Now is the time to bring your expertise to Insight. We are not just a tech company; we are a people-first company. We believe that by unlocking the power of people and technology, we can accelerate transformation and achieve extraordinary results. As a Fortune 500 Solutions Integrator with deep expertise in cloud, data, AI, cybersecurity, and intelligent edge, we guide organizations through complex digital decisions.

About the role

Insight's Finance organization is transforming toward AI-enabled, insight-driven operations, and the AI Operations team ("Thundercats") leads that work. As our Finance AI & Automation Intern, you help Finance teammates find manual, repetitive, or error-prone work and replace it with Microsoft Copilot-assisted workflows, low-code automations, and analytics that hold up to audit.

This is a build-and-ship internship. Over ten weeks you move from shadowing Finance teams and mapping their processes, to designing and building a solution, to deploying it as a true production tool that keeps delivering value after you leave. You are also a live case study: the Friction Log and Decision Log you keep all summer shape how Insight defines the AI-augmented Finance teammate of the future.

What you’ll do:

• Analyze Finance processes to identify manual effort, rework, or bottlenecks suitable for AI or automation support.
• Design and build scoped solutions (Microsoft Copilot-assisted workflows, low-code automations, analytics templates) under the guidance of assigned business and AI/automation mentors.
• Document processes and solutions with clear inputs, outputs, validation steps, and ownership so they are auditable and sustainable.
• Measure impact: time savings, quality improvements, throughput, and adoption.
• Partner with Finance teammates to gather requirements, test solutions, and incorporate feedback.
• Keep two running artifacts from day one: a Friction Log (every point where work was manual, repetitive, or where AI failed or needed verification) and a Decision Log (every point that required human judgment the AI could not supply).
• Present your work through demos, written summaries, and a final capstone readout to Finance leadership and AI Operations stakeholders.

What we’re looking for:

• Rising senior (must have a graduation date of May 2028) pursuing a degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Analytics, MIS, Industrial Engineering, Economics, or a related field.
• Strong foundational Excel skills and comfort working with data.
• Analytical thinking and attention to detail.
• Ability to clearly document work and communicate findings.
• Interest in AI, automation, or process improvement in Finance.

Be AmbITious:

This opportunity is not just about what you do today but also about where you can go tomorrow. When you bring your hunger, heart, and harmony to Insight, your potential will be met with continuous opportunities to upskill, earn promotions, and elevate your career.

But what really sets us apart are our core values of Hunger, Heart, and Harmony, which guide everything we do, from building relationships with teammates, partners, and clients to making a positive impact in our communities.
