ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP

Program dates: 10 weeks, beginning in June and concluding in August. Exact program dates will be finalized and shared at a later dates.
Application process: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and internship offers may be extended before the application period closes.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Egon Zehnder’s summer internship provides hands-on exposure to executive search and leadership advisory in a collaborative professional-services environment.

Interns join the program as generalists and support live client assignments across industries, functions, and leadership topics. Working alongside researchers and consultants, interns contribute to research and search execution while learning how teams understand companies, assess markets, identify leadership talent, and support clients through complex leadership decisions.

The program combines project work with structured onboarding and training, cross-practice shadowing, and mentorship from both research and consulting colleagues. Interns will also complete a capstone project focused on producing a practical output that can be reused by the firm beyond the summer.

Please note that we are specifically seeking current undergraduate students, expected to graduate in 2028.

Interns contribute to research, analysis, and project execution under the guidance of the team. Client and candidate relationship ownership remains with Egon Zehnder professionals.
