Throughout the summer, you will engage in a dynamic learning environment where you will hear from executive speakers, tour lines of businesses outside of your role, and receive tailored professional training through a variety of program experiences.

• Identifying opportunities for efficiency and supporting the rollout of process changes across the team

• Assisting with work related to operational, financial, compliance, or information technology audits to ensure organizational standards are met

• Building collaborative relationships with partners across various lines of business to support broader project goals

• Thriving in a dynamic environment, leaning into ambiguity to complete work that drives business results

An ideal candidate would possess:
