Position Overview

The AI Program Manager Intern will help design and operate the AI tools that drive the Government and Defense business team's daily work, with a focus on capture intelligence, business development reporting, and AI-assisted proposal writing. Reporting to the Program Specialist, Government and Defense, and overseen by the Head of Business Development, you will translate the latest large language model (LLM) capabilities into practical, compliance-aware workflows. The team's tooling is still being built out, so curiosity and a willingness to help shape the tech stack matter more than mastery of any single tool.

Job Responsibilities

• Capture intelligence: prototype AI tooling that monitors government websites and related sources for relevant Requests for Information, and proposal notices, flagging opportunities early enough for capture planning.
• BD dashboard and CRM: build and maintain an AI-enabled dashboard and stakeholder CRM that track the pipeline, KPIs, milestones, and key government, partner, and internal contacts.
• AI-assisted proposal drafting: use LLMs to accelerate drafts and reusable assets for government RFI and RFP responses, keeping outputs compliance-aware.
• AI enablement and tool evaluation: research LLM capabilities, run internal sessions, and benchmark Government Contracting platforms to inform build-versus-buy decisions.
• Program support: assist the Program Specialist with workflow automation, milestone tracking, documentation, and meeting preparation.

Desired Knowledge, Skills and Abilities from Intern:

• Completing or recently completed a Master's in Artificial Intelligence in Business, Business Analytics, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related field.
• Minimum 3-5 years of relevant work experience or equivalent education
• Strong working knowledge of modern LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and prompt design.
• Comfort building dashboards, trackers, or lightweight applications (Excel, BI tools, Python, or no-/low-code platforms).
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Proactive, problem-solving mindset and comfort in an early-stage team without an established playbook.
• Preferred: interest in defense or government contracting; familiarity with capture or proposal platforms or Microsoft Copilot; basic Python; Microsoft 365; German language. Valid U.S. Driver's License.
