Summer Business Operations & Strategy Analyst Intern
Description
The One-Sentence Pitch
You will do more real work, own more real outcomes, and sit closer to real decisions in twelve weeks here than most people do in their first two years anywhere else.
Who We Are
Omnidya sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, insurance, fleet intelligence, and computer vision — building the data and automation infrastructure that a century-old industry never had the tools to build.
We move at founder speed, and we are small enough that the work you do this summer will ship, get used, and matter. There is no rotation program designed to keep you busy. There is no twenty-person intern cohort competing for a single project. There is a team that needs sharp people and is willing to hand real problems to anyone who can solve them.
Our operating culture borrows the parts of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and the startup world that actually produce results, and discards the parts that don't:
Meritocracy over hierarchy. The best idea wins, regardless of who it came from.
Ownership over assignment. You will own outcomes, not tasks.
Speed over process. We'd rather ship, learn, and correct than deliberate for a month.
High trust, high standards. We give you room and expect you to fill it.
Extreme accountability. When something is yours, it's yours.
We are not the right fit for someone who wants a comfortable, well-defined, low-stakes summer. We are exactly the right fit for someone who wants to find out how good they actually are.
What You'll Actually Do
This is not a shadowing internship. From week one, you will be embedded with leadership and cross-functional teams, owning work that the company depends on.
Business Operations
Build and maintain the operational reporting and executive dashboards leadership uses to run the company
Track the KPIs that matter and surface the ones that should
Identify broken or slow processes and redesign them
Drive internal projects end-to-end, from scoping to delivery
Create the documentation and operating procedures the company is missing
AI-Powered Analysis
Build AI-driven workflows using Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and whatever ships next month
Automate reporting and analysis that currently eats hours of human time
Distill complex, messy information into clear, executive-ready output
Become the person who knows how to make these tools do real work, not party tricks
Financial & Strategic Analysis
Size markets and pressure-test revenue opportunities
Benchmark competitors and map the landscape
Model unit economics and analyze our business model
Support financial modeling for strategic decisions
Market Intelligence
Run industry, competitor, and technology research that directly informs strategy
Track emerging technologies and what they mean for us
Research potential investors, partners, and acquisition targets
Special Projects
Take on high-priority, ambiguous, executive-sponsored initiatives with real deadlines and real consequences — the assignments that don't fit neatly into any one team and need someone sharp to just figure it out
Who You Are
We care about horsepower, hustle, and judgment far more than your résumé.
You are:
Relentlessly ambitious and a little impatient with the status quo
A self-starter who doesn't wait to be told what to do
Genuinely curious — you go three levels deeper than asked
Organized and calm under pressure, juggling priorities without dropping them
A clear, sharp writer who can make complex things simple
Comfortable with ambiguity and willing to act before everything is certain
The kind of person who takes ownership without being asked twice
Preferred background — students pursuing Business, Finance, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Information Systems, Applied Mathematics, or Statistics. A strong GPA helps, but it's not a gate. We've hired brilliant people with mediocre transcripts and passed on perfect ones who couldn't execute.
Must-have skills
Advanced Excel / Google Sheets
PowerPoint and presentation development
Strong writing
Research and data interpretation
Real fluency with AI tools
The ability to learn anything fast
Nice-to-have skills
SQL, Python
Tableau, Power BI
Notion, Airtable
Financial modeling
Prior startup, consulting, or investment research experience
If you have some of the must-haves and the raw ability to pick up the rest in a weekend, apply anyway.
What Success Looks Like
We don't measure interns by hours logged or tasks completed. By the end of the summer, a successful analyst will have:
Shipped something that's still in use after you leave — a dashboard, a model, an automated workflow, a process that outlives the internship
Owned at least one project end-to-end that a leader was counting on, and delivered it
Built AI workflows that measurably saved the team time or unlocked analysis we couldn't do before
Earned the trust to be handed progressively harder, more ambiguous problems as the summer goes on
Become someone we fight to bring back — the clearest signal of a great summer is a return offer
If you do this well, you won't leave with a line on your résumé. You'll leave with proof of what you can do, references who will go to bat for you, and a standing offer to come back
