Job Description

Who are we and why should you join us?

BetterHelp is on a mission to remove the traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health care more accessible to everyone. Founded in 2013, we are now the world’s largest online therapy service, providing affordable and convenient therapy across the globe. Our network of over 30,000 licensed therapists has helped millions of people take ownership of their mental health and change their lives forever. And we’re not stopping there – as the unmet need for mental health services continues to grow, BetterHelp is committed to being part of the solution.


As the Design Intern at BetterHelp, you’ll join a diverse team of licensed clinicians, engineers, product pros, creatives, marketers, and business leaders who share a passion for expanding access to therapy. And as a mental health company, we take employee mental health just as seriously as we do our mission. We deeply invest in our team’s well-being and professional development, because we know that business and individual growth go hand-in-hand. At BetterHelp, you’ll carve your own path, make an immediate impact, and be challenged every day – with a supportive community behind you the whole way.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a thoughtful, motivated Summer Design Intern to join the BetterHelp Creative Team. This role is ideal for a designer who is excited to work at the intersection of brand and performance marketing—where storytelling meets impact.

What will you do?

  • Support the development of paid social, display, email, and web creative
  • Adapt and resize creative across multiple platforms (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, etc.), ensuring each asset feels native to its environment.
  • Assist in evolving evergreen and campaign-based marketing assets
  • Assist with organic social content, including static posts and carousels
  • Contribute to concept development and creative brainstorming
  • Prepare production-ready files and resize/adapt creative across formats
  • Help maintain brand consistency across channels
  • Participate in creative reviews and team critiques

What will you NOT do?

  • You will NOT worry about "runway", "cash left", or "how much time we have until the next round". We have the startup DNA but we're fully backed and funded, all the way to success.
  • You will NOT be confined to your "job". You will get involved in product, marketing, business strategy, and almost everything we do.
  • You will NOT be bogged down by office politics, ego, or bad attitude. Only positive, pleasure-to-work-with people are allowed here!
  • You will NOT get yourself burned out. We work hard but we believe in maintaining a sustainable work/life balance. Really.

Can I work remotely?

Yes. We operate on PST and candidates in any time zone are welcome to apply. 

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or related field
  • Strong design fundamentals (typography, layout, hierarchy, color)
  • Proficiency in Figma and/or Adobe Creative Suite
  • Portfolio showcasing digital work (social, web, email, campaign concepts, etc.)
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Comfortable receiving feedback and iterating quickly
  • Comfortable adapting a single idea into many versions across different platforms and formats
  • Interest in wellness, mental health, and mission-driven brands

Bonus

  • Have experience with motion design or light animation
  • Understand performance marketing or growth creative
  • Are curious about how design impacts conversion and engagement

Benefits

  • The chance to build something that changes lives – and that people love
  • An awesome community of co-workers
  • Meaningful projects: Apply your education to real-world challenges through hands-on, impactful work that is both rigorous and rewarding.
  • Growth & development: Expand your skills through mentoring, job shadowing, lunch & learns, and hands-on project work that supports your personal and professional growth.
  • Dedicated support: Benefit from a manager and mentor who will provide ongoing guidance and support throughout your internship.

The hourly rate for this position is $20 - $25 per hour.
