Year-round internship with rolling start dates: full-time in summer, part-time (15–20 hrs/week) during the academic year. Minimum 3-month commitment

• Market sizing & planning: connect the external market with internal plans. Size opportunities top-down for new segments, including enterprise, studios and agencies, new verticals and international expansion. Build bottom-up operating plans, scenarios and KPI targets that tie those opportunities to our annual and quarterly goals.

• Competitive intelligence: track pricing, product launches, funding and model partnerships across the creative AI landscape. Gather insights through public research and expert calls with creative professionals, agencies, model providers, operators and investors, then turn what you learn into clear judgments the team can align on.

• Partnership deal support: provide strategic support to the Partnerships team on major deals, such as content co-production with media platforms and co-sell programs with AI labs.

• Currently pursuing or recently completed an MBA. For strong candidates, we don't limit by major. We welcome candidates at any stage, including those on a gap year or in other situations.

• Pre-MBA experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, venture capital or growth equity is preferred, along with the core toolkit that comes with it: strong financial and market modeling from imperfect data, structuring expert or customer interviews into crisp insights, and executive-ready communication in slides and memos.

• You've built AI into how you work (e.g., agent-driven research or automated modeling workflows).

• Deep understanding of the AI business landscape: how models are built, priced and distributed, where value accrues across the stack, and what that means for application companies like OpenArt.
  

• Bay Area required (hybrid allowed)

• Visa sponsorship available

The expected base salary range for this role is $40 to $50 per hour, plus the same in-office benefits as our full-time employees.
