Graphic Designer Job Posting

Interested in working with StudentPrint? You should be! It’s more than an ordinary campus job. It can change your life.

Working at StudentPrint is a very unique opportunity as students, and student alone, are the ones that operate the business and make the decisions for it. We’re often praised for the professional development opportunities we provide our team members, and we excel in future job interviews due to our knowledge and skill from our time here. Whether it’s making a budget for the next fiscal year, planning a marketing campaign or the semester, creating our new website or interviewing a new peer, students are the driving force of StudentPrint and are fully responsible for its success and direction.

You’re essentially running a small business in college with a group of other students. Sound cool? Keep reading!

Hours and Commitment

Everyone that works at StudentPrint (besides our advisor) is required to be enrolled as a student at UW-Madison. To us, this means that you’re a student first, and a StudentPrint employee second. We understand that schedules get tricky with different classes, campus organizations, extra curriculars, etc. and we’re happy to work with your schedule to ensure that you’re finding balance between your time here and the rest of your life. Most employees work about 8-12 hours a week, with managers usually working a bit more. This number can change from week to week if you’re involved in project teams, monthly team meetings, board meetings or course reader rush (the first 2 weeks of every semester).

Types of Roles

Most team members are brought on to serve primarily as Customer Service Representatives. This role involves interacting with customers at the front counter, managing our (very busy) email account, processing every kind of order, and finalizing sales. Customer service representatives are encouraged to join and contribute regularly to project teams of their interest (see below) to advance the long term success of the business. With extra initiative, customer service representatives can often serve as project team directors or managers.

Aside from Customer Service Representatives, StudentPrint hires specifically for some specialty roles including:

Graphic Designers
Technology Specialists
Advisor
Managers*

*Everyone has an opportunity to apply to be a manager during their time at StudentPrint, and this is decided by the team as a whole annually when a team member expresses interest and show initiative.

Project Teams

Some of the coolest parts of StudentPrint are the project teams that team members have the chance to be a part of. The team you’re a part of is up to you, and each team values the individual contributions, ideas and insights of its members. Project teams are what drive the future and “big thinking” of StudentPrint aside from day to day tasks. We have many opportunities in the following teams:

Marketing Team
Tech Team
Website Team
Finance Team
Sustainability Team
Inventory Team
Copyright Team
Equipment Team

Professional Development

When you think about it, the opportunity of being a StudentPrint employee is highly unique. Before you leave college, you could have real world business experience on your resume. The decisions that you make are the ones that directly impact the success of the business as a whole, and this is extremely valuable and wowing to future employers. Whether you’re the director of a project team, a regular voice in team meetings, a go-to person for troubleshooting the machines, or an inspiring manager, there are a wealth of opportunities here that require an exceptional amount of responsibility.

Aside from the many perks that our roles offer, we also grow as professionals in the following way regularly:

Annual Strategic Planning Meeting
Monthly Team Meetings
Biannual Board Meetings
LinkedIn, Resume and Cover Letter Workshops
Impactful Future References

Work Environment

StudentPrint is a nice team of college aged young adults. Everyone hired to the team is expected to be equally passionate about the success of the business, and we make sacrifices to ensure we achieve that success. There’s always a lot going on at work, so you shouldn’t worry about getting bored. There’s always music playing, printers running, people chatting and front counter bells ringing. You’ll make great friends here, some often life-lasting. We often hold team members socials, holiday secret santa exchanges and white elephants, friendsgiving parties and off-site senior send off retreats. We want you to have fun with us here!

Hiring Process

We want to find people who we know will be equally passionate about the business as we are. When meeting basic qualifications via resume and cover letter submission, you will be interviewed by a group of StudentPrint team members to gauge not only your professional experience and ability, but also interest and fit with our team culture to ensure that you will be happy here. If you’re applying for a graphic design role, you may be asked to complete a practical assessment along with your interview and/or submit a portfolio of past work.
