About NexScale

NexScale is an AI-native software company on a mission to extend human longevity by empowering wellness and fitness businesses with intelligent, human-centered AI.

Our flagship product is an AI Business Partner for boutique wellness and fitness studios that helps owners improve member retention, reduce burnout, and build stronger communities.

We are not building another generic SaaS platform. We are building agentic AI systems that reason, decide, and act inside real business operations—without increasing cognitive load for non-technical operators.

About This Product Marketing & UX Design Internship

This is not a surface-level design or “make things pretty” role.

We intentionally design internships at NexScale as a talent pipeline for long-term contributors. This role is best suited for candidates who already have hands-on experience in product design, UX, or product marketing design and want to deepen their skills in AI-native, production-grade B2B products.

Exceptional performance during the internship may lead to:

• A full-time role at NexScale, or

• An extension of the internship for 12 months or longer, depending on mutual fit, funding structure, and team needs.

Who This Role Is For

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Have prior hands-on experience in product design, UX design, or product marketing design (internships, startups, freelance, or in-house teams)

• Are fluent in Figma and Canva and can move confidently between product UX and marketing assets

• Understand how design influences clarity, trust, adoption, and conversion

• Are comfortable working closely with founders and product teams

• Care about building products that create real business and human impact

• Take ownership, communicate clearly, and follow through

You do not need to be senior.
You do need to be capable, thoughtful, and accountable.

What You’ll Work On

Product UX & Interface Design

• Design and iterate on operator-facing UX flows for a B2B SaaS platform

• Translate complex AI-driven functionality into clear, intuitive interfaces

• Create and maintain UI components, layouts, and interaction patterns in Figma

• Collaborate closely with product and engineering to ship usable, production-ready experiences

Product Marketing & Go-To-Market Design

• Design product marketing assets, including:

  • Landing pages

  • Product visuals and diagrams

  • Pitch decks and one-pagers

  • Pilot and sales enablement materials

• Support pilot launches with fast, high-quality design execution

• Ensure consistency across product, brand, and marketing touchpoints

Design Practice

• Present and explain design decisions clearly

• Iterate quickly based on feedback and real user needs

• Balance speed with quality in a fast-moving, early-stage environment

What Success Looks Like

By the end of the internship, a strong intern will have:

• Shipped real product UX improvements used by live customers

• Delivered multiple high-quality product marketing assets used in pilots or GTM

• Demonstrated strong design judgment, clarity, and execution speed

• Built trust with the product and leadership team through ownership and reliability

• Shown readiness for expanded scope through full-time hiring or extended internship

Required Qualifications

• Prior experience in product design, UX, or product marketing design

• Ability to present a strong portfolio (required — applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed)

• Clear communication skills and attention to detail

• Eligible for Canadian internship grant programs (legally eligible to work in Canada, a resident of Canada, and graduated no more than 2 years ago from a Canadian university).

Nice to Have

• Experience with Framer (highly valued)

• Experience designing for B2B SaaS or AI-powered products

• Familiarity with early-stage startup environments

• Interest in wellness, fitness, or retention-driven business models

Why NexScale

• Work closely with a 3× experienced founder and a high-bar, interdisciplinary team

• Design applied, production-grade AI products used by real businesses

• Gain hands-on experience shaping both product UX and go-to-market design

• See your work directly impact real operators, real communities, and real outcomes

• Join a team that values clarity, empathy, ownership, and execution over titles or bureaucracy

Final Note

We view internships as a two-way commitment.

When there is strong mutual fit and sustained impact, we prefer to extend and grow people rather than restart hiring. If you’re looking for meaningful ownership, real responsibility, and a clear path forward, this role is designed for you.
