Graphic Design Intern

About the internship program

Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA)’s Summer Internship Program is a 10 to 12-week program for graduate and undergraduate students to join the Tillamook team and connect to our 115-year-old heritage. Our interns play a significant role in solving real-world business challenges and enjoy bites of our ice cream, cheese and beloved dairy products every step of the way. As a farmer-owned cooperative, we invite interns to visit the farms of our farmer-owners so they can see what cow care, environmental stewardship and the daily operations of a dairy farm look like, up close. In addition to the farm tour, we host multiple enriching experiences throughout the duration of the program, that include being an honorary Tillamook taste bud for the day with our immersive cheese and ice cream tastings, “college-inspired” cooking class with our executive chef, resume & interview workshop, sales market tours and more. This role is based out of our office in Portland, Oregon. The application window will be open until the position is filled or until we reach our cap of 100 applicants; we will review applications and move selected candidates through our interview process with the goal of having all interns identified no later than the end of the year.

How this work makes an impact

Enable our best work means giving the sales team materials that hit as hard as our brand does on shelf. The right tools — elevated and innovative design, consistent templates, one source of truth — free the team from rebuilding collateral and make Tillamook show up premium, consistent, and differentiated in every pitch.
