This is an exciting opportunity to work with the Reputation and Politics team at Populus, one of the UK’s leading research and strategy consultancies. Working alongside a busy team of Researchers, Consultants and Directors, our interns make an important contribution to the success of Populus’s work.
This internship will give you first-hand experience of our work: stakeholder research, corporate reputation management, political opinion polling, and other projects using the full range of research techniques.
A degree level education, proven attention-to-detail and excellent writing skills are essential. A demonstrable interest in politics, corporate reputation and current affairs, confidence with Microsoft Office applications, and an understanding of – and ability to use – qualitative and quantitative research techniques are preferred.
We take a real interest in the development of our interns and offer the chance to contribute directly to key projects, to participate in discussions about new projects and new approaches and, when possible, attend events and networking opportunities. Our interns participate in our internal ‘Knowledge Exchange’ sessions.
