Marketing and Communications Intern (Summer 2026)

Wilmot Sanz is an integrated architecture, interior design, and planning firm dedicated to shaping environments that support healing, discovery, and community. Our work in healthcare and mission-driven sectors is grounded in thoughtful design, collaboration, and a belief that the built environment can improve lives.

We are seeking a Summer 2026 Marketing & Communications Intern who is curious about architecture, passionate about storytelling, and interested in the intersection of design and healthcare. This is an opportunity to work alongside architects, designers, and marketing professionals to help communicate the impact of our work.

The ideal candidate is a strong writer and visual thinker who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced studio environment. You are detail-oriented, organized, and proactive — eager to learn how strategy, design, and business development intersect within an architecture firm. We want someone who is energetic with a willingness to take on projects that range from data entry to challenging special projects. Key to this position is a great attitude, sense of accountability, attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and experience in graphic design, marketing or social media.

This is a full-time, paid, three-month summer internship based in our Rockville, MD office.

What You’ll Do

Working closely with the Director of Marketing and our design teams, you will:

• Support the development and production of proposals, qualifications packages, interview presentations, and marketing collateral
• Help translate complex healthcare and architectural concepts into clear, compelling narratives
• Assist in maintaining and organizing marketing materials, project data, and contact databases
• Contribute to social media content and templates that reflect our evolving brand and showcase our design work
• Conduct research to support business development efforts, conference submissions, and thought leadership initiatives
• Participate in internal marketing and client development meetings
• Assist with professional project photography, including on-site coordination and staging
• Attend select industry events and networking opportunities within the AEC and healthcare communities

What We’re Looking For

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, Graphic Design, or a related field
• At least two years of coursework completed
• Strong writing and editing skills with the ability to adapt tone for different audiences
• Interest in architecture, design, and healthcare environments
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a creative studio setting
• Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat) and Microsoft Office in a PC environment
• Ability to work in-office five days per week in Rockville, MD
• A self-starter with a can-do attitude, organized and efficient
• Willingness to go the extra mile and give even the smallest tasks a high level of attention and effort

At Wilmot Sanz, marketing is not just about promotion — it is about telling the story of how design can elevate care and strengthen communities. If you are excited about architecture, inspired by healthcare environments, and eager to contribute to a mission-driven firm, we would love to hear from you.
