Business Operations Intern

About Us

Join us in building the leading AI-Powered Mission Control for Corporate Travel. Some of the world's most recognizable companies, representing over $4T in market value, rely on Clarasight's software to reduce risks, save costs, protect revenues, and manage emissions aligned with business objectives and sustainability goals.

About You

• You are a sharp generalist - organized, analytical, and energized by the idea of making a company run better. You notice when things are slow, messy, or manual, and you instinctively look for ways to fix them.
• You are AI-forward by default. You already use AI tools to research, draft, analyze, and move faster in your own work - and you're excited to bring that same leverage into a real business.
• You want to be part of a small team where you can see how the whole company works, get exposure to founders, and have your contributions matter from day one.

About the Role

• We are hiring a Business Operations Intern to support the foundations of how Clarasight runs - across finance, hiring, internal systems, reporting, and cross-functional coordination.
• This is a broad, high-visibility role. You'll work directly with founders and team leads on the real problems of scaling an early-stage company, and you'll use AI as a core part of how you get that work done.
• Every workflow you touch, you should also be asking: "Can AI make this faster, better, or cheaper next time?"

Key Responsibilities

Run Core Business Ops

• Support day-to-day operations across finance, hiring, vendor management, and internal coordination.
• Help prepare reports, dashboards, and updates for founders and the broader team.
• Build and maintain lightweight systems (trackers, SOPs, internal docs) that help the company run.

Apply AI as Leverage

• Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Notion AI, Clay, etc.) to accelerate research, analysis, drafting, and reporting.
• Identify manual or repetitive ops workflows and propose AI-powered ways to handle them.
• Partner with the AI Automation intern and broader team to turn good ideas into shipped workflows.

Support Cross-Functional Projects

• Help founders and team leads with ad-hoc projects spanning GTM, hiring, finance, and operations.
• Pull data, synthesize findings, and turn them into clear recommendations.
• Document what you learn so the next person (intern or FTE) can build on it.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You...

• Are a current student or recent grad (summer internship or part-time during the school year both work).
• Are already using AI tools meaningfully in your schoolwork, projects, or previous roles.
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills - you can summarize, simplify, and synthesize.
• Are organized and detail-oriented, but comfortable moving quickly with imperfect information.
• Can work independently with minimal direction and know when to ask for help.
• Are excited by early-stage startup environments where priorities shift and ownership is real.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with spreadsheets, basic SQL, or data analysis tools.
• Prior internship or project experience in operations, finance, consulting, or a generalist startup role.
• Familiarity with tools like Notion, Loveable, HubSpot, or similar.
• Background or interest in corporate travel, sustainability, or enterprise SaaS.
