Business Innovation Intern

Fenwick & West•Washington, DC

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Fenwick is excited to offer internship opportunities with our Business Innovation team. We are building a small, high-impact team of technology interns who will design, build, and deploy AI agents to support how one of the country’s leading technology law firms operates and grows. This isn’t a support role. It’s a founding team experience. You’ll work alongside leadership to architect real agentic workflows that drive business development, intelligence, and marketing strategy across the firm. If you want to spend your summer pushing AI from theory to production inside a sophisticated, high-stakes environment, this is your role.

Requirements

Currently enrolled in a CS, data science, information systems, or related technical degree program.
Hands-on experience with programming (Python preferred) and comfort working with APIs, LLMs, or automation tools.
Experience translating ideas into working prototypes and measuring their effectiveness.
Demonstrated ability to work with non-technical users, explain technical concepts, gather feedback, and translate stakeholder needs into technical requirements.
A strong inclination to build — prioritizing shipping over endless specification.

Nice To Haves

Cloud platform experience (Azure Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, or similar) preferred.
Curiosity about new tools, willingness to experiment, and openness to evolving how work is done.

Responsibilities

Scope, build, and validate AI agent workflows targeting business development, business intelligence, and marketing and communications.
Translate business requirements into technical architecture.
Run experiments to measure what works and iterate based on real user feedback.
Propose solutions, challenge assumptions, and leave something real behind.
