ABOUT THE ROLE

Great work starts with a great foundation. And we hope to build a great foundation through our Summer Associate Program. Summer Associates dive into every detail of the business, working to gain an understanding of our clients, their growth aspirations, and what drives their customers.

Summer Associates work with everyone in the firm, collaborating with colleagues across the organization. On any given project, you’ll interact with clients, Partners, Designers, Insights Specialists, Content Strategists, and many others from our rich multidisciplinary bench. The Summer Associate role is organized to cultivate a true understanding of our approach to consulting and develop the skills to get it done.

YOUR DAY TO DAY

While every day will be different, you can expect to:

Gain a deep understanding of business and customers.
You’ll dig into industries, markets, and customer behaviors to understand how our clients grow and how shifting customer needs, digital trends, and market conditions may impact that growth. Through primary and secondary research, you’ll help uncover insights that drive transformation.
Collaborate on complex challenges with multidisciplinary teams.
Working side-by-side with strategists, designers, day-to-day client leads, you’ll help answer big strategic questions on growth, brand, marketing, and transformation. You may be shaping a new brand or exploring a market entry strategy; always contributing your perspective while learning to refine it with feedback.
Contribute to creative problem-solving and storytelling.
You’ll analyze data, participate in ideation sessions, and help shape hypotheses. Then, you’ll turn research into persuasive deliverables (decks, frameworks, and presentations), learning how to frame the “so what” and present insightful, actionable recommendations to internal leaders and clients.
Play a role beyond project work.
Interns also contribute to firm growth and culture from supporting business development and proposals to helping shape office initiatives and thought leadership. It’s a chance to stretch your skills beyond client work and make your mark internally.
Learn fast, grow early, and lead with a point of view.
You’ll have exposure to senior teammates and clients, with mentorship and regular feedback to help you build confidence and sharpen your POV, in written presentations and as a voice in the room. You’ll practice articulating your perspective, iterating with teammates, and shaping best-in-class results.
