Egg Strategy is a global strategy and innovation consultancy that provides consumer insight, brand building, and innovation services to clients. We work with clients across industries, including consumer packaged goods (CPG), Health, and Lifestyle, to transform their big questions into meaningful insights. Our key services include:
• Qualitative and quantitative consumer research
• Brand building and positioning
• Uncovering actionable consumer and brand insights
• Brand and product innovation

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for recent college grads or career changers who are curious, driven, and excited to learn! Our internship program is designed to help you learn business operations-focused skills.

At Egg, we believe that the ideal intern candidate can come from anywhere – truly! Although it’s helpful to know a thing or two about general business and basic accounting, we’re mostly looking for people who are willing to roll their sleeves up, lean into their organizational and critical thinking skills and have an appetite to learn. During your time at Egg, you’ll work both independently and collaboratively, and apply skills towards a variety of projects and internal initiatives daily. 

Key Characteristics/Traits:

• A strong work ethic driven by the desire to be a consummate team player, recognizing their success comes from helping those around them to succeed
• An innate curiosity for understanding not just the “what’, but also the “why” with everything they do, utilizing that context to not just deliver but over deliver on expectations
• A passion for driving, evolving, and creating processes that help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall Egg team
• A high attention to detail, amazing organizational skills and ability to effectively multi-task in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

Egg Strategy is committed to creating a diverse environment with an inclusive workplace culture, and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We value both diversity & inclusion, and non-traditional career paths in all of our positions and seek applicants who bring different journeys and experiences.

• Keep team tasks up to date with detailed information and notes

INTERNSHIP DETAILS

Timing: The internship is approximately 12 weeks long, 40 hours per week (exact timing, including start and end dates, are dependent on applicant availability). Internships will begin in June/July 2021.

Availability: We expect interns to work 40 hours per week. There may be an opportunity for the internship to convert into a full-time position, depending on intern performance and business need.

COVID-19 Impacts: Given our current realities, the internships are being structured as remote, and require working from home. Depending on the state of COVID cases in each state, there may be an option to work part-time from a local office for fully vaccinated staff – more detail can be shared during the interview process. While we know a remote internship doesn’t provide for the same intimate learning environment, rest assured that Egg is adept at virtual collaboration! Interns will be partnered with full-time Egg mentors and provided distinct opportunities to integrate into the working culture.

Location: We are seeking interns to join either our Chicago or Denver office. Please specify in your application which location(s) you are applying for.

Although the internship will likely be remote for some, if not all interns do need to be located within the metro area for which they are applying. Egg Strategy is not able to provide for relocation for internships.

Compensation: Internship are paid at $15.00 per hour.
