About Supernova’s Internship Programme
As an intern at Supernova, you’ll get to work directly with seasoned creatives (the best in the business!) to develop and execute exciting projects for award-winning global brands that reach over 7 million people across the globe daily. Sounds exciting? So long as you’re eager to learn, ready to challenge yourself and zealous about being a team player in a global start-up environment, we’d be thrilled to have you on board!

* This internship will ideally commence in June 2024, and will require candidates to commit full-time for 6 months. All applicants should also have the right to work in the countries that they apply for. Additional expenses including visas will not be provided.

About the Job
We are looking for a dynamic, inquisitive self-starter to help us create the next batch of breakthrough products and build the most hyped new brands! You’re all over the latest, cutting-edge brands and the must-have products before anyone else and want to grow in an environment that is built around ideas and collaboration - where empowerment and learning is the name of the game and hands on experience is what you crave. This isn’t a role for someone to sit back & chill. This is a role for someone who wants to seize opportunities, take ownership and learn something new everyday.

Everyone brings to the table their unique skill sets and working well as a team allows us to ensure that our customers get a kick ass user experience. We want people who are inquisitive and ever-curious to learn, who have opinions and aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves to get the job done. And while we work hard and move fast with a commitment to delivery, we're equally as committed to playing hard!

You will be working closely with our VP of Innovation & NPD to fuel our innovation plan by helping us identify new opportunities and developing those ideas into new, disrupting, viral products and beauty brands.
