future creative

• Monitor B2B content trends and emerging visual/content formats

• Support consistent publishing across company and executive channels

• Content Collaboration

• Executive thought leadership: Turn leadership ideas into strong visual and written content
