Job description

AI Automation Intern
Founding AI Team Reporting Directly to Partner
If you want to move fast, ship real things, and have outsized impact at a leading PE firm-keep reading.
Position Summary:
K1 is seeking an AI Automation Intern to join our founding AI team in Manhattan Beach, CA. This is not a typical internship. You will be one of three founding members of K1's internal AI function, reporting directly to a Founding Partner with no middle management, no busywork, and real ownership from day one. You will work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, enterprise software, and private equity operations - shipping real automations, building real tools, and driving real impact across a portfolio of 275+ companies. Top performers will convert to full-time roles with a mandate to build and lead their own team. The right candidate will embody the values of K1 - Passion, Persistence, Humility, and Excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Designing, building, and deploying AI-powered automations using Claude, Microsoft 365 (Power Automate, Copilot, SharePoint), and custom integrations to eliminate manual processes across the firm and portfolio companies;
  • Rapidly prototyping AI tools and agents - from competitive intelligence scrapers to board-report generators - and iterating quickly based on real user feedback;
  • Evaluating emerging AI models, tools, and frameworks and synthesizing findings into actionable recommendations for the investment team;
  • Building internal dashboards, data pipelines, and agentic workflows that give K1's investment professionals an unfair advantage;
  • Performing other duties as assigned.

Requirements:
  • Open to May 2026 graduates (including out-of-state candidates willing to relocate) and 2027-2028 graduates based in the Los Angeles area.
  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Business + CS, or a related field;
  • At least one prior internship or substantive project experience in AI/ML, software engineering, or data science;
  • Proficiency with Claude (Anthropic) as a daily working tool - prompt engineering, multi-step workflows, and integration into real tasks;
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 (Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Teams); familiarity with Power Automate or Copilot Studio is a plus;
  • Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript - you don't need to be a systems engineer, but you need to be able to ship working code;
  • Bias toward action, comfort with ambiguity, and a genuine obsession with where AI is headed;
  • Ability to work in-office in Manhattan Beach 2-3 days per week.

Perks:
  • Direct access to a Founding Partner - no layers, no bureaucracy
  • Full-time conversion opportunity with an accelerated path to building your own team
  • Portfolio-wide exposure across 275+ enterprise software companies
  • Flexible scheduling around your class schedule
  • Competitive hourly compensation
