Our two different intern opportunities in our qualitative team

If Ipsos sounds interesting to you, you can apply for an internship as either a Research Intern or a Business Design Intern for our qualitative team. Please let us know your preference at the top of your application.

Research Intern - As a research intern you will gain practical experience with:

• Conducting fieldwork such as interviews, observations, and note-taking in connection with focus groups
• Assisting in the qualitative analysis and preparation of insights and recommendations to the client
• Participating in the preparation of client-oriented reports, presentations, and reporting of qualitative data

Typically, you will work in a team of three on a given project, consisting of you, a consultant, and a project manager. You will have your own independent tasks and will therefore play an important role in the execution of each project.

As a research intern you will succeed in the job if...

• You are passionate about understanding other people's behaviour and motives through your analytical skills
• You can work independently and take ownership of qualitative projects and tasks
• You are service-minded and understand what it takes to deliver the best and most insightful deliveries to our customers
• You are proficient and comfortable working in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint

It is a plus you are studying a business-oriented program with a strong methodological background or similar, which has given you knowledge of market analysis and has solid methodological competencies. Ideally, you are an anthropologist, sociologist, or perhaps something completely different, and you are passionate about solving and driving qualitative analysis tasks.

Business Designer Intern

By embedding a business designer within our team, we're not just adding another role, we're injecting a creative powerhouse who can elevate our projects to new heights.

As a Business Designer Intern, you will succeed in the job if...

• You possess a creative mindset, enabling you to deliver strong creative messages and content creation through visualization. 
• You bring our projects to life with awesome illustrations that spark creativity and add visual flair through visualization programs such as InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator
• You possess video editing skills, which enable you to contribute to client presentations
• You are proficient and comfortable working in PowerPoint, as we create many of our reports and proposal through PowerPoint. 

We will offer for both internships 

Enjoy a hybrid work model combining in-office and remote flexibility. Benefit from professional development through our Ipsos Academy, and engage in diverse social activities within our Energy program – you will have access to it all, and…:

• Effective onboarding incl. an assigned Buddy who will support your development
• A blended learning approach with emphasis on learning-on-the-job supported by tailored training sessions, webinars, and a being part of a feedback culture
• Access to Cutting-edge AI Tools: You will gain hands-on experience with our bespoke AI tools and industry-leading solutions to enhance your analytical and decision-making skills
