Job Summary

We are looking for a curious and proactive intern to join our Customer Success organization and help drive meaningful improvements across how our team operates. This is a hands-on role where you will work directly with Customer Success Managers and other internal stakeholders to identify inefficiencies, streamline workflows, and build better documentation and tools - all during an exciting period of change and growth for the team.

This is not a “shadowing” internship. You will take ownership of real work that has a direct impact on how our CSMs serve customers. Whether you come from a business, technical, or hybrid background, you will find meaningful ways to contribute here.

Key Responsibilities

Process Documentation & Knowledge Management

• Build and maintain playbooks, standard operating procedures, and a well-organized knowledge base that gives team members clear, consistent guidance across key scenarios such as onboarding, escalations, and renewals.

• Ensure documentation is structured and maintained with a broad audience in mind to support team training, cross-functional alignment, and the AI tools the team is adopting that depend on reliable and well-organized information to function effectively.

• As new tools and processes roll out, develop supporting materials such as quick reference guides, how-to documentation, or presentation decks that help the team adopt changes quickly and confidently.

Automation & Operational Efficiency

• Identify manual, repetitive tasks across team workflows such as reporting, data pulls, or status updates, and propose or build lightweight automations to reduce that burden.

• Partner with CSMs and other internal stakeholders to understand where their time is being spent and surface opportunities for tooling or process changes that free them up for higher-value customer work.

• Help build or improve dashboards and reports that give the team better visibility into customer health, team performance, and key operational metrics.

Process Improvement & Analysis

• Conduct a structured review of existing processes to identify gaps, redundancies, or areas where the team's approach could be more consistent or scalable.

• Gather input from team members and synthesize findings into clear recommendations.

• Support the rollout and adoption of process changes, helping the team navigate transitions smoothly.

AI & Technology Enablement

• Support the team's evaluation and adoption of AI tools, researching options, summarizing capabilities, and helping build the case for how specific tools can address real pain points.

• Assist with the implementation and rollout of platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, AgentForce, and Power Platform, including building or refining prompts, workflows, and automations tailored to team use cases.

• Help develop AI-assisted processes, for example using AI tools to summarize customer interactions, surface churn risk signals, streamline reporting, or generate first drafts of customer-facing communications.

• For candidates with stronger technical backgrounds, there is potential to take on more hands-on development work, including building integrations, working with APIs, or contributing to agent-based workflow design.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Operations, Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.

• Must be currently enrolled in an accredited institution, with expected graduation between December 2026 and September 2027.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly across different audiences and formats

• Analytical mindset with a genuine interest in finding better ways to get things done.

• Demonstrated ability to quickly pick up new tools, processes, and concepts, and apply them effectively in a fast-moving environment

• Technical skills (Python, SQL, AI/ML tools, Microsoft Power Platform) are a strong plus and will open up additional project scope, but are not required.
