Job Description

Policy & Government Relations ‑ Legislative Intern

We are looking for enthusiastic interns who are eager to learn about how a professional services firm engages in the legislative process. You will enhance your understanding of the environments in which Deloitte operates (both on the regulated and on the advisory side). As an intern, you will work with diverse groups of professionals, gain first-hand exposure to the tools, processes, and services we provide to clients, and learn how we engage with policymakers, lawmakers, third-party advocates, and coalitions. 

Work You’ll Do
As an intern, you will work as part of the Policy & Government Relations group, with a focus on issues shaping and affecting the professional services industry today and in the future. You will assist in executing Deloitte’s legislative strategy by cultivating and tracking relationships, researching issues, and monitoring the legislative agenda. You will develop written products, such as research on legislative and regulatory issues, policy briefs, reports on congressional hearings and trade association meetings, tracking reports on media coverage of the professional services industry. You will also have the opportunity to attend congressional hearings and assist with events hosted by the Policy & Government Relations team.

How You’ll Grow
Throughout the internship program, we want to give you a true taste of life at Deloitte. That means a lot of support - both formal and informal - right from the start. Guided by coaches and mentors who can help you to learn more about Deloitte and your opportunities, you'll gain real-world experience working on meaningful projects. Beyond this exposure to “real life” projects, the program also delivers a variety of national and local learning and networking events. Our regularly scheduled learning and networking opportunities are designed to help you develop technical and leadership skills and help you begin building your professional network.

Qualifications
• Candidate for a bachelor’s or master’s degree in political science, public policy/administration or a similar, relevant field of study
• Strong academic track record (minimum 3.4 GPA)
• Excellent written, oral and interpersonal communication skills
• Experience working with Power Point
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team in a fast-paced environment
• Action-oriented and ability to manage and meet deadlines
• Familiarity with social media tools
• Strong understanding of political and/or policy environment and/or past experience working on Capitol Hill or in another government affairs-related role a plus

The Team
Our Policy & Government Relations team works to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with key stakeholders in the policy, legislative and regulatory communities. Our team members work collaboratively to anticipate issues with the potential to impact our firm and to engage how and when appropriate in order to protect and advance our business interests.

Deloitte’s Culture
We take pride in our culture and celebrate individuals by recognizing their uniqueness.  As a commitment to our people, we offer well-being programs and provide our professionals opportunities for support and flexibility to make daily choices that can help them to be healthy, centered, confident, and aware.  This supportive culture helps enable our people to do their best work every day.

Corporate Citizenship
Deloitte is led by a purpose: to make an impact that matters. This purpose defines who we are and extends to relationships with our clients, our people and our communities.  We drive impact through our signature national programs: education and veterans, and through pro bono and other key programs such as board service opportunities and Impact Day.  .

Recruiter Tips
At Deloitte, we want our potential candidates to feel prepared and confident. To help you with your interview, we suggest that you do your research: know some background about the company and the business area you’re applying to. We also suggest that you brush up on your interviewing skills and practice discussing your experience and job history with a family member, friend, or mentor.  .
