Role
Who you are
- You're AI-native. Claude, ChatGPT, and / or other AI tools are languages that your building and learning from every day. You can describe an agent you've built, a workflow you've automated, or a problem you've solved that a year ago you could not have
- You’re an AI-builder, not just an AI-user. Vibe-coded side projects, scrappy internal tools, scripts that saved you hours. We don't care about the form, we care that you experiment!
- You’re comfortable with data; reasoning about funnels, conversion rates, and unit economics
- You're curious about business. You want to understand why partnerships matter, how SMB fintech works, and what makes a good partner relationship, not just execute on tickets
- You're proactive and self-sufficient: you can take a vague problem, ask the right probing questions, and come back with a working v1
- You bring a learner's mindset. You'll be operating at the edge of what's possible with current AI tooling, which means a lot of "I don't know yet, let me figure it out"
Desirable
- You're a current student in CS, engineering, math, business, or a related field
- You have some knowledge of SQL, BI tools (Metabase, Tableau, Looker), Google Sheets, or the basics of an MCP, agent framework, or LLM API
- You've shipped a project (a side hustle, a hackathon win, an internal tool, a Shopify app) that someone other than you actually used
What the job involves
- The start date for this role will be May 11, 2026 and the end date will be August 27th, 2026
- Relay has an amazing story to tell to SMBs, and working with other software companies that our customers trust is an excellent way to communicate that message, attract new customers, and build our brand
- Partnerships will be a defining channel for Relay’s growth. As we scale this function, we're betting that AI-agents and workflows can run a partnerships program at a level that rivals teams several times our size
- As a Partnerships Intern, reporting to our Director of Partnerships, you'll spend the summer building agents, shipping production tooling, and helping define what an AI-native go-to-market function looks like at Relay
- Build, deploy, and maintain AI agents and workflows that own real parts of the partnerships function, including reporting, support, performance analytics, partner outreach, content, enablement, and market intelligence
- Ship production reporting in Metabase that we send directly to external partners, and iterating on the dashboards based on partner feedback
- Identify anomalies, funnel breakages, and data quality issues by building agents that monitor and flag them proactively
- Draft partner-facing content (one-pagers, campaign briefs, outreach sequences, enablement material) using AI as a co-author and Relay's voice as the source of truth
- Sit in on partner calls, strategy sessions, and internal reviews, and turn the messy outputs into structured artifacts the team can act on
- Document everything you build so the next person, human or agent, can pick it up and run
Application process
- Stage 1: A 30-minute Google Meet video call with the hiring manager
- Stage 2: A take-home project where you'll build a small agent or workflow that solves a real problem we give you. Plan for around two hours
Our take
Traditional banking options can feel outdated and tedious, especially if this includes in-person visits and waiting in line. This has led to the rise of online banking - but lots of smaller companies have to navigate multiple complicated applications in order to manage this business banking.
This is what Relay aims to fix. It's no-fee, online banking and money management platform looks to tackle financial complexity for SMBs. The company's goal is to fully automate the finance function using banking that deeply integrates into back-office systems. And its software is designed to affordably increase financial clarity and security, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.
Relay is focused on its long-term goals and plans to scale up distribution and grow in sales, marketing, customer support, operations, engineering and product. The company currently serves thousands of SMBs across the US with the goal to get 100,000 small businesses over the next few years.
