- Move into a permanent role at SOE or one of our portfolio companies, with more context on the business than anyone else at your level.
- Move into your next role elsewhere (whether corporate strategy, ops, business school, or a startup you want to build yourself) with a concrete, well-rounded operating skill set and real, results oriented work to point to.
- Finance & Modeling: Build and maintain financial models, support budgeting and forecasting, help prepare board and investor materials, get exposure to how a portfolio of companies at different stages actually manages cash and runway.
- People Ops & Recruiting: Develop, improve, and implement first principles based policies and programs, facilitate the recruiting pipeline for key roles end to end (sourcing, screening, interview coordination), and support employee programing from onboarding to offboarding.
- Business Development & Client Success: Interface directly with clients ranging from high profile fortune 500's to solo startup operators. Develop proficiency in pipeline management, proposal development, account relationships, and program success, all while developing your own network and understanding of engineering development.
- Product & Marketing: Work on positioning, content, and go-to-market execution for SOE and portfolio companies. Get exposure to how a technical consulting firm and its spinouts communicate value to very different audiences. Learn to measure market response and pivot rapidly to deliver results.
- Biz Ops & Supply Chain: Get into the operational mechanics that keep hardware-adjacent projects moving (vendor management, logistics, and procurement) and the operational problem-solving that doesn't show up in a pitch deck but determines whether things actually ship.
- Legal, Contracting & Compliance: Support contract review and triage, NDA processing, IP documentation and protection, entity and compliance housekeeping across SOE and its portfolio companies, and get early exposure to how a company protects itself as it scales.
- Custom: Let us know what you want to learn, and we'll do our best to scope work that allows you to develop proficiency in that function.
- Bachelor's Degree (Business, Psychology, Economics, Computer Science, Physics, Math, or related field) or equivalent experience
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver under ambiguity (coursework, prior internships, campus leadership, or work experience all count)
- Proficiency with core productivity tools (Excel/Sheets, Word/Docs, presentation software) at a level sufficient to produce professional deliverables without heavy oversight
