We’re hiring a high-performing intern based in London to support AI adoption and impact across our internal team and portfolio companies. This is a hands‑on operator/builder role: you’ll work directly with Investment and Portfolio Operations teams to understand workflows and build practical AI solutions that improve speed, quality, and decision‑making. As Providence expands its use of enterprise AI, you’ll help translate business needs into scalable technical solutions using tools like ChatGPT/Claude, coding copilots, automations, agents, and integrations.

You will engage Providence’s technology team as a partner in solution delivery and independently drive execution, ensuring clear communication and alignment throughout collaboration. This is not a research or strategy role. Success means shipping usable workflows, driving adoption, and delivering measurable impact.

• AI Development & Enablement
  • Build and maintain a curated library of prompts, custom GPTs, agents, and repeatable automations for internal use.

This job description is not exhaustive and may not encompass all aspects of the role, as the needs of the business are continually evolving. Flexibility and adaptability are essential for success in this dynamic position.
