Strategy Consulting Internships

**WHO WE ARE**

**HOW WE WORK**

Our areas of focus, which we call “verticals” are: Societal Impact, Social Tech, and Brand-led Growth. Strategists specialize in 1 or 2 areas and build their expertise within a dominant practice. Below are brief descriptions of those verticals:
**Societal Impact**

We help governments, foundations, non-profits, and companies create positive social change through high-impact initiatives in education, sustainability, cultural expression, and human flourishing. Based in Abu Dhabi, our practice serves a wide range of clients in the Middle East and collaborates closely with Gemic teams in Europe and North America.

**_ Locations: UAE (Abu Dhabi or Dubai preferred, open to remote)_**

**Social Tech**

Social Tech at Gemic examines the relationship between humans and technology in order to build toward values-based futures in collaboration with the biggest tech companies in the world as well as startups that are rethinking ideas of trust, safety, and regulation.

**_ Locations: New York (in person) and Toronto (remote)_**

**Brand-led Growth**

Brand-led Growth sits at the intersection of brand, business and innovation. We guide companies on taking bold steps forward by amplifying ownable equities, creating new categories and accelerating growth. As a cross-disciplinary vertical, we work cross-industry, client team, globally, and end-to-end.

**_ Locations: New York and Berlin (in person,) Toronto (remote)_**

**THE GEMIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM**

Our internships are a great opportunity to explore consulting as a whole and Gemic’s specific social science-led approaches to strategy consulting.

You’ll be based in one of our offices for a 3-4 month paid engagement and hit the ground running as a key member of project teams. In addition to taking part in different project phases (including potentially traveling for fieldwork and client meetings), you’ll have a senior team member as your mentor to support your development.

This is a full-time opportunity (40 hours per week). Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate part time engagements. We expect engagements to occur **in person**, not remotely unless otherwise noted.

**Compensation offered per month at each location**:
Berlin (EUR): €2,310

New York (USD): $3,780

Toronto (CAD): $3,885

Abu Dhabi: Dhs 9,450
