The Skinny
Paisley & Jade is a Richmond-based company specializing in specialty and vintage décor rentals for events, weddings, trade shows and photo shoots. We assist clients with realizing their vision by helping them utilize our gorgeous, one-of-a-kind inventory. We’re essentially Pinterest come to life, fueled by caffeine and driven by our love of the latest trends.
Our ever-expanding inventory has been carefully curated with finds throughout the United States and our press includes Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, The Knot and Richmond Magazine.
We pride ourselves on our creative and positive atmosphere and are eager to invite a design-savvy and fabulous intern to join this crazy thing we call work.
A Day in the Life of a P&J Intern
Life at Paisley & Jade is fast-paced and constantly evolving, so specific duties of the intern vary but could include:
-Assistance with the set up and breakdown of shoots and events
-Research, planning, and execution of marketing campaigns that showcase the P&J collection through email, photos, and/or video
-Social media content and projects
Interns will also have the opportunity to roll up their sleeves for Inspiration Station, a chance to grab favorite pieces from our collection and knock our socks off with your vision.
The intern will be expected to work 15-20 hours per week at our office in Scott’s Addition, and attendance at a weekly staff meeting will be required. The internship is unpaid although we will gladly work with you on paperwork/requirements for college credits.
