Graphic Design Intern

Relay • Raleigh, NC

22h • Onsite

About The Position

Relay is transforming the physical world into a searchable, actionable data asset. We’ve moved beyond "Big Radio's" analog past to build the Relay SOAR™ Platform, which treats voice and movement as the new keyboards of the enterprise. By capturing the "Human Signal," we enable frontline teams in hospitality, manufacturing, and healthcare to move from reactive chaos to proactive control.
Ranked among the fastest-growing tech companies in North America, we are looking for the next generation of "Relayers" to help us digitize the final frontier of the workforce.
Join us in Raleigh and let’s get LIT.
The Role: Are you the person who is always sending your friends links to the "newest cool AI tool"? Do you spend your weekends experimenting with Midjourney prompts, cloning voices on ElevenLabs, or figuring out how to automate boring tasks?
Relay is looking for a Generative AI Creative Intern to act as our "Explorer in Chief." Our CMO and Creative Team are bullish on the power of AI to accelerate our workflows, but we need someone to test the tools, break them, and figure out how they fit into a real-world B2B marketing engine.
You won’t just be designing; you’ll be researching, experimenting, and teaching. You will help us answer the question: "How can we do this better/faster/cooler using AI?"
Our application period is open through Friday, February 13. Please apply today to be considered for this in semester internship! High-performing interns will be considered for a potential extension into the Summer and/or full-time employment based on alignment with business needs.
We are seeking a creative, detail-oriented Graphic Design Intern to support our marketing and brand initiatives. In this role, you won't just be "making things look pretty"—you will be a key contributor to our visual identity, helping to translate complex technology into compelling visual narratives across digital and print media.
Please note this role will be based in our Raleigh, NC, amenity-rich headquarters, and you should be interested in working in person 3+ days per week.
The ideal candidate lives at the intersection of creativity and strategy. You will help maintain the visual integrity of the Relay brand, ensuring that our look and feel remain consistent from the first social media impression to our sales enablement materials. Your mission is to elevate our visual communications and provide the creative team with the fresh perspectives required to drive engagement.
