Business Intern
About The Position
Consulting is finally reaching small and medium businesses. Strategy consulting has long had a price floor, making serious advisory work tend to start around $100,000, which left small and mid-sized businesses largely outside the market. That's starting to change as analytical work that would have taken weeks can now often be done by an agile team with a good AI workflow. We are a managed IT and cybersecurity firm working with clients across aerospace, defense, healthcare, and professional services in Southern California. We have relationships and an unusual amount of data (ticket history, systems inventory, security posture, software spend) for every client. We're building a consulting practice that turns that operational data into actionable recommendations.
Requirements
- Business, finance, economics, or analytics student.
- Curious about how companies actually run.
- Reasonably comfortable with messy data and Excel.
- Clear writer.
Nice To Haves
- Experience using AI tools like Claude on coursework.
- Understanding of where AI tools are genuinely useful and where they aren't.
- Desire to proactively find answers rather than wait to be assigned questions.
Responsibilities
- Take a live client and pull their operational data.
- Analyze data to identify areas of financial leakage, underutilized systems, recurring issues, and potential compliance exposures.
- Build analyses and write up recommendations.
- Shape the advisory recommendations provided to clients with your work.
Benefits
- A portfolio of real client work.
- Real fluency in AI-assisted analysis.
- Understanding of building a business model from the inside.
