Calling all NYC based marketing and design students who love biking and growing brands! We have an opening in our Brooklyn office that you might be perfect for.
About us
Po Campo aims to make the bike bags and travel bags that will become your BFF of bags. They're vegan and weatherproof, super functional and durable, with lots of pockets for organizing your stuff.
We love to use our bikes to get around. It's fun (or at least it can be) and we savor the feelings of freedom that it gives us. We know that biking has enormous health, environmental, and economical benefits, and we love helping women integrate biking into their daily lives.
Our founder Maria Boustead still runs the company and designs our products. All of our bags feature vegan, weatherproof fabrics and lots of pockets to fit your devices. We are also a mission-driven company: we donate a portion of sales to World Bicycle Relief to supply bikes to girls in rural Africa so that they can get to school.
You'll join us in our pleasant co-working space in Crown Heights called Nowhere Studios, near the Kingston-Throop stop on the C line. This is a creative space with other designers, writers, video editors, illustrators, and so on. There are a lot of bikers here, and a pleasant rooftop space that we use for BBQs and such.

This internship is for roughly 15 hours per week for three months. We will work with you to develop a schedule to work around your other commitments, but are generally looking for someone who can devote about 3 hours each workday to this position.

That doesn't mean that we don't expect you to work hard, it just means that we understand that you are here foremost to learn.
Please also know that while we are always looking for inspiring and hardworking people to join our team full-time, we can not promise that any internship will turn into a job offer at the conclusion of the internship.
