Business
Operations Associate (Graduate or Internship Opportunity)
Location: Chichester, West Sussex (office-based)
Type: Full-time, permanent or internship opportunity
Want to
learn how a technology company scales?
Most graduate roles place you in a single
department.
This role doesn't.
At sees.ai, you'll work across recruitment,
operations, finance, people, projects, and business improvement initiatives,
gaining first-hand experience of how a high-growth technology company operates
and scales.
We're looking for ambitious, organised, and
proactive individuals who are excited by the idea of solving problems, taking
ownership, and making a genuine impact from day one.
Whether you're a recent graduate, looking for an
internship, or have a year or two of professional experience, this role offers
a unique opportunity to accelerate your career while helping shape one of the
UK's most exciting deep-tech companies.
About
sees.ai
sees.ai is building the operating system for
autonomous drone operations, enabling advanced drones to be deployed safely and
remotely in support of critical national infrastructure.
Our technology is already delivering real-world
impact, and we're now focused on scaling that impact responsibly and
effectively.
You'll join a talented, ambitious team working at
the forefront of autonomous aviation technology, solving complex challenges
that matter.
The
Opportunity
Reporting to the Business Operations Manager,
you'll help keep the business running smoothly while identifying opportunities
to improve how we operate as we grow.
You'll work across multiple functions, supporting
projects and initiatives that touch every part of the organisation. One day you
might be coordinating recruitment activity, the next helping improve internal
processes, supporting onboarding, analysing operational data, or driving
forward an important company-wide project.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants
broad exposure, enjoys variety, and is excited by the challenge of helping
build a growing business.
What You'll
Be Doing
You'll help support and improve the operational
backbone of the company, including:
- Supporting projects across recruitment,
onboarding, people operations, finance, training, and business operations
- Coordinating activities across teams to
ensure priorities progress and deadlines are met
- Improving systems, processes, and ways of
working to help the business scale effectively
- Supporting hiring activity, candidate
coordination, and employee onboarding
- Tracking projects and helping maintain
visibility across important business initiatives
- Assisting with office operations and
creating a positive employee experience
- Solving day-to-day operational challenges
and helping remove barriers to progress
- Taking ownership of initiatives and
driving them through to completion
- Working closely with colleagues across
the business to improve efficiency and effectiveness
Who We're
Looking For
We're far more interested in potential, attitude,
and capability than a specific career background.
You may be:
- A recent graduate
- A student looking for an internship or
placement year
- An early-career professional with up to
two years' experience
- Someone looking for a broad business role
rather than a specialist pathway
We're looking for people who are:
- Highly organised and detail-oriented
- Curious and eager to learn
- Comfortable taking initiative and
ownership
- Strong communicators who enjoy working
with people
- Able to manage multiple priorities in a
fast-paced environment
- Naturally proactive and solutions-focused
- Interested in technology, innovation,
startups, or business operations
- Comfortable learning new systems and
technologies quickly
Experience gained through internships, part-time
work, university projects, student societies, entrepreneurship, volunteering,
sport, or leadership activities will all be valued.
Why This
Role Is Different
Most internships and graduate programmes provide
limited responsibility.
This role is different.
From your first weeks, you'll be trusted with
meaningful work that directly contributes to the success of the business.
You'll gain exposure to:
- Business Operations
- Project Management
- Recruitment & People Operations
- Finance & Commercial Processes
- Organisational Development
- Stakeholder Management
- Process Improvement
- Leadership Decision-Making
For ambitious individuals interested in future
careers in operations, leadership, consulting, project management, startups, or
entrepreneurship, this role offers an exceptional foundation.

- You've become a trusted member of the
team

contribution
- Processes are more effective and scalable
- Leaders spend less time on administration
and coordination

stage

decision-making
