Revenue Operations Business Operations Intern at Zendesk in Madison, Wisconsin, United States of America

Job description

• We are seeking a creative, engaged, and curious intern to join us this summer and support internal process improvements for scaling the Global Revenue Operations (RevOps) team. This nine-week, full-time position offers flexibility to accommodate class schedules and personal commitments. The position is hybrid so you will have the flexibility to work remotely and have the opportunity to come to the office and meet the team. You will have a dedicated Mentor partnering with you to help you grow and develop during your internship. We are aiming for an early June start date and prefer someone who can commit to 40 hours per week during the summer, with 2-3 days spent working on-site at the Madison Zendesk office.
• As part of our commitment to innovation, we'll leverage AI and automation to enhance product monetization capabilities. This involves using data-driven insights to optimize pricing strategies, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring seamless workflows to maintain auditability across transactions.
• The on-site work will provide valuable opportunities for in-person engagement and collaboration, allowing you to closely interact with team members, participate in brainstorming sessions, and get hands-on experience with projects. This face-to-face interaction is crucial for fostering stronger professional relationships, enhancing communication, and creating a supportive environment for creativity and innovation. We believe that in-person collaboration will significantly contribute to your personal and professional growth, ensuring you gain the most from this internship experience.
• We take pride in our ability to serve our internal and external customers through industry-leading responsiveness. As such, if you take initiative, enjoy having autonomy to move quickly, and are searching for an opportunity where you can learn about complex software transactions, process optimization, establishing best practices and the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry, we’d love to hear from you.
• At Zendesk, diversity, equity and inclusion are more than buzzwords, and bigger than the bottom line. It's about our people knowing that they're valued where they work. Employees at Zendesk work hard to build a culture where everyone belongs. Employee Communities play a vital role in bringing us together and ensure we feel supported at work.
