What’s Under the Hood

DriveTime Family of Brands is the largest privately owned used car sales finance & servicing company in the nation. Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona and Dallas, Texas, we create opportunities and improve the lives of our customers and our employees by placing a focus on putting the right customer, in the right vehicle, on the right terms and on their path to ownership.

The DriveTime Family of Brands spans across DriveTime, Bridgecrest and SilverRock.  You can find us at the intersection of technology and innovation as we use our proprietary tools and over two decades of industry knowledge to redefine the process of purchasing, financing, and protecting your vehicle.

That’s Nice, But What’s the Job?

This is not a position for which sponsorship will be provided. Individuals with temporary visas or who need sponsorship now or in the future are not eligible for hire at this time.

As a UX Design Intern, you will collaborate with designers, content specialists, analysts and developers. Throughout the internship, you will gain real-world experience working on projects that truly impact the performance of the company. You will also have the opportunity to work on different projects and initiatives ranging from creating mock-ups for A/B tests and new site features, wireframes, user flows and more!

Our UX Design Interns will be responsible for:

• Create user flows
• Partner closely with analytics and product teams to design user testing plans and assess online strategy
• Become an expert on the Bridgecrest customer in order to more effectively advocate for user experience

So what are we looking for?

• Enthusiasm for learning and seeking new opportunities within design, marketing and strategy. You understand user-centric design and love staying up-to-date with latest user experience and design trends and styles.
• A mind for the details.  Okay we know "detail-oriented" is on about every job description - but we really mean it!
• Ability to work independently. You can take on small to mid-size projects independently, but you’re also not afraid to ask for help when you need it.
• Organization and time management skills in spades.  You’ll be handling multiple projects and deadlines that will require you to prioritize then re-prioritize then re-prioritize again.
• Intellectual curiosity.  Why? What? How?  Do you find yourself always wanting to learn more and broaden your knowledge base?  If so, this could be the role for you.

The Specifics.

• You are currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree
• You are currently in your Junior or Senior year (Graduation date 12/2025 - May 2026)
• You are concentrating with the major(s) Design, Human-Computer Interaction or a related field
• You are working hard and have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher
• Our internship program will be 11 weeks starting May 2024 to August 2024
• Internships will be based out of our Home Office in Tempe, AZ and Dallas, TX
• You can expect a regular on-site schedule Monday-Friday, 40 hours per week

So What About the Perks? Perks matter.

• Not Just Coffee Runs. We’re talking real world experience. You’ll walk away from our internship program with hands-on experience, completed projects, full portfolios, and newly developed skills.
• Who Says You Have to Walk Away? Across both our Tempe, AZ and Dallas, TX offices, over 60% of our interns stay through the fall semester, return the following summer, or are brought on full-time after graduation.
• Growth & Development. You will be mentored by industry professionals, be given guidance along the way, and the tools to be successful.
• Philanthropy: Give for Good. We are proud to be difference makers in our communities. We dedicate time for our Interns to give back with us.
• Gratitude is Green.  Out Internship Program is paid, because, well money matters!

• In-House Gym. We want our employees to be the best versions of themselves. So come early, take a break in your day or finish strong with a workout!
• Give Us a Reason (or not), and We’ll Celebrate. Regardless of whether there is a holiday or not, we are finding ways to kick back and enjoy each other’s company outside of day-to-day work.
• Smart-Casual Dress. Come dressed in jeans (you’ll fit right in with the rest of us).

Anything Else?  Absolutely.
