Business Operations Intern

(Office of COO & Operations)

Immediate Start Required 

We are hiring a Business Operations Intern to work directly with our Chief Operations Officer, Head of Customer Success and the Ops team at the center of a fast-scaling AI startup. This is a high-trust, high-learning role designed for someone early in their career who wants deep exposure to how a venture-backed company operates day-to-day.

You will sit at the intersection of leadership, execution, and internal systems—supporting the company’s operating rhythm, coordinating across teams, and building the foundational processes that allow InstaLILY to move faster as we grow.

This role offers direct mentorship from the executive team and visibility into the company’s highest-priority initiatives across growth, GTM, partnerships, product, and operations. This internship also offers the possibility of conversion to a full-time role.

We are looking for someone hungry to learn, relentlessly organized, and energized by high-stakes execution. You move fast, take ownership naturally, and raise the quality of everything you touch.

You thrive in environments with shifting priorities and high standards, and you enjoy building systems that make teams more effective. You will use AI tools aggressively to increase leverage, stay one step ahead of leadership needs, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
