ASSISTANT STORE MANAGER + GRAPHIC DESIGN INTERN

Sweet Memories Vintage Tees | Liberty Twp, Ohio

Are you creative, organized, outgoing, and interested in learning what it takes to build and grow a brand?

Sweet Memories Vintage Tees is looking for an Assistant Store Manager + Graphic Design Intern to join our team. This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional internship—you’ll gain hands-on experience in graphic design, retail management, merchandising, marketing, social media, events, and brand development.

We’re looking for someone who can be creative behind the computer AND confident working with customers on the sales floor.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Retail & Assistant Management

Help oversee daily store operations
Provide excellent customer service and create a welcoming shopping experience
Assist with opening and closing responsibilities
Help maintain store organization, displays, and merchandising
Assist with inventory and product organization
Help train and support retail team members
Assist with special events, promotions, and product launches
Step into a leadership role when needed

Graphic Design & Creative

Assist with T-shirt and apparel graphics
Create social media graphics and promotional materials
Design signage, flyers, event materials, and in-store displays
Help develop graphics for new product launches and licensed brands
Prepare creative assets for ecommerce and marketing
Work on real projects that may be produced, sold, promoted, and seen by customers

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate is:

Currently studying or recently graduated in Graphic Design, Marketing, Visual Communications, Fashion, Business, or a related field
Comfortable with Adobe Creative Suite and/or other professional design programs
Creative with a strong eye for typography, layout, color, and branding
Friendly, dependable, organized, and self-motivated
Comfortable interacting with customers
Able to multitask in a fast-paced small-business environment
Interested in retail, apparel, vintage brands, marketing, and entrepreneurship
Willing to learn and jump in wherever needed

Retail experience is a plus, but personality, creativity, reliability, and willingness to learn are equally important.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL INTERNSHIP

You won't spend your internship watching from the sidelines.

You'll work directly on real products, real marketing campaigns, real events, and real retail operations while learning how ideas go from concept to design to production to the sales floor.

For someone interested in becoming a designer, creative director, entrepreneur, retail manager, or brand builder, this position offers the opportunity to experience several sides of the business under one roof.
