Business Operations & AI Innovation Associate

Help us make work simpler, faster, and more effective.

Red Carrot is a strategic communications, marketing, creative, and professional services company. We’re looking for a curious recent graduate who wants to understand how a business works, solve operational problems, and turn AI ideas into useful tools and better processes.

You’ll work with leadership and colleagues to identify inefficiencies, research solutions, and put improvements into practice. You should be comfortable taking initiative, learning unfamiliar tools, and moving a project forward independently while knowing when to ask questions.

• Examine how teams work, identify repetitive tasks and bottlenecks, and recommend practical improvements.

• Use AI for research, analysis, organizing information, and developing solutions to business problems.

• Build and test automations, simple tools, trackers, and workflows that reduce manual work and improve accuracy.

• Take improvement projects from problem definition through implementation, documentation, and follow-up.

• Talk with colleagues to understand their needs and help them adopt useful tools and processes.

• Measure whether changes save time, reduce errors, or make work easier.

• Check AI outputs for accuracy and use approved tools with appropriate care for confidential information.

• A completed bachelor’s degree in business or industrial engineering.

• Curiosity about how things work and persistence in figuring out how to improve them.

• Practical experience using AI beyond basic questions—including research, analysis, and building an automation or simple tool.

• The ability to organize your work, follow through, and communicate progress and obstacles clearly.

• Comfort working with spreadsheets, data, and unfamiliar software.

• Sound judgment about when to proceed independently and when to seek input.

School projects, internships, personal projects, and work experience can all demonstrate these abilities. Prior experience is required.

• Understand key team workflows and identify specific opportunities for improvement.

• Prioritize opportunities with leadership based on their value and feasibility.

• Implement at least one useful process improvement, automation, or simple tool.

• Document how it works, help colleagues use it, and evaluate its results.

Please share an example of a problem you solved or a process you improved using AI, automation, or data. Explain the problem, what you built or changed, how you checked your work, and what you learned. Academic and personal projects are welcome.
