UI/UX Design Internship

About ZOVU

ZOVU is a worldwide online startup creating the operating system for modern restaurants. The company aims to bring together the many disconnected parts of hospitality software into one platform that handles point of sale, loyalty, reservations, staff scheduling, and a customer app. Instead of charging heavy monthly SaaS fees, ZOVU works on a partnership approach and earns through a transaction margin on sales, so its growth is tied to customer success. The team operates fully remotely across the globe and is moving quickly as new features are added.

ZOVU says its hiring process is inclusive and welcomes people who are ready to work hard and help build a product from the ground up. Candidates do not need to match every requirement; interest in the role and the Horeca industry is encouraged.

Role Overview

The company is seeking an ambitious UI/UX Design Intern to join its global product team. This position is focused on learning SaaS product design while contributing to the creation of smooth, easy-to-use experiences across the ZOVU platform. The intern will support end users such as restaurant owners, staff members, and guests by helping make tasks like POS transactions, reservations, and loyalty program management simple and efficient.

This is a fully remote internship. The role gives you ownership over your time, projects, and output. As part of an early-stage startup, you will work directly with the founders and engineering team, helping shape the product's visual style and user experience from an early stage.

• You are self-motivated and able to stay consistent in a fully remote setup.
• You communicate your design thinking clearly and work well with technical and business stakeholders.
• You have empathy for restaurant operations and understand the need for fast, reliable interfaces in busy service environments.

• Fast-moving startup culture with little bureaucracy and quick decision-making.
• Strong learning and career growth opportunities at an early-stage company.
• The opportunity to contribute to a product that is being built for the Horeca industry.
