About the Role

We’re looking for a motivated, curious, and people-oriented intern to join our Corporate Finance team for the summer. This role sits at the intersection of two high-visibility functions – Fixed Cost FP&A and Corporate FP&A – giving you broad exposure to how a global public company plans, measures, and communicates financial performance. You’ll work alongside experienced finance professionals who will invest in your development while giving you real ownership of meaningful work. If you’re someone who gets energized by solving problems, learning new tools, and collaborating across teams, this is the internship for you.

• Support total company Compensation & Benefits (C&B) analysis and reporting
• Help prepare variance analyses and identify cost trends across functional areas
• Partner with functional budget owners to gather inputs and validate assumptions

What You’ll Gain

• Direct exposure to executive-level financial reporting at a publicly traded company
• Hands‑on experience with enterprise planning tools and financial systems
• Mentorship from a collaborative team that values development and growth
• Understanding of how FP&A drives strategic decision-making across a global organization

What We’re Looking For

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office products – particularly Excel (formulas, pivot tables, data manipulation) and PowerPoint (building clear, executive‑ready presentations)
• Technologically curious – you enjoy exploring new tools, automating tasks, and finding smarter ways to work
• Positive attitude – you bring energy and optimism to the team, even when tackling complex or ambiguous challenges
• Enjoys working with people – you thrive in collaborative environments and communicate effectively across all levels of the organization
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
• Eagerness to learn and a genuine interest in corporate finance

Preferred (But Not Required)

• Familiarity with financial planning tools (e.g., SAP, Hyperion, Adaptive, or similar)
• Prior internship or coursework in FP&A, corporate finance, or accounting
• Interest in data visualization or business intelligence tools
