Student Operations ManagerThis isn’t the internship where you fetch coffee or sit in meetings nodding like you understand everything.
This is the one where you actually run things.
At Storage Scholars, students don’t just help, they run campus operations. If you want an internship where you make decisions, lead teams, and own the outcome, this role is for you.
We’re hiring driven college students to lead our 2026 moving and storage operations on campus. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, supported by training and mentorship, and given the freedom to execute.
What Makes This Role Different• You’re not shadowing someone else
• You’re not waiting around to be told what to do
• You’re leading teams and making decisions
When campus gets busy, you’ll take an active role in keeping operations running smoothly. You’ll manage teams, solve problems as they come up, and make decisions that impact real students on your campus.
What You’ll Do• Lead and manage student mover teams
• Own daily operations during move-out and move-in
• Work directly with fellow students as your customers
• Load, unload, organize, and transport student belongings
• Drive moving trucks and coordinate logistics
• Manage inventory through our online system
• Organize orders within our storage facilities
• Coordinate with professional moving partners and regional staff
• Represent Storage Scholars on campus and assist with outreach
• Adapt quickly when plans change and problems arise
Starting in March

Summer
• No requirement to stay on campus
• Option to step away for other jobs or plans
• Optional opportunities to work with Storage Scholars on campus or in your hometown

• $200 training bonus
• $50 intern referral bonus
• $25 customer referral bonus
• Commission-based pay for every item picked up and delivered
• All tips paid directly to managers and movers
This role is a great fit for students who
• Want real responsibility, not just something to put on a resume
• Step up naturally and set the pace for their team
• Communicate clearly and stay calm when things get busy
• Are comfortable in fast-paced, hands-on environments
By the end of the year, you’ll have
• Experience leading real operations while still in college
• Confidence making decisions that actually matter
• Practical team leadership and logistics skills
• A close campus team and friendships that last beyond the job
• A standout story you can clearly explain in interviews

What We Do
Who We Are:
Storage Scholars is a high-growth company that’s undergone 100% year-over-year growth since its inception in 2017. Our goal is to change the way college students across the country move in and out of residence halls with our all-inclusive service. Storage Scholars is young, tenacious, innovative, and core product-focused. We strive to be the premium option among competition by offering the best user experience available which is dependent on continuously improving our technology. We expect passion and buy-in from every team member, no matter the role. We believe everyone, regardless of their position, brings unique knowledge, skills, and perspective that makes us who we are. All voices are not just welcomed but encouraged to be a part of the decisions and direction of the organization. At Storage Scholars, egos are left at the door, wins are celebrated as a team, and learning never stops.
How the Service Works:
Customers sign up on our web portal to schedule service on their respective campus. A week before final examinations, our staff distributes custom-made boxes, tape, and packing supplies to the customer. The student packs their items, uploads a few photos to our portal, selects their desired insurance, locks it in their room, and can leave at will! Thanks to our partnership with the university, our staff comes in once the campus is vacant and moves all of the student belongings into a storage facility for the summer. The best part is, the items will be ready and waiting in the customer’s new housing assignment, whenever they return.
