About The Position

The AI Business Strategy & Operations Intern will work directly with senior leadership to accelerate AI adoption across the agency in a hands-on, builder-focused role. The intern will create tools used in the day-to-day work of account teams, media operators, and clients, rather than focusing on research alone.

The role includes helping teams adopt AI-assisted workflows, creating reusable prompts and playbooks, providing training on AI coding and automation tools, and prototyping automations for repetitive workflows. The intern will also help develop AI tools for client engagements, build dashboards and reporting, support internal training and operations, and research and pilot promising AI tools and platforms.

The position offers direct exposure to how an AI-forward agency builds tools and pitches clients, practical experience building AI-powered systems used by paying clients, mentorship from senior agency leadership, and a portfolio of shipped automations, tools, and dashboards.

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 their potential to change how work gets done, with existing use of AI tools and a desire to learn more.
• Ability to pick up new tools quickly and experiment with limited hand-holding.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical ideas to non-technical teammates.
• Highly organized and self-directed, with the ability to manage several small projects and follow through without heavy oversight.
• Collaborative, low-ego approach to working across teams with different priorities and levels of AI fluency.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where the role may change as the program matures.

• Design and run training sessions on modern AI coding and automation tools.
• Build small tools and scripts that team members can run themselves.
• Identify repetitive account-team workflows, prototype automations, help integrate them into daily work, and measure time saved.
• Scope and help build purpose-built AI tools for client workstreams alongside account leads, such as competitive intelligence sweeps, creative QA, and vertical benchmarking.
• Build dashboards for team performance, client-facing reporting, and leadership operations.
• Support company-wide AI training initiatives and day-to-day operations, and help improve the program over time.
• Research and test new AI tools and platforms, identify promising opportunities, and help pitch, scope, and pilot them.
