Introduction to the role: We are looking for a motivated and curious university student to join our team as an AI Business Support Specialist Intern. This internship is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting artificial intelligence projects and to learn how AI solutions move from development and testing through implementation and adoption. Working alongside experienced team members, you will support activities related to project coordination, solution testing, user acceptance testing, training materials, documentation, and stakeholder communication. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of teams, which may include data scientists, developers, project managers, business partners, subject matter experts, and end users. This role is ideal for a student who is interested in the intersection of AI, technology, business, and project management. You do not need to be an AI developer or machine learning expert. Instead, we are looking for someone who is eager to learn, comfortable working with technology, organized, and interested in helping teams successfully introduce new AI-enabled solutions. Throughout the internship, you will gain exposure to different stages of the AI project lifecycle, including requirements gathering, testing, user feedback, training, implementation readiness, and post-launch support. You will also build practical experience working in a cross-functional, professional environment.
