Operations & Workplace Intern

• Come help us build
• ZeroDrift is an early-stage AI compliance startup. We are an early stage team, building in real time — which is exactly why someone sharp and reliable who keeps things running makes an outsized difference. That's this role. You'll keep our office and team humming, and get a front-row seat to how a startup actually gets built.

• About the role
• You'll work side-by-side with our Head of Operations, helping keep the heartbeat of the company running. Your home base is making our in-office days run smoothly, but this is much more than office management: you'll take on rotating projects across sales, marketing, product, and research, and see how the whole company fits together. No two weeks will look the same.
• If you're highly organized, love solving problems, and are excited by the idea of wearing multiple hats, you'll make a real impact from day one, learn directly from experienced leaders, and grow alongside a fast-moving AI company.

**Paid, part-time, in-office Tuesday through Thursday mornings at our office in downtown Manhattan.

• What you'll do
• Office and team operations

Keep our in-office days running smoothly — team breakfasts and lunches, supplies, common spaces, and being an on-the-ground point of contact

A rare vantage point across the whole company, from sales to product to research, and how the pieces fit together

Direct mentorship from experienced operators and founders

Who you are
