AI Business Strategy & Operations Intern

Direct Agents • New York, NY

4d • $25 - $30

About The Position

You'll work directly with senior leadership to accelerate AI adoption across the agency in a hands-on, builder-focused role. This isn't research — you'll ship tools that account teams, media operators, and clients use in their day-to-day work.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Marketing, or a related field
• Genuine curiosity about AI tools and how they can change the way work gets done — you use them already and want to go deeper, not just dabble
• Comfort picking up new tools quickly and experimenting without a lot of hand-holding
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to explain a technical idea to a non-technical teammate
• Highly organized and self-directed — able to manage several small projects at once and follow through without heavy oversight
• Collaborative, low-ego approach to working across teams with different priorities and levels of AI fluency
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, still-figuring-it-out environment where the role will evolve as the program matures

Nice To Haves

• Some exposure to scripting, light coding, or workflow automation is a plus, but not required — we care more about your ability to learn than your current skill set

Responsibilities

• AI enablement across the agency. Coach teams on AI-assisted workflows that compress execution time. Build a reusable library of prompts, templates, and playbooks for media, creative, analytics, and account teams.
• Hands-on AI tool training. Design and run training sessions on modern AI coding and automation tools. Ship small tools and scripts that team members can run themselves.
• Automation enablement. Identify repetitive workflows on account teams, prototype automations, help bring them into daily use, and measure time saved.
• AI in client engagements. Scope and help build purpose-built AI tools that integrate into client workstreams alongside account leads — for example, competitive intelligence sweeps, creative QA, or vertical benchmarking.
• Dashboards & reporting. Build dashboards across the agency — team performance views, client-facing reporting, and operations views for leadership.
• Internal trainings & operations. Support company-wide AI training initiatives and day-to-day operations, helping refine and improve the program over time.
• AI & tool research. Research and test new AI tools and platforms. Identify what could move the business forward, then help pitch, scope, and pilot the most promising ones.

Benefits

• Direct exposure to how an AI-forward agency builds tools and pitches clients
• Hands-on experience building AI-powered systems that paying clients actually use
• Mentorship from senior agency leadership
• A portfolio of shipped automations, tools, and dashboards you can point to
