About GenAIx

GenAIx is an enterprise AI workforce behavioral change and upskilling platform. We provide continuously updated, role-specific training and a research-backed system for lasting behavior change and change management in the workplace. We are an early-stage company with signed pilot customers, and you will work directly with the founders.

The Role

You will design how people learn, adopt, and sustain new ways of working with AI. This includes interfaces that provide leaders with clear visibility into adoption and skill gaps, and experiences that help employees build new habits, from onboarding and in-workflow nudges to progress tracking and reinforcement loops. Your work will be implemented in real enterprise pilots.

Key Responsibilities

• Design user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma for dashboards, learner experiences, and admin tools.
• Design behavior-change mechanics grounded in research: prompts, nudges, reminders, feedback, and reinforcement.
• Map the employee journey from awareness to habit and identify drop-off points.
• Translate complex workforce data into easily readable data visualizations for leaders.
• Build and maintain a lightweight design system with a clean, data-dense, Bloomberg-inspired feel.
• Conduct quick research with pilot users: interviews, usability tests, and feedback synthesis.
• Collaborate with engineers on handoff and review shipped work.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Authentic DesignTaste
• Working proficiency with AI-native tools
• A portfolio showcasing your design process: problem, research, iterations, outcome.
• Solid UX fundamentals: information architecture, accessibility (WCAG), usability heuristics.
• Genuine interest in behavioral science and how design shapes habits and decisions.
• Clear communication and comfort giving and receiving feedback.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with behavior-change frameworks (COM-B, Fogg Behavior Model, nudge theory).
• Experience designing for learning, habit-forming, or wellness products.
• Dashboard, analytics, or B2B SaaS design experience.
• Basic HTML/CSS or React.
• Comfort with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools.

What You’ll Gain

• Direct mentorship from a founder with experience at J.P. Morgan, BCG, and Latham & Watkins.
• Real ownership: your designs will be presented to enterprise customers.
• A distinctive portfolio piece at the intersection of AI, behavioral design, and enterprise software.
• Exposure to the startup lifecycle, from product strategy to fundraising.
• A letter of recommendation and a possible path to a paid role.
• A flexible schedule accommodating your classes and other commitments.
