Job description

Rising Tide Interactive is currently accepting Motion Graphic Designer internship applications for our paid Summer/Fall 2026 Internship Program. Our interns will have the opportunity to join us in our work creating digital creative for Democratic campaigns, committees, PACs, and nonprofits to develop and implement the digital strategies that win races and create change. You'll get training, hands-on design opportunities, and mentorship to learn the ins and outs of digital graphic design and video production processes as well as tactics and creative management from a dedicated team of creatives.

What you'll do:

  • Create original graphic assets for cross team design and video projects
  • Assist Video Editors and create original :30 second, :15 second, and :6 second videos from start to finish
  • Produce additional sizes and versions of existing static designs and optimizing motion graphics for online platforms
  • Recommend visuals for RTI's digital videos by finding stock footage and imagery for a variety of projects
  • Watch, organize, and catalog video footage and files
  • Organize assets for the Creative Team, including managing physical video drives (shipping, retrieving, downloading, uploading)
  • Assist the Creative Team with other tasks that align with your skills and goals
  • This internship can be customized to your skills and goals - if you are more interested in the creative and technical aspects of video editing, we'll give you tasks that help you grow those skills, or if you are more interested in backend production process and project management, we'll pivot your tasks that way.

The important stuff:

  • Paid internship? Yep! We pay $17.95/hour
  • This internship is full-time (up to 35 hours/week)
  • Summer/fall internships typically run from May 25th to December 12th, but we're flexible with start/end dates. 
  • Location: Washington, DC -  this position will be based in our office in Washington, DC on a hybrid work schedule. Our typical schedule is two days a week in the office and three days remotely. Due to the nature of this role, more time in the office may be required on an as-needed basis to support management of physical video drives.
  • We will provide a laptop

Nuts & bolts:

  • Let us know if you're interested in part-time or full-time work (or both) and what your availability is for the semester.
  • Applications will be accepted until the end of the day on Friday, May 1st and must include a cover letter and resume. Final selection decisions will be communicated by Friday, May 15th.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere and After Effects is required for this position.

About Rising Tide Interactive:

Rising Tide Interactive works with Democratic campaigns, committees, PACs, and nonprofits to develop and implement the digital strategies that win races and create change. Since 2011, we've worked with clients like Sens. Tim Kaine and Jacky Rosen, Voto Latino, FWD.us, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. We're ready for our best election cycle yet in 2026.
