About The Role

As a member of G2’s Summer Internship Program, you will have the opportunity to join an exciting team, complete a variety of projects, and participate in professional development events.

It also involves working  with designers and engineers to map, prioritize, and ideate on those opportunities, as well as provide recommendations.
2. PORTFOLIO PIECE: Working on a design project from start to finish. You’ll gather and analyze user data, create low and high fidelity wireframes, do  usability testing, and use other UX methodologies to meet project goals.
3. DESIGN OPS: Work with designers to improve the operation of our team, including UX documentation, processes, design system maintenance, brainstorming sessions, and more.

This internship is remote (US only), and will be held from June to August. Interns will work 40 hours per week.
