As our Digital Transformation and Systems Intern you'll support early-stage delivery of HB's evolving digital strategy—mapping, documentation, prioritisation and small pilots (rather than big bang transformation). You can expect a varied, hands-on mix of activities such as:
- Map and document how work gets done today: capture current systems, tools, data flows, and pain points across departments, helping create a baseline view we can improve from.
- Support practical digital governance, help organise information, naming conventions, where things live, and how we create a clearer single source of truth mindset
- Help accelerate ClickUp adoption and ways of working: tidy structures, improve usability, and help teams get value from task/project tracking and reporting
- Explore less Excel / more connected systems opportunities: identify repeat manual steps and propose simpler, more robust alternatives
- Investigate integration and reporting options (with support from the team): where it helps, explore connectors/APIs and automation ideas (e.g., Power Automate / reporting improvements) and document workable approaches
- Support early digital pilots: help run small experiments (e.g., meeting notes/transcription practices, AI usage patterns, lightweight reporting) and capture what worked, what didn't, and what to do next
- Contribute to digital theme workstreams as needed—examples already identified include data governance, AI tools, cybersecurity foundations, SharePoint/storage, core systems, meeting transcription/AI notes, and connectivity/reporting.
Who You Are
We're looking for a smart, practical, IT‑savvy student—someone who enjoys learning new tools and figuring out how we could do this better, and who can communicate clearly with different teams.
You're likely a 2nd or 3rd year undergraduate (mid‑course) looking for a meaningful summer placement where you can build real-world digital experience.
Your degree could be engineering, business, operations, IT, or a related field—we're not only looking for computer science specialists; we're looking for someone who can bridge people, process and tech.
You're curious about digital tools and technology in organisations—how information flows, how teams collaborate, and how automation/reporting can remove friction.
You're comfortable being hands-on and proactive: you can gather input, structure messy information, and turn it into clear notes, simple process maps, and practical recommendations.
You're a confident communicator: able to work with different stakeholders, ask good questions, and present your findings clearly and professionally.
You're happy working in an environment where we're building capability internally (not outsourcing everything): you'll help us learn, document, and embed improvements so they stick.
Nice to have (not essential): familiarity with tools like Microsoft 365, SharePoint, ClickUp, Power BI, Power Automate, or an interest in AI tools and how teams use them productively.
