The Role
College Intern: Operations, Legal & People Ops

Hey there, future intern 👋
This is not a traditional internship.

This role is designed for someone who wants early, meaningful exposure to executive decision-making in a growing fintech. You will work directly with the Co-CEO & General Counsel, with regular interaction with the Chief Operating Officer and People Operations Manager. You’ll see how senior leaders evaluate risk, manage priorities, and keep the company operating day to day.

You’ll be entrusted with real work that matters—reviewing and organizing legal documents, supporting compliance and operational workflows, coordinating leadership schedules, and helping ensure nothing critical slips through the cracks. We’ll teach you how to do the work properly, explain the context behind it, and expect you to apply what you learn quickly.

This role is best suited for someone who wants to build judgment, credibility, and executive-level operating experience early.

This position reports to the Co-CEO & General Counsel.

What You’ll Do

Executive Coordination

  • Track requests, deadlines, and follow-ups to ensure leadership priorities are executed
  • Manage calendars and coordinate meetings for executive leadership using tools like Calendly and Doodle
  • Act as a point of coordination on scheduling and logistics for senior leadership, including due diligence and other enterprise level projects.

People Ops

  • Support employee onboarding, internal documentation, and People Ops initiatives
  • Assist with employee experience and culture-related projects
  • Help maintain People Ops systems, records, and operational discipline

Operations Support

  • Support the COO on operational projects, including customer onboarding and risk-related work
  • Help document, improve, and maintain operational processes across the business
  • Assist with research, process improvements, and operational cleanups
  • Bonus: support light data analysis or reporting to inform operational decisions

Legal

  • Monitor shared Legal and Compliance inboxes; identify what requires immediate attention versus background noise
  • Organize and review legal documents (yes, real ones—and we’ll teach you how to approach them)
Who This Role Is For
  • You want responsibility and proximity to decision-makers, not busywork
  • You’re organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling sensitive information
  • You manage time and priorities well and don’t need constant oversight
  • You’re intellectually curious and want to understand why decisions are made, not just how
  • You communicate clearly and professionally, especially in writing
  • You bring some foundational exposure to legal, operations, HR, or startup environments
What You’ll Gain
  • Direct exposure to executive leadership and how a fintech is actually run
  • Practical experience working with legal documents, compliance workflows, and operational systems
  • A front-row seat to how senior leaders evaluate risk, tradeoffs, and priorities
Skills and judgment that translate well to law, consulting, finance, operations, or startup careers

Info, Benefits & Perks:

  • Location: US remote 
  • Hours: 15-20 hours per week during the school year, with the goal of moving to full time during summer break
  • Compensation: Hourly pay, based on experience
  • Benefits: This role is not benefits-eligible while part-time. If converted to full-time, the position is eligible for medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, and other Company-sponsored benefit programs, as well as participation in the Company’s 401(k) plan.

What We Do

Accounts Payable (and Receivable, too) Made Easy! At Checkbook, we have built a way to send and receive Digital Checks instead of dealing with paper and postage, or expensive online transactions. Digital Checks offer a clear financial and operational advantage for businesses with instant delivery, and online deposit, at a fraction of the cost of other payment options. Just $1 per transaction, regardless of the amount. No more stuffing and stamping. Simply hit ‘Send’ Send digital checks in seconds with our seamless interface at www.checkbook.io. Simply enter the recipient’s name, email, and the amount -that’s it! The recipient will receive an email of their check that they can instantly deposit, or print if they choose. Have multiple recipients? Upload a CSV file and send mass checks easily. We’re also integrated with Quickbooks! Download the app at the Intuit Marketplace. Easy Onboarding The convenience of Checkbook is that recipients do not need a Checkbook account, just an email address. We take care of the rest with instant bank account verification for on-the-spot deposit -or they can print a paper check, if that’s their preference. Live Check Tracking No more “I never received a check.” With Checkbook’s integrated accounting dashboard, you can follow every digital check through every point of the process, from delivery and deposit to posting. The Bottomline Checkbook’s Digital Check technology is an end-to-end, simplified payments solution that combines both cost-savings and convenience. Get rid of check clutter and go digital today!
