AI & Automation Strategy Internship

About Obligo

Obligo supports and builds trust between landlords and renters by developing financial technology to support the lifecycle of the landlord-tenant relationship. Property owners and managers use Obligo to streamline their operations, more easily comply with changing regulations, and make their listings more appealing to renters.

Role Summary

As an AI & Automation Intern, you’ll work to improve the accuracy and speed with which Obligo delivers customer support. You’ll work cross-functionally with Product, R&D, Data, and Customer Operations teams to scope and propose project plans focusing on: optimizing our current AI tools, automating quality assurance processes, and expanding our AI capabilities to new user groups and communication channels. Your work will directly enhance support efficiency and help scale our service operations to meet the needs of a growing customer base. 

Over the course of the internship, you’ll spend the first few weeks ramping up and getting to know Obligo’s products and systems, followed by hands-on design and testing of your proposed solutions. As the program wraps up, you’ll finalize your projects, present your findings, and ensure a smooth transition of ownership to the full-time team.

We’re looking for someone curious, resourceful, and excited to take ownership. You don’t need to be an AI expert—but you should be eager to learn, experiment, and improve real systems that impact thousands of users.

Responsibilities

  • Quickly familiarize yourself with Obligo's product suite and the range of tools and platforms used by the support team.

  • Analyze customer conversations and internal processes to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for automation.

  • Design and implement improvements to AI tools and workflows to improve the efficiency and accuracy of customer support.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve customer classification and data availability in Intercom.

  • Quantify the potential impact of new initiatives and create actionable project plans to submit to leadership.

  • Own the documentation and knowledge transfer of any solutions you build, ensuring they can be maintained and scaled by the full-time team.
  • Present your findings, recommendations, and progress updates to leadership in a clear, compelling way.

Requirements and Skills

  • Currently pursuing a full-time MBA or graduate degree in Business, Data Science, Computer Science, Psychology, or a related field.

  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills with a passion for improving systems and user experiences.

  • Comfortable with ambiguity and skilled at using data to drive strategy and prioritize effectively.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills—able to surface insights, build compelling narratives, and communicate cross-functionally.

  • Experience working with product and engineering teams, and translating business needs into actionable solutions.

  • Comfortable using AI tools, BI platforms, or logic-based systems (e.g., workflows, tagging logic, lightweight scripts).

  • Self-motivated and proactive, with strong time management across multiple priorities.

  • Able to appropriately handle confidential and sensitive information, including proprietary systems and data.

  • Ability to work in our NYC office at least two days per week.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
