Who We Are

Verkada is a leader in cloud-based B2B physical security. Verkada offers six product lines — video security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms, workplace and intercoms — integrated with a single cloud-based software platform.

 

Designed with simplicity and scalability in mind, Verkada gives organizations the real-time insight to know what could impact the safety and comfort of people throughout their physical environment, while empowering them to take immediate action to minimize security risks, workplace frustrations and costly inefficiencies.

 

Founded in 2016 with more than $460M in funding raised to date, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 15 offices across three continents, 2,100+ full-time employees and 28,000+ customers across 70+ countries.

Overview

As a member of our Hardware Operations team, you will have an integral role in driving projects that help build a world class supply chain that is responsive, customer focused and manages our cash.  You will be joining our team as a high impact contributor focused on improving the operational efficiency of our Fulfilment team and will help steer the project ideation, recommendations and execution during your internship.

Responsibilities

  • Strategy & planning: Scope and execute an analytical special project with our Fulfilment team that helps us better understand our business and what drives operational efficiency. Apply these learnings to drive business decisions and operational changes. Partner with leadership to develop and operationalize strategic initiatives.
  • Systems and operations: identifying and implementing improvements in current workflows and processes that can help improve efficiency and visibility - this might be in Netsuite, Front, Salesforce or other tools. 
  • You’ll be working in many systems and Google Sheets / Excel on a daily basis, while also talking frequently with our stakeholders in sales, marketing, ops, product, finance, and more to help troubleshoot systems issues, review insights from our analyses, and build future-state processes and systems.

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a full-time MBA program graduating in 2026.
  • Ability to work at Verkada HQ (San Mateo, CA) for Summer 2025.
  • High-impact self-starter: you take initiative to move projects forward and can operate well with little guidance. You’re excited by the possibility of leading cross-functional workstreams and generating buy-in among senior leadership. 
  • Raw smarts: we are looking for people who can look at complex problems and solve them start to finish. Strong analytical skills: you nerd out about data, can quickly structure analyses to answer key business questions to drive decision-making, and will also have perspectives on building the right data architecture. Excel skills are a must; SQL / Tableau / Looker experience a plus.
  • Process and operational thinking: you can tackle a problem independently and quickly iterate to a solution, and then also document it in a way that's easy to understand for all audiences. Previous Salesforce experience is a plus.
  • Communication and stakeholder management: you'll need to be able to connect with sales reps and hardware engineers alike to figure out how we build the right processes and workflows to drive efficiency while also giving us the data to measure how we're doing. Strong written and verbal communication skills are a must.
  • Flexibility and hustle: you manage change and ambiguity well, and have no problems juggling multiple priorities while executing in a fast-paced environment. You’re comfortable pivoting quickly and often.
  • 3+ years of professional experience with a passion for Supply Chain and Operations
