Digital Intern - AI Foundry & Digital Growth

About the Role

Prophet's Digital discipline is a dedicated team of seekers, experimenters, and makers - powered by the latest in digital culture and technology - creating breakthrough marketing campaigns, customer experiences, products, services, and new business models that accelerate growth and innovation for our clients. Where much of Prophet works in the realm of strategy and insight, Digital is where thinking becomes doing: we seek out emerging technologies and opportunities, experiment with hypothesis-led approaches, and make the digital things that bring strategies to life.

Our practitioners span the intersections between marketing impact, product and service innovation, and new capability building - all in pursuit of uncommon growth for CEO and CMO buyers. Whether it's launching a go-to-market campaign, designing a new digital product, or standing up an AI-powered service from scratch, Digital is the team that builds it.

Our Digital Summer Associate Program immerses you in this maker culture while giving you hands‑on experience inside Prophet's AI Foundry, the team behind MAIA. MAIA is our next leap in AI - an always-available assistant that amplifies human insight. Built on a multi-agent framework, MAIA connects specialized tools, data sources, and reasoning systems through one interface, turning AI into true Augmented Intelligence that extends our creativity, judgment, and expertise.

Digital Summer Associates work across two complementary tracks: contributing directly to the AI Foundry team (building and evolving MAIA and supporting our ecosystem of AI accelerator partners) and joining client project teams delivering digital strategy, experience design, marketing services, and transformation work. On any given day, you'll interact with engineers, designers, strategists, media specialists, product managers, and client leads from across Prophet's multidisciplinary bench.
