Internship Summary

We're seeking a high-energy Operations Intern to dive into the fast-paced world of a growing AI/Web3 travel startup. This role is perfect for either a
recent college graduate
looking to kickstart your career or a
senior undergraduate
ready to tackle real responsibility. You'll support core operations, from streamlining processes to handling platform logistics and partner coordination. Expect a dynamic environment where no two days are the same—high energy and a proactive mindset are essential as you'll help keep our innovative travel economy running smoothly while learning from a motivated team.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in day-to-day operations, including monitoring AI concierge workflows, inventory integrations, and token transaction flows (STAY, PERQ, RNFTs).
• Support process optimization: identify bottlenecks in booking/rebooking logic, VIP arrangements, or user onboarding and propose quick-win improvements.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (engineering, product, partnerships) to execute operational tasks and track project timelines.
• Conduct research on travel industry trends, competitor platforms, hotel/supplier APIs, and blockchain ops best practices.
• Help manage partner onboarding, data entry/validation, and reporting (e.g., dashboards for booking volume, token usage, or savings metrics).
• Contribute to special projects like scaling operational tools (Notion, Slack, Airtable), testing new features, or organizing internal events.
• Handle ad-hoc tasks with enthusiasm—whether it's analyzing user feedback, preparing reports, or jumping into urgent operational needs.

Required Qualifications

• Current senior undergraduate or recent graduate (within the last 12 months) in Business Administration, Operations Management, Entrepreneurship, Economics, or a related field.
• High energy and proactive attitude
  —you thrive in fast-moving environments and love taking initiative without constant direction.
• Strong organizational skills with impeccable attention to detail.
• Excellent communication (written and verbal) and ability to collaborate across teams.
• Proficiency in Google Workspace/Microsoft Office; familiarity with tools like Notion, Airtable, Slack, or Excel/Google Sheets for data handling.
• Genuine interest in tech startups, AI, blockchain/tokenization, or the travel industry.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous internship experience in operations, startups, tech, or hospitality/travel.
• Basic understanding of Web3 concepts (tokens, NFTs) or eagerness to learn quickly.
• Experience with data analysis, process mapping, or project management tools.
• Comfort with remote work and asynchronous communication.
• Bonus: Multilingual skills or personal passion for travel.
