Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As a Technology Risk & AI Operations Intern, you will support Branch's third-party risk management and procurement program - the function responsible for making sure the vendors Branch works with handle our data securely and that purchasing runs through a clear, well-governed process.
• This internship is designed to provide meaningful, hands-on experience in IT risk management, vendor security assessment, procurement operations, and using AI to supplement and enhance everyday work.
• You will own day-to-day vendor risk work, communicate directly with vendors, and help rebuild Branch's procurement workflow during a system migration project.
• You will use AI tools as a core part of how the work gets done and help document and improve those AI-assisted processes along the way.
• This is an ideal opportunity for a student with a business or technology background who is interested in both IT risk management and tech/AI enablement, and who wants practical experience that translates into GRC, security, operations, or technology roles.
• The role is paid at $25/hour, with a flexible schedule of up to 29 hours/week through fall, and is open to part-time or full-time continuation in the winter for the right candidate.

🎯 Requirements

• Current undergraduate or graduate student, or recent graduate, with a business, information systems, or technology background
• Interest in IT risk management, cybersecurity/compliance, and tech/AI enablement
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; comfortable managing repeatable tasks alongside longer-term projects
• Strong written and verbal communication skills - much of this role is vendor-facing
• Ability to handle sensitive or confidential information with professionalism and discretion
• Comfortable working in spreadsheets, documents, and technology platforms, with a willingness to learn new systems quickly
• Curiosity about AI tools and how to apply them to real work is a strong plus
• Previous exposure to GRC, audit, procurement, internships, or automation projects is a plus, but not required.

🏖️ Benefits

• Above-market salary - Branch is a data-driven company, so we do the math on salaries, too. If you get an offer from Branch, you can expect compensation that hits above the mark.
• Pay equity and transparency - Our pay isn’t just market-driven, it’s equitable. We let experience and performance drive your success, never your gender, race, orientation, or beliefs.
• Remote-first (with perks) - Work from where you’re most comfortable. We’ll take care of your work from home set-up and monthly internet. We also have a Columbus headquarters if you’d like to join us in an office.
• Flexible YouTime - We don’t just let you control your own time off. We actually encourage you to use it. After your first year at Branch, we’ll give you $1000 toward your next vacation.
• Employee stock options - You’re not just an employee. If you’re full-time, you’re also a part-owner. You’ll have stock options so you can invest in the company you’re helping to grow.
• Medical, vision, dental - Get all the coverage you need for a healthy, happy life.
• 401k and contribution matching - Invest in your future. Branch helps you get to retirement on time with a portion of your contributions matched each month.
