Design (UX/UI) Intern (US) - Summer 2026

Welcome to TELUS Digital — where innovation drives impact at a global scale. As an award-winning digital product consultancy and the digital division of TELUS, one of Canada’s largest telecommunications providers, we design and deliver transformative customer experiences through cutting-edge technology, agile thinking, and a people-first culture.

With a global team across North America, South America, Central America, Europe, and APAC, we offer end-to-end expertise across eight core service areas: Digital Product Consulting, Digital Marketing Services, Data & AI, Strategy Consulting, Business Operations Modernization, Enterprise Applications, Cloud Engineering, and QA & Test Engineering.

From mobile apps and websites to voice UI, chatbots, AI, customer service, and in-store solutions, TELUS Digital enables seamless, trusted, and digitally powered experiences that meet customers wherever they are — all backed by the secure infrastructure and scale of our multi-billion-dollar parent company.

Our interns are integral parts of our teams at TELUS Digital. To help retain our deep culture of collaboration, our interns maintain an in-office presence in a hybrid capacity (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays). This role can be located in Columbus, OH, Charlottesville, VA, or Durham, NC.

Our summer internship program gives current students the chance to make an impact by contributing ideas and adding a fresh perspective to real client projects. All while receiving one-on-one mentoring from a full-time Product Design team member to ensure you are advancing in your craft. Not only that, but you’ll have snacks galore, and plenty of chances to socialize with your fellow interns — including fun outings during work hours. We’ll have you with us full-time (think 40 hours a week for approx. 11 weeks) and yes, it is definitely paid. Not a bad gig, right? 

We understand our responsibility to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive place within the tech industry, while pushing to make our industry more representative. Because of this responsibility, we need candidates who value diversity and inclusion through their work, team collaboration, or involvement in student organizations.
