We’re a diverse team of over 1,000 individuals, representing more than 60 different nationalities and speaking 40+ languages and we’re continuing to grow rapidly!
We are recruiting for our North America region where you'll be joining a growing team of nearly 150 people based from our New York and Chicago offices. Consultants based in the USA will support clients across the Americas with opportunity to travel globally. Our consultants provide flexible support to clients whether it is a rapid assessment, short term savings realisation or embedding in a long-term partnership to deliver lasting and measurable value to clients.
As a part of 2 to 3 month internship, we are looking for interns who can support our team of consultants on a client project. This is an entry-level role designed as a first step into management consulting. Working under the guidance of an experienced consultant, your key role is to:

At Efficio, colleagues with diverse backgrounds, ideas, and viewpoints come together to identify innovative solutions for our clients - and so we're looking for our new team members to bring strong communication, empathy, and relationship-building skills to maintain this culture as we grow.
We encourage our teams to proactively innovate and challenge the status-quo, backed by strong analytical thinking and creative problem-solving abilities alongside comfortable proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint. We're looking for team members who enjoy and have experience of digging into complex challenges at a leading management consultancy or in a relevant industry position.
Strong opportunities for career growth are an important part of our offering; as such, we love seeing ambition and a proactive approach to shaping your career to your goals and interests.
To meet client needs, we look for flexibility to travel; you can give us a heads-up on your preferences when applying.

• An exemplary academic background; preferably in Engineering, Science, Business, or Economics
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Confident communicator, able to provide a summary view of complex material succinctly
• Proficient in the use of MS Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint
• A self-starter with a proactive and enquiring approach
• Ability to work in teams and take direction - with a service orientated mindset
• Excellent attention to detail and motivation to suggest new ideas and see tasks through to completion
• Very good organisation and time management skills
• Prior internship experience is preferable
