Relay is the Intelligent System of Action for the physical economy. While the digital revolution has often left the deskless workforce behind, we are closing that gap by transforming analog frontline operations into a data-rich, AI-powered ecosystem. We aren't just selling radios, we’re building the digital foundation for the 80% of the global workforce that doesn't work at a desk.
What makes our Sumer Intern program different:
- Executive and senior leadership team exposure - regular touchpoints with Relay's leadership team, including Q&A coffee chats, Breakfast with the CEO, and working sessions.
- Cross-functional cohort - work alongside interns across every part of the business, not just your team.
- Structured learning - regular skill-building sessions covering topics from product strategy to financial modeling to sales craft to professional networking and interviewing skills.
- Real ownership - you'll own a project from kickoff to final presentation, with mentors and fellow Relayers who are invested in your success.
- Intern showcase - present your work to the full company at the end of the summer
- Raleigh HQ experience - team lunches, volunteer Intern Impact day, social events, and a chance to see how a scaling tech company operates up close! Work from our amenity-rich Raleigh campus (fitness center, sports courts) with a team dedicated to "Best Work In My Life" (BWIML).
If you're passionate about technology, driven to make a difference and align your work to a bigger mission, and excited to join a company that's shaping the future of frontline work, we encourage you to explore opportunities at Relay!

What We Do
Software powers the workforce...except for 55 million members who aren’t given access to a communication tool or rely on a walkie-talkie. With expense, the active nature of their jobs and guest interaction rendering a smartphone impractical, this subset of the workforce is often completely disconnected - not only from one another, but from critical information that could improve their efficiency and positively impact the bottom line of the companies that employ them.
