Design Intern, Paid Social

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Base is seeking a Design Intern to join their Creative team for the summer. This role will focus on paid social advertising on Meta, working with designers and the marketing team to create ad creative, build scalable template systems in Figma, and understand what resonates with homeowners. The intern will own real output, designing ads that run in the market, building tools for teammates, and influencing how Base appears in user feeds. This position is ideal for someone excited about the intersection of brand, performance, and design craft.

Requirements

• Strong visual design fundamentals — typography, color, layout, hierarchy — with a portfolio that shows range and taste.
• Working proficiency in Figma, including components, auto layout, and an understanding of how to build templates others can use without breaking.
• Genuine curiosity about what makes an ad work — you pay attention to the ads in your own feed and have opinions about them.
• Ability to move quickly and manage your own time across multiple deliverables without losing quality.
• Comfort giving and receiving direct feedback — our team iterates fast and ego slows things down.

Responsibilities

• Design new paid social ad creative on a weekly cadence for Meta campaigns, working within Base’s brand system while pushing the work forward visually.
• Build and maintain a reusable Figma template system that both the design and marketing teams can use to quickly spin up new ad variations without starting from scratch.
• Conduct competitive ad research — studying what other brands (in energy, DTC, home services, and beyond) are running on Meta — and bring back ideas worth testing.
• Organize and build a library of our top-performing ad creative so the marketing team has a go-to resource for proven templates and formats.
• Collaborate with designers and marketers to iterate on concepts based on performance data and creative instinct.
