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.

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 juniors who will be eligible for a Summer 2027 internship.

Opportunities will be available across our U.S. offices, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, New York, and Washington, DC.
