Job description

Sorini Strategic Advisors LLC (SSA) is seeking an intern to start in January 2027 at its Washington, DC office. SSA is a fast-paced consulting and government affairs firm focused on international trade policy. Ideal candidates are currently enrolled graduate or undergraduate students who can work up to 20 hours a week in a hybrid in-person/remote setting and support our staff and principals on a variety of projects. Hourly pay is commensurate with experience.

The intern will be responsible for a variety of tasks, including but not limited to:

• Supporting client and business projects with focused research and writing
• Monitoring and reporting on the status of trade legislation and negotiations
• Compiling, manipulating, and reporting trade data
• Assisting our operations team in planning and running medium- to large-scale client fly-ins, including scheduling meetings, organizing logistics, coordinating office needs, and drafting and preparing briefing materials
• Attending Congressional hearings and think tank, media, and industry trade events, and writing follow-up memorandums
• Providing administrative support to firm operations

Interested individuals must be self-starters who can work independently and handle a high level of responsibility. The role requires strong interpersonal communication, organizational, and research skills, as well as proficiency in Microsoft Excel. A genuine interest in international and domestic trade, economic, customs, and labor policy and/or issue advocacy is strongly preferred.

Because this hybrid role combines in-office and remote work depending on client visits, applicants must be located in the Washington, DC area (including Maryland and Virginia) for the duration of the internship.
