emtelligent | Remote (NYC or Minneapolis preferred) | 12 weeks: Jun 2 – Aug 22, 2026 | $25–30/hr, 40 hrs/wk | Reports to: Chirag Jain, Growth Lead
ABOUT EMTELLIGENT
Emtelligent builds the language layer for clinical and medical data. Our NLP platform converts unstructured clinical documents into structured, coded clinical data that powers downstream AI, analytics, and decision-making for healthcare’s largest organizations. We’re a seed-stage startup based in Vancouver, working with national payers, data platforms, and health systems.
We’re not building another AI chatbot. We’re building the deterministic infrastructure that makes AI in healthcare actually reliable.
WHY EMTELLIGENT
- Early-stage exposure — inside the room during fundraising, strategic pivots, and market entry decisions, not reading about them in a case study
- Direct access to leadership — work alongside the Growth Lead, VP of GTM, and CGO daily, not through layers of middle management
- Real output that ships — your deliverables go to investors, customers, and leadership. Nothing you build sits in a shared drive
- AI-native team — we build with Claude Code, Perplexity, and Notion as core infrastructure, not as experiments
- Potential for continued engagement — exceptional performers will have the opportunity for ongoing involvement beyond the summer
THE ROLE
You’ll join the Strategy Group and work directly with the Growth Lead and VP of GTM as the team’s market intelligence and strategy operations engine. Your job is to build the research, data infrastructure, and analytical systems that drive strategic decisions during a critical growth phase.
This is not a “get coffee and shadow meetings” internship. You’ll own projects end-to-end, ship real deliverables, and work with the same AI tools the team uses daily. Your output will directly inform investor conversations, product launches, and market entry decisions.
YOUR PROJECTS WILL START WITH QUESTIONS LIKE
“A competitor just raised $200M and is moving into our space — what’s our positioning, and where do we win?”
“We’re entering three new verticals this year — which one has the best unit economics and shortest sales cycle?”
“Leadership needs real-time visibility into GTM performance — what should we measure, and how do we build the dashboard?”
WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON
- Develop market intelligence fluency — build the research systems and competitive analysis that directly inform how leadership makes strategic bets
- Build analytical infrastructure — define growth metrics, design dashboards, and operationalize reporting so the team has real-time visibility into what matters
- Contribute to investor-grade materials — support the production of fundraising artifacts, market sizing, and competitive landscape analysis
- Own internal operating systems — build and maintain the databases, workflows, and knowledge management tools that keep the Strategy Group running
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- You build with AI tools daily — Claude Code, Perplexity, or similar. You don’t just use them, you build workflows and artifacts with them at speed.
- You think in business frameworks — market sizing, competitive positioning, unit economics, go-to-market strategy. You’ve studied it, practiced it, or both.
- You’re data-driven — you instinctively reach for numbers, build dashboards, and translate messy information into structured analysis. You’re comfortable with spreadsheets, data visualization, and lightweight BI tools.
- You’re autonomous and fast — you take a 10-minute briefing and come back with an 80% complete deliverable, not a list of clarifying questions.
- You’re curious, driven, and collaborative — you like working alongside others, asking questions, and bringing energy to the team. You take initiative without waiting to be told what to do.
- You’re interested in healthcare, enterprise software, or deep tech — you don’t need domain expertise, but curiosity about how clinical data infrastructure works will make you much more effective.
NICE TO HAVE
- Previous internships in consulting, venture capital, corporate strategy, or product management — or experience building your own business or side projects
- Experience with Notion (building databases, dashboards, automations)
- Located in New York City or Minneapolis (for occasional in-person collaboration)
- Interest in founding a company or joining an early-stage team post-graduation
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
- A portfolio of investor-grade market analysis, competitive intelligence, and strategic materials
- Hands-on experience building data infrastructure and analytical systems at a real company, not a classroom simulation
- Working fluency in AI-native research and analysis workflows
- A professional network across healthcare technology leadership
- A strong reference from people who watched you ship real work
TO APPLY
Send your resume, a brief cover letter, and a link to something you’ve shipped — a side project, blog post, product, or artifact you built.
We care more about how you think and build than where you go to school.
