In this role, you will primarily assist with the initial design and development of scientific posters for medical communication events, such as congresses and exhibitions. There may also be opportunities to contribute to other design projects, including leave pieces, infographics, and marketing assets.

We are therefore looking for talented individuals with a great understanding of aesthetics and meticulous attention to detail.

You will closely collaborate with experienced members of our Creative team, who will provide comprehensive training and ensure you gain valuable, hands‑on design experience in the pharmaceutical industry. You can learn more about our Creative team and see some examples of their work here:

Hybrid Working Policy
:
We believe that having face‑to‑face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments.

Given the wealth of training, mentorship and development opportunities that are available as part of our internship programmes, time spent in the office is even more crucial. Therefore, our interns can work from home 1 day per week.

As a Graphic Design Intern in the Creative team, you will have the option to select an internship length of either 3 or 6 months, enabling you to develop your skills and potentially gain experience working on multiple project types. There may also be the opportunity for strong candidates to apply for the Graphic Designer role and join the team on a permanent basis, depending on business need.
