ASSOCIATE INTERN JOB DESCRIPTION

Hypothesis-driven research and client deliverables are what a typical week looks like. Then the work zooms out to financial modeling and stakeholder briefings that inform strategic planning for major enterprise clients. The Associate Intern sits within a consulting project team, supporting engagement managers and partners across market research, business case development, and go-to-market strategy work. Prior internship experience in consulting or a strategy-focused startup meaningfully accelerates performance in this seat.

As the Associate Intern, you will support client-facing research, competitive benchmarking, and business case development that feeds directly into strategic recommendations presented to senior decision-makers. You work alongside engagement managers, senior associates, and subject matter specialists within a consulting project environment, contributing to both client engagements and internal business development initiatives.

Career Impact: Completing a consulting internship with direct client exposure - including presenting findings to senior stakeholders - sharpens the analytical and communication profile that strategy firms evaluate when converting interns to full-time Associates.

Business Impact: The market research, benchmarking analyses, and financial models this role produces inform recommendations that clients act on; gaps in that output translate directly into weaker strategic advice delivered to paying clients.

Growth Opportunity: The path from Associate Intern to full-time Associate or Engagement Manager opens through demonstrated ownership of project work, making this internship a proving ground for a career in strategy consulting or corporate development.

Company Value: Interns are invited to leadership exposure events and cross-functional networking opportunities spanning the U.S., and outstanding performers are considered for return offers.

• Support market and competitor research across assigned client engagements to ground recommendations in evidence.
• Build financial models and business cases that underpin strategic planning decisions for client leadership teams.
• Coordinate preparation for client workshops and senior management briefings, including materials and logistics.
• Collaborate with project managers and senior consultants on benchmarking analyses and leading practice identification.
• Drive internal people and process improvement initiatives alongside full-time consulting staff.
• Contribute to business development and go-to-market support activities as directed by engagement leadership.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, or an applied or natural science discipline, or equivalent work experience.

• Model accuracy rate, reflecting the percentage of financial models that pass senior review without material revision.
• Presentation adoption rate, tracking how many workshop materials are used unchanged by engagement managers.
• Intern-to-offer conversion signal, indicating whether performance meets the threshold for a return or full-time offer.
• Typical tools: presentation and document platforms (commonly PowerPoint or Google Slides); spreadsheet modeling (commonly Excel)

• Base Salary Range: $22–$32 per hour, depending on program tier and location
• Bonus: Typically none for internships; return offer may include signing bonus
• Equity: Not standard at intern level in consulting
• Health Benefits: Pro-rated medical coverage or stipend for summer duration
