ABOUT BESTOW
Life insurance is one of the world's most important products. It's also one of the hardest to build, distribute, and modernize. Bestow exists to change that.
Bestow is a leading vertical technology platform serving some of the largest and most innovative life insurers. Our platform unifies the fragmented, legacy value chain, enabling carriers to launch products in weeks instead of years. Carriers choose us to scale and operate at unprecedented speed, powered by AI and automation.
Bestow isn't selling policies. We're building the infrastructure that helps an entire industry move faster, reach more people, and deliver on its promise.
Backed by leading investors (Goldman Sachs, Hedosophia, NEA, Valar, 8VC) and trusted by major carriers, Bestow is powered by a team that moves with precision, purpose, and heart. If you want to help reimagine a centuries-old industry with lasting impact, join us.
Bestow offers flexible remote/hybrid work, meaningful benefits, equity, and substantial growth opportunities.
Bestow uses E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees. To learn more about E-Verify, including your rights and responsibilities, please visit E-Verify.gov.
ABOUT THE TEAM
BizOps at Bestow runs the cross-functional initiatives that don't fit neatly on one team's plate, and we lead how the non-engineering side of the company adopts AI in its everyday work. Bestow is enterprise SaaS technology for life insurance carriers. We modernize everything from underwriting to policy administration for partners like Nationwide, Transamerica, and USAA, and BizOps makes sure the company runs as efficiently as the platform we sell.
This internship reports directly to the BizOps Lead and puts you in the room for real strategic work. You'll own pieces of the AI transformation program, build the materials that go in front of executives, and coordinate work across departments.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Build the AI context layer: Help construct and maintain the knowledge base that powers Bestow's internal AI tools, structuring information so agents and teammates can actually find and use it
Own knowledge management: Organize how BizOps captures decisions, docs, and processes so nothing lives only in someone's head.
Build executive-ready materials: Produce pitch decks and financial models that go in front of department heads and the leadership team
Train people on AI skills: Run enablement sessions and build guides that raise the whole company's AI fluency, not just recommend tools, but teach people to use them well
Coordinate cross-department initiatives: Track work across teams, keep initiatives moving, and flag blockers before they become fire drills
Measure what matters: Help define and track whether our AI initiatives are actually driving adoption and results
WHO YOU ARE
Currently pursuing an undergraduate degree: ideally targeting private equity, investment banking, consulting, or a strategy/operations career
Genuinely excited about AI: you already use AI tools in your own work and want to go deeper on how they change how businesses operate
Comfortable with numbers. You can build a financial model and turn analysis into a clear recommendation
A strong communicator: You write clearly, build clean decks, and can explain a complex idea to someone who wasn't in the room
Self-directed: You take an ambiguous problem, break it down, and drive it forward without waiting to be told each step
Organized and reliable: You keep multiple workstreams straight and follow through
WHY THIS ROLE
You'll learn AI transformation by actually doing it (e.g. real budget, real stakeholders, real outcomes) while getting mentorship from a team of ex-MBB consultants. For students early in their career, you’ll be gaining valuable and tangible “real world” experience that's hard to get anywhere else.
TOTAL REWARDS
At Bestow, we’re proud to be awarded for our team members, innovative products, and culture. Our standard benefits include:
Competitive salary and equity based on role
Policies and managers that support work/life balance, like our flexible paid time off and parental leave programs
100% paid-premium option for medical, dental, and vision insurance
Lifestyle stipend to support your physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing
Flexible work-from-home policy and open to remote
Remote and WFH options, as well as a beautiful, state-of-the-art office in Dallas’ Deep Ellum, for those who prefer an office setting
Employee-led diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
Recent Employer Awards include:
Best Place for Working Parents 2023 + 2024 + 2025
Great Place to Work Certified, 2022 + 2023 + 2024 + 2025
Built In Best Places to Work, 2022 + 2023 + 2025
Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Texas 2022 + 2023
Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Financial Services and Insurance 2022 + 2023 + 2024
We value diversity at Bestow.

We understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable work environment and encourage individualism and authenticity in every team member.

