Intern, Gateway Operations Group

The job responsibilities outlined in this document are not exhaustive and may evolve over time and be reviewed according to business needs.

The Gateway Operations Group (GOG) Intern provides operational support to the Gateway Operations team by assisting with defined operational workflows, data analysis, structured data entry, and quality assurance activities. This role is intentionally non‑operational and is designed to reduce administrative and analytical overhead for Gateway Operations Agents while improving data quality, process consistency, and operational readiness.

The intern works under close supervision in a mission‑critical, global environment and contributes through accuracy, consistency, and adherence to established procedures rather than independent operational decision‑making.

This position is U.S.‑based only to enable effective real‑time and in‑person training, mentoring, and guidance. The role also serves as a talent pipeline for future Gateway Operations or related operational roles, subject to performance, business need, and available opportunities.

The role directly supports SES Mission 30 objectives by strengthening operational discipline, improving data integrity, and enabling Gateway Operations teams to focus on service reliability and zero‑outage outcomes.

Support defined operational workflows such as checklist execution, workflow tracking, task follow‑ups, and coordination activities under the guidance of Gateway Operations staff.

Perform structured data entry, validation, and maintenance activities in operational systems, logs, trackers, and reporting tools to ensure information is accurate, complete, and current.

Assist with reviewing operational data to identify trends, anomalies, or gaps, and prepare summaries or visual outputs to support reporting, reviews, and continuous improvement efforts.

Perform QA/QC checks on operational records, reports, dashboards, and documentation to validate accuracy, consistency, and adherence to established procedures and standards.

Support updates to SOPs, templates, and internal documentation by correcting errors, incorporating feedback, and improving clarity, usability, and consistency.

This role operates strictly within established procedures. The intern does not perform independent monitoring, customer communications, technical troubleshooting, change implementation, or escalation activities.
