About BORC

BORC is a New York-based fashion brand building a more structured, data-informed and AI-supported approach to content, e-commerce and business operations.

We are looking for a highly organized and detail-oriented intern to help us establish the foundational standards behind our internal digital asset, data and workflow systems.

This is not an AI engineering or software development position. The role focuses on organizing content, preparing business data, documenting workflows and testing practical AI tools against real business needs.

What You’ll DoDigital Asset and Content Operations — Approximately 50%

• Collect and organize photo and video assets from shared albums, employee computers, messaging platforms and other existing sources
• Transfer and archive approved assets into Dropbox
• Maintain a clear and consistent folder structure
• Apply standardized file names, tags and metadata
• Build and maintain an Asset Index for products, campaigns, celebrity placements, founder content, PR and advertising assets
• Track where and how assets have been used across platforms
• Identify duplicate, missing or incorrectly labeled files
• Prepare weekly editing packages for the creative and content team
• Help make older content easier to locate, edit and reuse

Business Data Preparation — Approximately 25%

• Identify current data sources across Shopify, Meta, organic social media, CRM and wholesale
• Document where each data source is stored and how it is currently maintained
• Organize and clean existing spreadsheets
• Standardize field names, product names, SKUs, dates, channels and other basic data formats
• Check for missing, duplicate or inconsistent information
• Support the creation of a basic data source map and data dictionary
• Prepare organized source data for future reporting and dashboard development

This role supports data preparation and quality control but is not responsible for advanced data analysis.

SOP and Workflow Documentation — Approximately 15%

• Observe and document how team members currently complete recurring tasks
• Turn informal or verbal processes into clear step-by-step SOPs
• Record task owners, required inputs, expected outputs and completion frequency
• Identify bottlenecks, repeated manual work and areas where errors commonly occur
• Flag workflow steps that may be suitable for future automation
• Help maintain an internal SOP and workflow library

AI Tool Research and Testing — Approximately 10%

• Test practical AI tools against specific BORC business needs
• Explore tools for asset tagging, image recognition, file organization, duplicate detection and workflow documentation
• Document the purpose, process, output, limitations and potential value of each test
• Verify AI-generated results rather than accepting outputs without review
• Recommend whether a tool is worth further testing or technical implementation

AI research must always be connected to a defined business problem. This is not an open-ended AI trend research position.

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys turning messy files, information and processes into clear and usable systems.

You may have experience or project work in:

• Digital asset management
• Content operations
• E-commerce operations

• Working knowledge of Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel
• Ability to sort, filter, standardize and review data for missing or duplicate information
• Understanding of file naming, folder structures and version control
• Ability to write clear and easy-to-follow instructions
• Willingness to perform detailed and sometimes repetitive operational work
• Ability to communicate clearly with creative, marketing and operations team members
• Comfortable working independently after receiving clear direction
• Available to work on-site in New York City at least three days per week

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Shopify or e-commerce product data
• Experience organizing photo, video, campaign or social media assets
• Experience creating trackers, content libraries or SOPs

• Shopify API integrations

• Data warehouse architecture
• Customer privacy or data security architecture
• Automated advertising decisions

These responsibilities will be handled by technical specialists or future AI Automation Engineering resources.
