Gemic is a global growth strategy firm with offices in Berlin, London, New York, and Toronto. We help some of the largest global companies solve their most difficult growth strategy challenges. As business-minded creative strategists, we are grounded by the methods of the social sciences and design, inspired by the humanities, and reinforced by the analytical rigor of strategy consulting. We are anthropologists, philosophers, designers, economists, sociologists, political scientists, and futurists.

We work in small teams that carry a project from inception, through research and strategy, into design-led solutions. More than anything, though, we care deeply about what the future will look like, feel like, and mean. We know that in order to reimagine the future, the present must be unapologetically fun, healthy, and interesting. So, in addition to having some of the sharpest minds and personalities around, we offer our strategists a strong commitment to work-life balance and a vibrant company culture.

THE GEMIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Our internships are a bit non-traditional in that we treat the opportunity as a springboard to potential full-time employment for people with 0-2 years professional experience (think direct entry to entry level). Because of this, we look for people who, if hired, could start immediately or soon after this engagement ends and therefore have little to no schooling left to complete and up-to-date, typically permanent work authorization.

You’ll be based out of one of our offices for a three- to four-month paid engagement and expected to hit the ground running as a key member of a project team. 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.

Please note, unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor visas or work permits, which is why you must be legally authorized to work in the country to which you are applying.

We are looking to place interns for Winter 2023 with possible start dates any time between January and April 2023. The start dates for the internships are flexible and hence we will tailor the specific timing, duration, and location separately with each successful applicant. 

You’ll be offered monthly compensation – Berlin: €2,200 (EUR); London: £2,100 (GBP); New York: $3,600 (USD); Toronto: $3,700 (CAD). We expect this engagement to occur in person, not remotely, however we continue to monitor situations in all countries to ensure the health and safety of our staff.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

We are looking for exceptionally creative, intellectually curious, brave, and humble humans who have a demonstrated interest in business and culture, and a love for solving big challenges.

We are open to candidates from diverse backgrounds, with major bonus points for having an inquisitive, global mindset. Our most desired qualifications include:

• Final year student, recent graduate, or young professional (0-2 years professional experience)
• Quantitative and analytical skills
• Know, love, and have strong opinions of the social sciences, business strategy, humanities, and design
• Culturally competent and linguistically talented
• Easily distracted by intellectually exciting ideas
• Phenomenal at storytelling
• Kind and collaborative under pressure
• Curious, abstract, and strategic thinker
• Willingness to learn and be an active part in personal and professional development
