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.

An integral segment of our company is Fuel iX™, TELUS Digital's proprietary generative AI engine. Fuel iX™ empowers businesses to transition their generative AI initiatives from concept to operational reality quickly, securely, and responsibly. This powerful tool enhances TELUS Digital’s ability to create and implement solutions that not only elevate customer engagement but also address complex business challenges.

Location & Flexibility 

Ourinternsare 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. 

The Opportunity

Our summer internship program gives current students the chance to make an impact by contributing ideas and adding a fresh perspective to our Fuel iX™ product. You’ll have exposure to the full stack of disciplines - product management, developers, researchers, and collaborate directly with a team of designers who are passionate about pouring into young talent and giving you opportunities to learn and grow. To ensure you advance in your craft, you will have numerous opportunities to collaborate with team members in your discipline, discussing the latest design trends, while also benefiting from a 1-on-1 mentorship relationship with an experienced Product Designer.

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.