Tips for Your Business Operations Internship Search
Apply earlier than you think necessary
Large employers close summer intern applications in the fall, months before the start date. Smaller companies and co-op programs post closer to their start dates, so roles appear year-round. Checking listings regularly and applying as soon as a role opens puts you ahead of candidates who wait for spring.
Build your portfolio before you apply
Hiring teams for business operations internships expect limited work history, so documented projects carry more weight than a long resume. Put together two or three complete examples, a process-improvement analysis, an operations case study, or a data-driven recommendation, and link to them wherever the application allows.
Work your campus network and apply directly at the same time
Campus career fairs surface structured programs tied to your university, and career center staff often know which employers recruit from your school before roles post publicly. Applying directly to companies running smaller cohorts alongside campus activity widens the pool you reach and catches openings that never come through campus channels.
Practice the actual intern screen out loud
Business operations intern interviews often involve a case conversation, a process-design scenario, or an analytical exercise. Practice your answers out loud and walk through your reasoning as you go, interviewers weigh how you think through a problem as much as the conclusion you reach. One or two practice runs with a peer before you apply makes a measurable difference.
Target structured rotational and cohort programs first
Larger employers run rotational or cohort-based internship programs built to train people new to business operations, and they recruit early. Identify the programs that match your background, track their application windows, and apply in the first wave, these programs fill fast and rarely reopen once the cohort is set.
Set your work-type filter before you start searching
On-site roles are 56% of the business operations internships listed here. Decide what you can realistically commit to, on-site, hybrid, or remote, before you start sorting through listings. Filtering by location and work type up front on Migrate Mate means you spend your time on roles you can actually accept.
Business Operations Internships: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a business operations internship?
Lead with coursework, personal projects, and a portfolio rather than work history, hiring teams expect limited experience at the intern level. For business operations candidates, a documented process-improvement project, analysis, or case study gives recruiters something concrete to assess. Apply directly to companies running smaller cohorts and attend campus career fairs, where recruiters often move faster for students they meet in person.
Can a business operations internship turn into a full-time job?
Many employers extend return offers to strong interns, but conversion is never guaranteed. What drives it in business operations is consistent performance on real work, whether the team has open headcount, and how early you signal interest in returning. Position for a return offer by delivering on your project scope and building relationships, without counting on the outcome.
When should I apply for business operations internships?
Earlier than most candidates expect. Large employers recruit summer interns the preceding fall, often closing applications months before the start date. Smaller companies and co-op programs post closer to the actual start, so openings appear year-round. Checking regularly and applying as soon as a role is posted puts you ahead of candidates who wait.
Are business operations internships paid?
Most professional business operations internships in the U.S. are paid. Compensation varies by company size, industry, and location, and listings show the range where the employer chooses to disclose it. Unpaid internships do exist, particularly at nonprofits or early-stage startups, so check the listing details before applying.
What should a business operations internship resume include?
Lead with two or three complete, documented projects rather than work history, name the tools used and link to the work where possible, such as a process-flow document, a data analysis, or a case study writeup. Add relevant coursework, any relevant part-time or volunteer experience, and keep the resume to one page. Recruiters at the intern level want to see what you can do, not how long you have been doing it.
Are there remote business operations internships?
Yes. Remote and hybrid roles make up 44% of the business operations internship listings here, with the rest on-site. Remote cohorts fill fast because they open the role to candidates nationwide, so apply early and filter by work type to see them before they close.
What is a rotational operations internship program?
Rotational internship programs place interns across two or more business operations functions, such as supply chain, finance operations, and process improvement, over a single summer or semester. They are designed for people new to the field and recruit early in the cycle, often the fall before a summer start. These programs are competitive and fill in the first application wave, so identify the ones that fit your background and apply as soon as they open.
Can international students get business operations internships?
Yes. F-1 students can intern through CPT while enrolled or through OPT work authorization after finishing a degree, and the employer does not have to file anything for either, so many companies are open to international interns. Confirm your eligibility and timing with your university's international student office before accepting an offer.
