Creative Content Specialist

About us

The Alchemy is a licensed cannabis retailer with two Manhattan locations, in Chelsea and the Flatiron District. We approach retail the way a fashion or design brand would — store environment, product photography, and campaigns all matter to us.

About the role

We're hiring a Creative Content Intern to help produce visual content across photography, video, and in-store design. You'll work directly with the founders on a small team, with real ownership of projects from concept through execution.

This is a hands-on production role, not a scheduling or community management role. You should expect to leave with finished work for your portfolio.

What you'll work on:

• Editorial photo shoots

• Luxury product photography

• Window displays

• In-store installations and visual merchandising

• Customer interviews

• Fashion-inspired campaign concepts

• Short-form brand films

• Event activations

• Experimental AI-generated art

• Creative direction on assigned projects

• Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a design, photography, film, fashion, or marketing program (Parsons, FIT, SVA, Pratt, NYU and equivalent), or an equivalent portfolio

• Portfolio demonstrating photography, video, or design work

• Comfortable operating a camera and lighting basics

• Able to edit short-form video

• Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or comparable tools

• Must be 21 or older (required for licensed cannabis retail in New York State)

• Must be able to work in person in Manhattan

What we offer:

• Paid internship

• Academic credit available on request

• Portfolio credit and rights to publish your work

• Direct mentorship from the founders
