BigCommerce, named a 2023 "Best Place to Work" in Austin, is recruiting Summer 2023 Operations interns for an eight week, remote program. As part of this program, you will be integrated into one of our world class operating teams for hands-on experience helping create sustainability and scale through operational excellence. Your mentor will collaborate with you to create change for the organization through a specific internship project which will culminate in a recommended implementation plan to the Chief Operating Officer. 

You will build skills in operational/revenue analysis, process design, and go-to-market strategy development. You will use executive communication and leadership skills to deliver recommendations on opportunities and risks. 

What You’ll Do

• Partner closely with senior members of the Operations team to understand key challenges and business opportunities.
• Develop, deliver, and communicate data insights and provide recommendations in a clear and concise manner.
• Assist in the team’s mission to enhance Operations learning & development by distilling your learnings into scalable documentation for future hires and interns.
• Assist in developing financial and/or process models for our most important business initiatives, with an eye for repeatability and scalability.
• Deliver a recommendation presentation to the Chief Operating Officer at the conclusion of your internship, including clear next steps for implementation to ensure lasting change.
• Execute an end-to-end strategic analysis as part of your assigned project, including: 

1. Craft your analysis: Decide “where to start” when analyzing a large dataset. Anchor analysis to a single hypothesis / objective and determine which variables to assess that will answer your hypothesis. 
2. Assess the drivers: Dig into subsequent cuts of data to understand what is driving the outcomes. Learning what to do when you are in “analysis paralysis” and how to regroup. 
3. Tell the story: Learn how to synthesize and cull the most meaningful takeaways from your data. Determine “how to tell the story” to an executive audience. Learn presentation best practices and how to build compelling visuals/charts to bolster the story. 
4. Make an impact: Outline operational next steps (eg, implementation plan) as the “so what” of the analysis with recommendations for improvement.
