About NAYA
NAYA is travel haircare built for people who don't stop moving. Founded by two co-founders, we're gearing up to launch our hero product — the Flyaway Hair Mascara — in the US this September. We're a lean, two-person team, which means every intern gets real ownership, not busywork.
About the Role
We need a design-minded, self-directed intern to help us execute a high-stakes September launch across content, design, and light ops. Here's exactly what you'd be doing:
Content & Social
- Help populate and design our pre-launch Instagram content calendar — following our established visual system: brand colors, typography, flyaway graphic elements, and logo placement rules
- Build out feed posts using our real brand assets (photos, extracted PNGs, stamps)
- Support TikTok Shop content and help manage our 30-creator seeding campaign (sending kits, tracking deliverables, following up with creators)
- Assist with copywriting for captions, product descriptions, and creator briefs
Design & UX/UI
- Design and help maintain our waitlist landing page (must be live before our first pre-launch post)
- Contribute to visual polish across any web or product touchpoints
- Help extend our existing design system (colors, fonts, layout templates) as we add new content types
Systems & Automation
- Help us build and refine lightweight systems — content trackers, scheduling templates, creator seeding logs
- Identify repetitive manual tasks and help us automate or template them
You'll be involved from now through launch month, so you'll see a project through from build to live — a rare thing for an internship.
What You'll Gain
- Eligible for academic credit (we're happy to complete any paperwork your program requires)
- Direct mentorship from two founders building a brand from the ground up
- Real ownership over launch-critical deliverables
- A front-row seat to a DTC brand launch, from pre-launch content to Day 1
- Portfolio-ready work across social content, UI, and brand systems
- Flexible, self-directed hours that work around your schedule
What We're Looking For
- Currently pursuing an undergraduate degree (design, marketing, UX, or related — or just a strong portfolio/interest)
- Comfort with design tools (Figma, Canva, Adobe Suite, or similar)
- An eye for clean, minimal aesthetics — you'll work within an established brand system, not create from scratch
- Interest in social platforms (Instagram, TikTok) and how content performs
- Self-starter who can work independently in a remote, flexible setup
- Bonus: experience with automation tools, Notion, Excel, or workflow systems
