AI Implementation Planning Intern

The AI Implementation Planning Intern will support the Human Resources team by researching practical AI opportunities, documenting current-state HR processes, and developing a structured AI implementation plan. This role focuses on analysis, stakeholder input, and recommendations (not independent system changes) and is ideal for a student interested in HR transformation, analytics, and responsible AI.

How You'll Make An Impact:

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with HR leaders and subject-matter experts to understand current workflows, pain points, and success measures (e.g., Talent Acquisition, HR Operations, HR Technology/HRIS, Learning, Analytics, Compliance).
• Research and benchmark AI use cases relevant to HR (e.g., knowledge assistants for policies, workflow nudges, recruiting/onboarding automation, survey insights, HR analytics) and summarize findings in clear, non-technical language.
• Inventory existing tools and systems and document potential integration considerations at a high level (e.g., where data lives, key stakeholders, dependencies).
• Evaluate opportunities using a simple framework (impact/value, effort, risk, data readiness, change management considerations).
• Draft an AI implementation plan/roadmap that includes prioritized use cases, recommended pilots, timeline, roles/responsibilities, governance, and a measurement approach.
• Identify responsible AI considerations (privacy, security, bias/fairness, transparency, human oversight) and propose mitigations and decision points.
• Create presentation materials and facilitate readouts to HR stakeholders; incorporate feedback into final recommendations.

Expected Deliverables:

• AI opportunity scan for HR (use-case list with brief descriptions and examples).
• Current-state summary (key HR processes reviewed, pain points, and constraints).
• Prioritization matrix/scoring and recommended shortlist of pilot candidates.
• AI implementation plan (phases, timeline, stakeholders, dependencies, governance, risks, and success metrics).
• Final presentation for HR leadership summarizing recommendations and next steps.

What You Bring:

Required Qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's program (or Master's program) in Human Resources, Business, Information Systems, Data/Business Analytics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong research, writing, and presentation skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to translate technical concepts into clear summaries for non-technical audiences.
• Comfort working with ambiguity, asking good questions, and organizing information into structured outputs (e.g., plans, tables, slides).
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
• Professional discretion and ability to handle sensitive information appropriately.
• 3.0 Minimum GPA.
• Rising Juniors, Seniors, and Masters Students.
• Be willing to make a full-time commitment of 40 hours a week for 9 weeks from June 15 to August 14, 2026.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Coursework or experience in AI/ML fundamentals, generative AI, process improvement, or product/project management.
• Familiarity with HR systems (e.g., ATS, HRIS) and common HR processes (recruiting, onboarding, performance, learning, employee relations).
• Experience conducting interviews, surveys, or qualitative analysis; ability to synthesize themes from stakeholder input.
• Basic analytical skills (e.g., building simple Excel models, creating charts, defining KPIs).
• Interest in responsible AI, data privacy, and technology governance.

Learning Opportunities:

• Exposure to HR strategy, HR technology, and cross-functional stakeholder management.
• Hands-on experience building an implementation roadmap and defining pilot success metrics.
• Understanding of how organizations evaluate AI use cases, manage risk, and drive adoption.
