IT Intern
IT INTERN
Wood Financial Group | Hendersonville, TN | Full-Time Internship | $15/hr
ABOUT THE ROLE
Wood Financial Group, a retirement income planning firm, is seeking a motivated IT Intern for an AI-focused role. WFG is actively investing in AI, and this intern will work directly on AI-focused projects — learning tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Canva, and Zapier, and helping the firm figure out how AI and technology can make our operations more efficient. As we don't have an in-house IT department, this role also offers broad exposure to the systems that keep the firm running, from CRM platforms to phone systems.
This is an excellent opportunity for a college senior or graduate student pursuing a degree in Information Technology who wants real-world exposure to how technology supports a financial services business.

- Assist with CRM (Salesforce) administration, data hygiene, and user support
- Support automation and integration projects (Zapier, webhooks, Power Automate)
- Provide basic help desk support for staff — login issues, connectivity, and general hardware/software troubleshooting
- Support vendor coordination for IT-related tools and services (RingCentral, Microsoft 365, security software, etc.)
- Assist with onboarding/offboarding technology setup for new hires
- Help maintain and organize digital files, shared drives, and system documentation
- Document processes and create simple how-to guides for staff
QUALIFICATIONS
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field (rising senior or graduate student preferred)
- Comfortable learning new software platforms quickly
- Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical staff
- Detail-oriented with good organizational and documentation habits
- Ability to work independently and manage tasks with minimal day-to-day supervision
PREFERRED (NOT REQUIRED)
