Who we're looking for:

As part of our growing team, you will play a key role in shaping the future of sustainable product development. We’re looking for innovative, driven MBA Interns who are passionate about technology, AI, and sustainability to join us in building tools that enable companies to make smarter, more responsible decisions. In this role, you will work directly with our Chief of Staff and executive team to build scalable processes, drive data-centric decision-making, execute high-priority strategic initiatives, and pioneer the use of internal AI workflows. If you are passionate about sustainability, thrive in ambiguity, and want hands-on experience scaling a technology company—particularly through the application of generative AI—we want to hear from you.

The role:

Design & Implement AI & Agentic Workflows

• Act as an internal champion for AI adoption, identifying high-impact use cases across operations, sales, and product where AI can drive massive efficiency gains.

• Design, build, and deploy agentic workflows and AI-driven automation to streamline repetitive tasks and scale the effectiveness of the Office of the CEO.

• Partner with the Chief of Staff and technical teams to test, iterate, and integrate LLMs and AI tools into our standard operating procedures.

Build and Maintain Data Infrastructure

• Support the development of real-time dashboards and KPI reporting for the CEO and leadership team.

• Leverage SQL and analytical tools to extract, analyze, and present data that drives decision-making.

• Identify gaps in current data systems and propose scalable solutions.

Drive SOP Documentation and Adoption

• Assist in documenting standard operating procedures across key business functions.

• Work closely with the Chief of Staff to ensure processes are clearly defined, accessible, and consistently followed.

• Help identify inefficiencies and recommend process improvements.

Support Strategic Execution & Enhance Office of the CEO Effectiveness

• Provide analytical and operational support to increase the leverage and impact of the Office of the CEO.

• Track progress of key strategic initiatives, coordinate across teams to gather updates, remove blockers, and maintain momentum.

• Follow up on action items and ensure accountability across stakeholders.

• Take ownership of high-priority ad hoc projects, translating complex data into clear, actionable insights for senior leadership.

• Education: Currently pursuing (or recently completed) an MBA from a top-tier program.

• Passion for AI & Automation: You have a deep, active interest in generative AI and agentic workflows. You actively experiment with tools to solve real-world problems and optimize processes.

• Analytical Depth & Execution Speed: You balance competing workstreams and apply judgment to determine when deep analysis is required versus when rapid execution is sufficient.

• High-Pace Adaptability: You adapt quickly to shifting priorities, work independently with limited direction, and demonstrate sound judgment in ambiguous, fast-moving situations.

• Cross-Functional Engagement: You collaborate effectively with stakeholders across all departments, communicate persuasively without formal authority, and build strong relationships.

• High Standards of Quality: You produce work that is accurate, thoughtful, and ready for senior leadership review, taking ownership of deliverables from day one.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Salary – We reward your skills and experience with a compensation package that reflects your value.
