Our company's Global Communications organization has an opportunity for a summer communications intern focused on artificial intelligence (AI). This individual will join a small team within Global Communications that designs, pilots and scales AI-powered tools for communicators — such as assistants that help leaders' messages sound like them, draft organizational announcements and build presentations — with an opportunity to learn from communicators, technologists and Global Communications leaders at all levels. The internship role will be focused on drafting the communications that bring this work to life, including promotional content, pilot user communications and presentations, along with hands-on testing of the tools, in support of our company's purpose of using the power of leading-edge science to save and improve lives around the world.

This internship will be based in the Rahway, NJ, location. This individual will be expected to come to the Rahway, NJ, office 3 times a week.

Responsibilities of this role include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Explore how AI agents could support communications teams by helping identify and evaluate potential use cases, contributing to early-stage agent development and informing priorities for future tools
• Draft promotional communications for the AI program and its tools, including announcements, launch communications, intranet features, newsletter items and success stories, to build awareness and drive adoption across Global Communications
• Draft pilot user communications, including onboarding notes, release updates, quick-start guides and frequently asked questions, so pilot participants can get started quickly and stay current as tools evolve
• Develop presentations for sponsors, leadership, pilot sessions and showcases that translate technical progress into clear stories and visuals
• Test AI tools in pilot, including running structured test cases, documenting where they succeed and where they fall short, and sharing findings with the build team
• Effectively partner with cross-functional subject matter experts to secure and incorporate input into communications materials
• Conduct research on how peer companies and the broader industry communicate about AI, and bring back examples and ideas the team can use
• Support the AI incubation team in day-to-day tasks and special projects
