Summer Intern, Management Consulting

** All Athena internships are hosted in person at our Philadelphia headquarters. The Summer 2027 cohort will run from June 15th through August 11. Interns are expected to work 20-30 hours per week.** ****

As a Management Consulting Intern, you'll work alongside experienced business analysts, project managers, and account managers to support the planning, coordination, and delivery of client and internal initiatives. You'll gain hands-on exposure to how teams collaborate, manage client needs, organize complex work, improve processes, and move projects from strategy through execution.

Throughout the internship, you will contribute to meaningful assignments and develop foundational skills in consulting, project delivery, and client service, while building relationships across the organization. As an intern, you will work with an Athena team that is engaged with leading firms and clients across a multitude of sectors. You will have the opportunity to add real value and take ownership of key projects in your field, coupled with significant training and professional development opportunities.

The Athena internship program immerses interns in a collaborative, cross-functional environment where they work closely with consulting teams across Creative, Marketing, Events, Operations, and Data Analytics- gaining exposure to how departments align to bring projects to life. Our Capstone Project allows interns to collaborate and contribute to real-world initiatives by presenting their proposal to internal stakeholders. Interns are mentored through weekly managerial check-ins and executive support.

Athena fosters a culture of support, curiosity, connection, and inclusivity, which allows interns to shine. Our intern program begins in June 2026 and is a part-time opportunity to join the organization.
