We have an immediate need for a Costpoint Project Setup Intern.

Reporting to the Contract Setup Manager, the Costpoint Project Setup Intern will be a contributing member of a fully remote, highly collaborative team that ensures SPA contracts are accurately established and maintained in our Costpoint accounting system. This internship is designed as a learning role: the intern will be trained in how to interpret contract documents and how those documents translate into Costpoint project setups that support effective program execution and accurate billing. Under close guidance and supervision, the intern will assist with project and contract updates in the Costpoint Projects Module (including basic workforce mapping tasks), review and validate information prepared by other team members, and help maintain clear, organized documentation of setups and modifications. The intern may also support special projects and process-improvement initiatives as business needs arise.

Our team works hard, holds itself to high standards, and values flexibility and work-life balance. As a fully remote team, we emphasize clear communication, accountability, and mutual support. The Costpoint Project Setup Intern will learn to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a professional environment, while having the flexibility and support needed to build skills and confidence. This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, eager to learn, and interested in gaining hands-on experience in government contract setup, and financial systems.
