That's Nice, But What's the Job?

This is not a position for which sponsorship will be provided. Individuals with temporary visas or who need sponsorship now or in the future are not eligible for hire at this time. 

As a UX Design Intern, you will collaborate with designers, content specialists, analysts and developers. Throughout the internship, you will gain real-world experience working on projects that truly impact the performance of the company. You will also have the opportunity to work on different projects and initiatives ranging from creating mock-ups for A/B tests and new site features, wireframes, user flows and more!

Our UX Design Interns will be responsible for:

• Create user flows
• Partner closely with analytics and product teams to design user testing plans and assess online strategy
• Become an expert on the Bridgecrest customer in order to more effectively advocate for user experience

So what are we looking for?

• Enthusiasm for learning and seeking new opportunities within design, marketing and strategy. You understand user-centric design and love staying up-to-date with latest user experience and design trends and styles.
• A mind for the details.  Okay we know “detail-oriented” is on about every job description – but we really mean it! 
• Ability to work independently. You can take on small to mid-size projects independently, but you're also not afraid to ask for help when you need it.
• Organization and time management skills in spades.  You'll be handling multiple projects and deadlines that will require you to prioritize then re-prioritize… then… re-prioritize again.
• Intellectual curiosity.  Why? What? How?  Do you find yourself always wanting to learn more and broaden your knowledge base?  If so, this could be the role for you.

The Specifics.

• You are currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's Degree
• You are currently in your Junior or Senior year (Graduation date 12/2025 – May 2026)
• You are concentrating with the major(s) Design, Human-Computer Interaction or a related field
• You are working hard and have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher
• Our internship program will be 11 weeks starting May 2024 to August 2024
• Internships will be based out of our Home Office in Tempe, AZ and Dallas, TX
• You can expect a regular on-site schedule Monday-Friday, 40 hours per week

So What About the Perks? Perks matter.

• Not Just Coffee Runs.  We're talking real world experience. You'll walk away from our internship program with hands-on experience, completed projects, full portfolios, and newly developed skills.
• Who Says You Have to Walk Away? Across both our Tempe, AZ and Dallas, TX offices, over 60% of our interns stay through the fall semester, return the following summer, or are brought on full-time after graduation.
• Growth & Development. You will be mentored by industry professionals, be given guidance along the way, and the tools to be successful.
• Philanthropy: Give for Good. We are proud to be difference makers in our communities. We dedicate time for our Interns to give back with us.
• Gratitude is Green.  Out Internship Program is paid, because, well… money matters!

• In-House Gym. We want our employees to be the best versions of themselves. So come early, take a break in your day or finish strong with a workout!
• Give Us a Reason (or not), and We'll Celebrate.  Regardless of whether there is a holiday or not, we are finding ways to kick back and enjoy each other's company outside of day-to-day work.
• Smart-Casual Dress. Come dressed in jeans (you'll fit right in with the rest of us).

Anything Else?  Absolutely.
