Overview
At the Bertelsmann Education Group we are looking for individuals who are intellectually curious, driven, and looking to make an impact in the EdTech space. As an intern you will obtain hands-on experience at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and business operations in the education sector.
The AI Strategy and Business Operations Internship offers practical experience tailored for students or recent graduates from two backgrounds. If you’re studying business and are curious about technology and artificial intelligence, you’ll gain real-world experience in these areas. Conversely, if you’re from a computer science background and wish to better understand how business operations function, this internship will provide you the chance to immerse yourself in this world. As an intern, you’ll be directly involved in projects that explore AI and machine learning solutions for business challenges, contribute to developing business strategy, and help inform decisions that influence the direction of our portfolio companies.
You will report directly to the Bertelsmann Education Group’s VP of Product & Data and work closely with other data scientists, software engineers, as well as business stakeholders. Your work has a direct impact on making our companies’ students more successful.
