Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 

At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

Edelman Smithfield is the strategic transactions and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) advisory boutique within Edelman, that works alongside capital markets participants to provide counsel and communications support in strategic situations, including M&As, IPOs and activist defense. Our work ranges across financial communications and investor relations advisory work.
 
We are not looking for an intern with decades of experience and industry qualifications. Instead, we seek a colleague who loves learning, always goes back to first principles, and shares our passion for helping clients solve problems. In return, we will support you in your journey to build the foundational skills and learning frameworks in support of your career as an indispensable business partner.

  • Have a dedicated coach that can help you get the most out of your internship experience.

  • Experience our Edelman and Edelman Smithfield culture – that’s what makes our strategy tangible.

  • Demonstrated creative thinker.
  • Familiar with the public relations, digital marketing, or communications discipline through past coursework, internships, or personal experiences.
  • Basic financial knowledge will be a bonus, but not a must.
