Job description

When you join Verizon You want more out of a career. A place to share your ideas freely — even if they’re daring or different. Where the true you can learn, grow, and thrive. At Verizon, we power and empower how people live, work and play by connecting them to what brings them joy. We do what we love — driving innovation, creativity, and impact in the world. Our V Team is a community of people who anticipate, lead, and believe that listening is where learning begins. In crisis and in celebration, we come together — lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the #VTeamLife.

Launch your career where innovation meets immediate impact. As an intern at Verizon, you won't just join a specific business unit - you’ll gain broad exposure across our entire AI-first ecosystem. We value cross-disciplinary thinkers and offer rising seniors a true launchpad. High-performing interns may have the opportunity to be considered for our elite developmental rotational program, unlocking cross-organizational mobility and rapid skill development.

We’re seeking future-focused builders who combine technical AI fluency with an innate drive to grow. Ideal candidates are agile problem solvers who think in systems, leverage data, and streamline complex processes. Crucially, we’re looking for leaders with the capacity to break down silos, influence cross-functional teams, build lasting trust, and navigate AI ethics with a customer-first lens—all while collaborating with mentors across business units to help shape the future of tech.

What you’ll be doing...

You and your team will be working on a real project in real time: it’ll be impactful and timely work that the business depends on. In recent summers, interns in the Base Marketing organization have:

• Partnered within multi-disciplinary Agile Pods to design, test, and execute innovative customer marketing strategies across the customer lifecycle.
• Ideated creative customer segmentation, targeting, and personalized engagement strategies to reduce churn, grow revenue, and improve overall customer satisfaction.
• Collaborated with analytics, measurement, and channel execution chapters to turn data-driven customer insights into actionable marketing campaigns.

You’ll also join us for the Intern Marquee event in Basking Ridge, NJ, a unique, in-person experience designed exclusively for all US interns. This multi-day event is your chance to build your connections through structured networking and be inspired by top executives in a professional environment.

Who we’re looking for...

Driven to perform at your personal best, you thrive in fast-paced environments where dynamic challenges require speed, adaptability, and an entrepreneurial mindset. You look beyond basic execution and use systems thinking, data-driven reasoning, and technical acumen to streamline complex processes and solve tough problems. Passionate about continuous learning, you take smart, calculated risks and lead with ethical judgment. You bring a collaborative, "One Team" spirit that breaks down silos and influences stakeholders across the business to deliver customer-centric impact.

All successful applicants to this role will:

• Be currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree program with a graduation date between December 2027 - June 2028, and be in good academic standing.
• Have the ability to participate in a full-time, hybrid, 10-week (temporary) internship between June 2027 to August 2027.
• Have authorization to work in the U.S. without restrictions or need for future sponsorship.
• Be willing and able to travel.
• Be willing and able to relocate.
• Demonstrate agile, clear, and persuasive written and verbal communication.
• Have demonstrated work or project expertise in designing frictionless, end-to-end customer or user journeys powered by dynamic pricing, predictive value realization, or complex MarTech stacks.
• Have experience with AI tools such as Gemini, Claude, NotebookLM.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Current enrollment in a Bachelor's degree program in one of the following majors: Digital Media & Marketing, Marketing, or a related major.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies, cross-functional team structures, or sprint-based campaign execution.
• Passion for data-driven marketing, customer lifecycle management, retention strategies, and audience segmentation.
• Demonstrated experience driving cross-functional projects, applying systems thinking, data-backed reasoning, and process simplification to solve complex problems and streamline workflows across matrixed teams.
• A track record of rapid skill acquisition and entrepreneurial initiative, with proven ability to leverage technical/data literacy (including AI tools) to adapt to shifting priorities and deliver customer-centric outcomes.
