Business Strategy Intern

Are you a curious, analytical student who wants to see how strategy decisions get made at a fast-growing payments company? As a Business Strategy Intern on NMI’s Revenue Acceleration team, you’ll own strategic projects for our leadership team, covering pricing, monetization and competitive strategy across the payments and fintech landscape.

This is a US remote internship for Summer 2027, running 11–13 weeks. You’ll use AI throughout your work, partner with stakeholders across the business, and end the summer by presenting your findings and recommendations to our executive team. Working hours are 8am–5pm, Monday through Friday in your local time zone. We prefer candidates in the Eastern or Central time zones, but welcome applicants from anywhere in the US.

How We Work - Our Core Values

• Be a Good Person, It’s Simple. We treat everyone fairly and with respect. We lead with kindness, humility and integrity. We take the time to understand each other and our customers. And we serve with care, because customers are never a transaction, and always our focus
• Align, Trust & Go. We debate openly, listen carefully and challenge thoughtfully. Once we decide, we move forward together - holding ourselves accountable to our commitments, and focusing on what matters most to our customers. That alignment creates momentum.
• Raise the Bar. Good enough isn’t enough. We stay curious, measure everything, stay honest about progress and keep pushing ourselves to think creatively. We drive change, again and again. And leave things better than we found them. When we raise the bar, our customers feel it too.
