Project & Operations Management Intern

Description

What You’ll Do

• Coordinate updates across departments and synthesize them into clear briefs for leadership.
• Maintain dashboards and trackers for key initiatives, deadlines, and owners.
• Translate leadership decisions into actionable steps for cross-functional teams.
• Prepare agendas, gather inputs, and ensure follow-ups for leadership meetings are executed.
• Identify blockers early and escalate them before they become issues.

• Assist with operational projects such as:
  • Researching requirements (logistics, tax implications, compliance, hiring).
  • Evaluating vendors, tools, SaaS platforms, and operational processes.
  • Supporting internal process creation, reporting systems, and accountability frameworks.
• Conduct market, regulatory, or cost research to support strategic projects (e.g., expansion into new geographic markets).
• Help build lightweight, repeatable systems that improve operational clarity and efficiency.

• Support basic software/tooling evaluations (CRM, PM tools, SaaS ops tools).
• Assist with data entry, clean-up, imports/exports, and light analysis (Excel/Sheets).
• Help coordinate with developers or partners on tech-related projects by documenting needs, organizing requirements, and tracking progress.
• Provide general operational support related to IT systems and tools when needed.

Who We’re Looking For

• Final-year student or recent graduate
• Strong interest in operations, logistics, project management, or business execution.
• Highly organized, structured, and able to manage multiple moving parts.
• Tech-comfortable—able to learn new tools quickly (e.g., CRM, PM software, Excel).
• Excellent communication: clear, concise, and confident following up with stakeholders.
• Proactive, resourceful, and able to figure things out independently with limited instructions.
• Curious about how startups operate behind the scenes.

• Experience coordinating projects, student organizations, event logistics, or internships involving operations.
• Exposure to CRMs, PM tools (Asana, ClickUp, Notion, Monday, etc.).
• Basic understanding of IT systems or software concepts (APIs, SaaS, integrations—not development).
• Experience doing structured research (market, regulatory, cost, or academic research).

Why This Role Is Unique

• Real responsibility from day one—your work directly affects leadership decisions.
• Hands-on learning: You’ll see how a fast-scaling marketplace runs internally.
• Not a software internship—you are operations/project-first, tech-second.
• Future opportunity: Strong performers will be considered for future full-time roles.
• High-impact exposure: Work alongside the CEO and Director of Operations.
