Converse AI Enablement Graduate Intern

Converse is a place to explore potential, break barriers and push out the edges of what can be. The company looks for people who can grow, think, dream and create. Its culture thrives by embracing diversity and rewarding imagination. The brand seeks achievers, leaders and visionaries. At Converse, it’s about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving world to make things better as a team.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH:

The Enterprise Acceleration & Operations team stewards the Office of the CEO to turn Converse’s most important enterprise priorities into coordinated action. The team works across the Senior Leadership Team and key functions to structure complex problems, align leaders, accelerate decisions, and deliver cross-functional work that matters to the business.

As the AI Enablement Graduate Intern, you will work closely with the Sr. Director, Enterprise Acceleration & Operations, Principal, AI Enablement and leaders across Converse. You will help push the boundaries of how we think about AI across the enterprise and how leaders use AI to run the business, make decisions, and lead their teams. You will own a defined AI project from problem framing through recommendation, activation, and measurement.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Converse is looking for an MBA candidate with management / strategy consulting or equivalent experience who can independently structure and deliver a high-impact project in an ambiguous, cross-functional environment.

You should be able to turn a broad business question into a clear project brief, align stakeholders, conduct rigorous analysis, and drive the work through execution. Deep technical expertise is not required. Strong AI fluency, curiosity, and the ability to translate emerging technology into practical business change are essential.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON:

You will own a priority AI enablement project from start to finish. Working with a cross-functional team, you will structure the project, align leaders on the brief, conduct the analysis, develop the recommendation, and move the work into execution. The project will test new ways to use AI across Converse, including how leaders use AI to make decisions, manage the business, and increase the effectiveness of their teams.

Potential project areas may include:

Redesigning a high-friction enterprise workflow with generative AI, automation, or agents.
Creating and testing AI-enabled management reporting, scorecards, meeting preparation, decision support, or knowledge management.
Developing a role-based AI activation model for a priority function to improve how Converse serves consumers
Identifying where AI can create capacity and how that capacity should be measured and reinvested.
Building a repeatable playbook for moving AI use cases from idea to adoption and measurable value.

WHAT YOU BRING:

Qualifications:

Enrolled in an MBA program with an expected graduation date of December 2027 or Spring 2028.
3–5 years of pre-MBA professional experience strongly preferred.
Experience in management consulting, strategy consulting, corporate strategy, enterprise transformation, organizational effectiveness, digital transformation, or an equivalent role.
Demonstrated experience structuring ambiguous problems, developing a project approach, aligning stakeholders on scope, and independently driving work to completion.
Understanding of generative AI, agentic AI, automation and AI-enabled productivity tools, including their practical limitations and responsible-use considerations.
A resume and cover letter are both required. Please upload and submit as a single combined PDF file.

Skills:

Demonstrated problem structuring, hypothesis development, work planning, and strategic problem-solving skills.
Ability to develop a clear project brief that defines the business problem, intended outcomes, scope, milestones, stakeholders, decision points, risks, and measures of success.
Ability to build alignment, manage stakeholders, facilitate working sessions, and advance cross-functional work without direct authority.
Strong quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, including synthesis of business, operational, usage, and stakeholder evidence.
Excellent written, verbal, and executive communication skills, with the ability to translate complex AI topics into clear business language and present to senior executives.
Ability to navigate ambiguity, exercise sound judgment, and move independently from direction to delivery.
