You will...

As the Digital Finance & Automation Intern (Project Fast-Track), you will lead a high-impact mission to revolutionize our financial operations. Your primary objective is to design and prototype an automated "bridge" between incoming customer invoices and our internal BPM/Power Apps tools. You won't just be observing digital transformation; you will be the lead architect of a solution that eliminates manual data entry and accelerates our speed-to-market.

Day-to-day you may be...

Process Auditing: Analyzing a variety of invoice formats (PDFs/Excels) from our top 10 customers to identify critical data fields required for our internal systems.

Solution Architecting: Exploring "No-Code" extraction methods, testing Power Automate "AI Builder" for document processing versus structured Excel conversion.

Flow Development: Building automated workflows where users can simply drop an invoice into a folder for automatic data extraction and preparation.

Sandbox Testing: Running end-to-end simulations of your "bridge" to ensure data integrity between the invoice and our Power Apps tools.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Collaborating with the wider Finance and Operations teams to test the tool's accuracy and building "Manual Review" protocols for edge-case invoices.

SOP Creation: Producing professional Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and technical documentation to ensure the team can maintain and scale your tool after your 10-week tenure.

You have...

In order to be successful in this role, you will need to have:

Technical Curiosity: An interest in "No-Code" solutions, Automation, or the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate/Power Apps).

Analytical Rigor: The ability to audit complex documents and map out structured data fields (Invoice Numbers, Tax, Currency) with high attention to detail.

Problem-Solving Mindset: A desire to "unblock" teams by replacing repetitive manual tasks with elegant, automated solutions.

Logical Thinking: The ability to design "If/Then" logic and error-handling steps for when systems encounter unreadable data.

Proactivity: A "self-starter" attitude with the drive to take a project from initial audit to a fully functioning prototype in 10 weeks.

Digital Fluency: Strong proficiency in Excel and an interest in AI-driven document processing.
