Job Overview
As an intern supporting the Journey Delivery Team, you will work alongside delivery leaders, project managers, and consultants who help higher education institutions implement continuing education solutions that directly impact student success. You will be exposed to how projects are planned, tracked, communicated, and governed across
multiple institutions and teams.
You will be given the tools, coaching, and context needed to contribute to meaningful work — not just observe it. Our goal is for you to leave the program with hands-on experience in delivery operations, documentation governance, and cross-team collaboration in a SaaS implementation environment.
This is a high-impact role where your contributions will help ensure delivery processes are organized, consistent, and scalable across multiple projects and customers.

- Assist the Journey Delivery Team with day-to-day project coordination and
operational support. - Help maintain and update project tracking within Smartsheet to ensure accurate
status visibility. - Support communication across project managers, consultants, and leadership to
keep projects aligned. - Establish, document, and maintain best practices and governance standards to
ensure consistency across delivery teams. - Review project artifacts for completeness, clarity, and adherence to standards.
- Assist with preparing internal and customer-facing communications and meeting
materials. - Work across multiple projects simultaneously while managing competing
priorities. - Identify opportunities to streamline delivery processes and improve team
efficiency. - Help organize documentation libraries and ensure teams can easily locate the
information they need. - Participate in internal team meetings to understand project lifecycle phases and
implementation workflows. - Assist with reporting and metrics tracking related to delivery performance
What you will bring
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Familiarity with Smartsheet (or willingness to learn quickly).
- Ability to stay organized while working on multiple projects at once.
- Attention to detail and ability to follow defined processes.
- Interest in project delivery, consulting, operations, or SaaS implementation
environments. - Ability to collaborate with different personalities and roles across teams.
- Proactive mindset and willingness to ask questions and take initiative.
- Comfort learning new systems, tools, and workflows.
- Ability to document information clearly and consistently.
- Strong time-management skills in a deadline-driven environment.
- The student must be able to work full-time during the internship period.