Applications reviewed on a rolling basis. Start date: June 2, 2026. Program runs through August 22, 2026.

About emtelligent

We’re a seed-stage startup based in Vancouver, working with national payers, data platforms, and health systems.
We’re not building another AI chatbot. We’re building the deterministic infrastructure that makes AI in healthcare actually reliable.
Why emtelligent
- Early-stage exposure — inside the room during fundraising, strategic pivots, and market entry decisions, not reading about them in a case study
- Direct access to leadership — work alongside the Growth Lead, VP of GTM, and CGO daily, not through layers of middle management
- Real output that ships — your deliverables go to investors, customers, and leadership. Nothing you build sits in a shared drive
- AI-native team — we build with Claude Code, Perplexity, and Notion as core infrastructure, not as experiments
- Potential for continued engagement — exceptional performers will have the opportunity for ongoing involvement beyond the summer
The Role
You’ll join the Strategy Group and work directly with the Growth Lead, VP of GTM, and Marketing Manager to support emtelligent’s go-to-market execution. Your job is to help build the content, campaigns, collateral, and materials that drive awareness, pipeline, and credibility during a critical growth phase — owning specific projects end-to-end while learning from experienced operators.
This is not a “get coffee and shadow meetings” internship. You’ll own real projects, ship real deliverables, and work with the same AI tools the team uses daily. Your output will directly shape how the market sees emtelligent.
Your Projects Will Start With Questions Like
- “How do you launch a product into a market that doesn’t know it needs you yet?”
- “Our buyer is a VP of Data at a national payer — what messaging lands with them vs. a clinical informatics officer?”
- “We just published research that beats the industry benchmark by 23 points — how do we turn that into a campaign that drives pipeline?”
What You’ll Work On
- Build go-to-market materials that reach real buyers — produce collateral, content, and campaign assets that support external presence and sales conversations
- Learn to position a technical product for different audiences — develop messaging fluency across buyer personas, from clinical informaticists to C-suite executives to LinkedIn followers
- Support and own select marketing campaigns — work alongside the Marketing Manager to execute content cadence, product launches, and brand-building activities, with the opportunity to own specific campaigns end-to-end
- Develop competitive and market awareness — conduct research that sharpens positioning, informs messaging, and keeps the team ahead of market shifts
What We’re Looking For
- You build with AI tools daily — Claude Code, Perplexity, or similar. You don’t just use them, you build workflows and artifacts with them at speed.
- You’re a sharp writer and visual communicator — you can produce a two-pager, a social post, a slide, or a campaign brief that’s clear, on-brand, and doesn’t need heavy editing.
- You think about audience — you understand how to position a message for a technical buyer versus an executive versus a LinkedIn follower, and you adjust tone and framing accordingly.
- You’re data-driven — you measure what you ship. You track engagement, test copy, and use numbers to inform what’s working and what isn’t.
- You’re autonomous and fast — you take a 10-minute briefing and come back with an 80% complete deliverable, not a list of clarifying questions.
- You’re curious, driven, and collaborative — you like working alongside others, asking questions, and bringing energy to the team. You take initiative without waiting to be told what to do.
- You’re interested in healthcare, enterprise software, or deep tech — you don’t need domain expertise, but curiosity about how clinical data infrastructure works will make you much more effective.
Nice to Have
- Previous internships in marketing, content strategy, growth, or brand — or experience building your own business, newsletter, or content platform
- Portfolio of writing samples, campaigns, or content you’ve produced
- Experience with design tools (Figma, Canva) or basic web development
- Located in New York City or Minneapolis (for occasional in-person collaboration)
- Interest in founding a company or joining an early-stage team post-graduation
What You’ll Walk Away With
- A portfolio of campaign materials, sales collateral, and marketing content you can show future employers
- Experience positioning a technical product for enterprise healthcare buyers — a rare skill at the intern level
- Working fluency in AI-native content production and campaign workflows
- A professional network across healthcare technology leadership
- A strong reference from people who watched you ship real work
To Apply
Send your resume, a brief cover letter, and a link to something you’ve shipped — a side project, blog post, product, or artifact you built. Must be authorized to work in the United States.
