Welcome to IRIS Singapore.
Thanks for considering an application to Iris. Before we begin, we just wanted to tell you a little bit about ourselves and what kind of organisation we aspire to be.
Iris is a creative innovation network, with offices in 17 countries. We pride ourselves in being “For the Forward.” Our people and skill sets may be diverse but we are centered around one product. Progress. Creative, radical, come out of nowhere and blow your mind kind of progress for our clients.
Sometimes we make ads. Sometimes we design new physical products. Sometimes we code new digital services. It really depends on the client problem we’re aiming to solve.
But that’s enough about us, let’s talk about you. And why you might be here, reading through this job description.
We know that graduating from school and trying to find your way in this world is a hard enough challenge, without a global pandemic and worldwide recession throwing a spanner in the works.
We know you’re probably fed up with Zoom classes, or bored sitting around twiddling your thumbs waiting for the job market to recover. And we want to give you an opportunity to get some real hands-on experience of what it’s like to work in the marketing sector.
Which is why we have this internship.

Who are we?
he Iris Character
We have five core behaviours that we look for to help us to build a culture that fosters true progress: Courage, Storytelling, Collaboration, Empathy and Commitment.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and recruit on talent alone, regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, education, class, sexual orientation or disability. We champion diversity and believe it not only benefits but enhances our creativity, our company and society at large. We are For the Forward.
‘For the Free’ is our global DE&I strategy. Its aim is to create a business where everyone feels free to be themselves and has the same opportunity and access to progress. Our DE&I strategy encourages courageous thinkers who champion outsider perspectives. ‘For the Free’ has three main pillars of activity:
Diversity - We want to invite difference. To be an organisation that is fully representative of different groups and reflects the city, country and world that we live in. We value our talents’ lived experiences – including gender, race, class, disability, neuro-diversity and sexual orientation.
Equity - We want to be fair to everyone. To remove barriers for individuals and groups and provide the bespoke access, support and opportunities that are needed to fully participate in our organisation. We are levelling the playing field.
Inclusion - We want everyone to feel at home. To provide a place where people can be themselves, express their unique identity and contribute to the life of our community.
