Position Overview

We’re looking for an organized and problem-solving intern to help build a system that tracks and organizes critical disaster-related information. This role is about more than just research—it’s about creating a structured, repeatable process that ensures people impacted by disasters get the information they need, when they need it.

  • Organize and categorize information to make it easy to find and use.

  • Use AI and automation tools to collect and structure information efficiently.

  • Set up workflows in Notion and other digital platforms for scalability.

  • Test and refine the system during real disasters to improve effectiveness.

  • Document workflows and create a playbook for future disaster response.

  • Ensure the system is simple, adaptable, and easy to use.

Who You Are

  • Organized and detail-oriented, with a talent for structuring complex information.

  • Comfortable using digital tools like Notion, AI assistants, and automation platforms (or willing to learn).

  • Interested in mission-driven work, crisis response, or improving how information is used during emergencies.

  • Able to problem-solve, work independently, and think strategically about how to improve systems.

Why Join Bright Harbor?

  • Climate Adaptation Focused: Be part of a company working to address one of the most critical issues of our time—adapting our communities to climate change.

  • Impactful Work: Join a mission-driven team that’s making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
