Position: MBA Summer Intern - AI-First Transformation & Value Creation (NYC and Armonk)
Introduction

About the Team

IBM's AI-First Transformation organization is redefining how a global enterprise operates in an agentic AI era-designing the workflows, operating models, and technology foundations that power the next generation of IBM.

We are the group responsible for architecting IBM's enterprise-wide transformation agenda, scaling AI solutions, and reimagining how work gets done across thousands of processes. Our mandate is to help IBM become the world's benchmark AI-first enterprise.

To date, the organization has delivered $4.5B in productivity gains, making IBM a standout performer in the MIT GenAI Divide study, where 95% of enterprises fail to move beyond pilots. IBM is the rare organization successfully scaling AI at material enterprise levels-and this team is at the center of that shift.

This internship sits inside one of IBM's most strategic transformation engines.
