About the Internship

Owlera is an early-stage startup, and we're looking for a detail-oriented Operations Intern to help us keep the engine running. You'll work directly with the founding team on the processes behind the product — streamlining workflows, organizing data, coordinating across functions, and fixing whatever is broken. This is a hands-on, remote, 6-week unpaid internship for someone who wants to learn how startups actually operate, not just study operations theory.

Responsibilities

• Map current workflows and identify bottlenecks, delays, and manual steps

• Propose and document improved, repeatable processes

• Build and maintain simple SOPs (standard operating procedures) for key tasks

• Organize and clean up shared data, spreadsheets, and internal records

• Track project tasks and follow up with owners to keep things moving

• Help coordinate between product, marketing, and sales workstreams

• Research tools and vendors for operations needs (with cost comparisons)

• Set up lightweight dashboards to track team output and key metrics

• Run weekly ops check-ins and document action items and decisions

• Test new tools and processes in small pilots before full rollout

• Assist with scheduling, resource planning, and deadline management

• Document recurring problems and propose systemic fixes

• Support onboarding of new interns and contributors (checklists, access, docs)

• Help prepare investor-ready operational reports and summaries

• Track costs and find practical ways to reduce waste

• Manage the team's digital workspace (folders, docs, permissions, naming)

• Draft internal communications and team announcements

• Collect team feedback on processes and iterate on improvements

Requirements

• Strong organizational skills and genuine attention to detail

• Analytical thinker — comfortable with spreadsheets, data, and structured problem-solving

• Clear written communication in English (you'll write a lot of documentation)

• Proactive self-starter who spots problems and fixes them without being asked

• Comfortable juggling many small tasks and reprioritizing quickly

• Reliable and accountable in a remote, asynchronous setting

• Curious about how startups and businesses actually run day to day

• Quick learner — picks up new tools and workflows fast

• Available 10–15 hours per week for 6 weeks

• Bonus: experience with Notion, Trello, Google Sheets/Excel, or any process or project tools

What You'll Gain

• Real, hands-on experience running operations at an early-stage startup

• Direct mentorship from the founding team on startup operations

• A first-hand look at how small teams scale without breaking

• Practical process-mapping and workflow-optimization skills

• Experience writing SOPs and operational documentation

• Data organization and basic analytics skills

• Proficiency with modern ops and project-management tools

• Cross-functional coordination and stakeholder-management experience

• Exposure to budgeting, cost tracking, and resource planning

• Certificate of completion at the end of the internship

• Letter of recommendation for strong performers

• LinkedIn recommendation for strong performers

• Networking with startup founders and operators

• Potential path to a paid role or extended engagement

• A flexible remote schedule that fits around your studies
