About the Operations Experience Team
The way people experience a company isn't defined by one big moment—it's shaped by hundreds of small ones. The first day on the job. A leader's message after a major milestone. An All Hands that leaves you excited about where the company is going. Those moments don't happen by accident.
Operations Experience exists to design those moments with intention. We partner with leaders across Operations to build the communications, systems, and experiences that help people feel informed, engaged, and inspired as the organization grows. One day we might be designing a leadership experience, the next we could be reimagining onboarding, creating a new communications strategy, planning an event or recognition moment, or building tools that make it easier for teams to find the information they need. We love turning ideas into experiences and bringing order to complexity. Above all, we believe the details matter in every moment.
The Role
As an Operations Experience Intern, you’ll work on real projects across internal communications, events, onboarding, employee engagement, and the systems we use to keep teams connected. You may help build a new employee experience, organize information so it is easier to find, support an Operations event, develop communications, or turn an idea into a polished resource that teams can actually use. Your work will contribute directly to shaping an Operations experience that grows alongside the organization. You’ll work closely with the Head of Operations Experience and cross-functional partners, learning how strategy moves from an idea to a fully executed experience in a fast-moving environment.
What You'll Do
• Support the development and execution of Operations communications, including drafting, editing, designing content, and ensuring information is clear, consistent, and actionable.
• Plan and create employee experiences across All Hands, events, offsites, onboarding, and other culture-building moments.
• Partner on the organization and innovation of internal resources and information systems, including digital workplace pages, communication calendars, design, and planning tools.
• Assist with
