Sseko Designs is an ethical fashion company based in Portland, Oregon.  All of our products are designed for the western market and are produced in East Africa through partnerships with local communities and businesses.  We are building a sustainable and profitable company in East Africa as a means to provide dignified, fair-wage employment, and scholarship opportunities for women in Uganda.

We are passionate about beautiful, well-designed fashionable products, and we are raising awareness of the importance of educating and empowering women in developing economies.

We are looking for a rockstar Marketing + Style Intern to join the Sseko team during their summer break! Sseko products are sold by Sseko Fellows, a bright and bold community of dreamers and doers, who are using their passion and smarts to send women in Uganda to college and earn an income to pursue their own dreams. This role will be working closely with our Marketing Team to create beautiful content that both promotes the Sseko Fellows opportunity and teaches Fellows how to style our products! If you're looking for experience in social media, style, content strategy, and sales, this internship is for you! This individual would be responsible for:

• Visual Content: Work with our Marketing Team to develop imagery and stories that tie in with our campaigns.

• Fellows Content Strategy: Work with our Marketing Team to create sales tips, product related trainings, social media tips, and more for direct sellers.

• Copywriting: Gain experience blogging and developing written content for social media and more.

• Styling: You get the Sseko brand—our style and our aesthetic—and you have a natural eye for style! We're excited to have you on the team to help style our summer products for flat-lays and mini photoshoots. (It’s a plus if you aren’t camera-shy, either!)

• Ideally pursuing an undergraduate degree in fashion, marketing or related field.

• Love of fashion and always stays on top of the latest style trends.

• Experience blogging and/or writing.

• Personal fashion blog or Instagram a major plus!

• Basic design and photography skills another plus!

Interns are expected to work approximately 15-20 hours per week and attend additional events as necessary. We’re a small company and we share responsibilities, event work, and lots of various projects. Be ready to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty if needed! Internships are unpaid, but you may receive college credit if approved by your college or university. Interns are required to live within commuting distance of our office in Portland, OR. We have a small, lively office here in Portland -- and we are excited to welcome you into it!

Application Deadline: May 16, 2018. Internship runs from June-August.
