WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for interns who are interested in learning more about strategy, digital marketing, account management or design. A Step Change internship will teach you more in three months than Uni teaches in three years. Work with the strategy, digital, creative or client success team on live client projects and gain real experience.

WHO WE ARE

Step Change exists to inspire Step Changes in businesses and people. We work with challenger businesses with big ambitions, helping them make their next Step Change. We care about creating true Step Change results.

We are a fast-growing strategically led agency – covering strategy, marketing, digital, creative and culture – creating the magic that happens when the worlds of strategy and creativity collide.

We work with over 100 brands each year, from Big Four banks to funeral homes. We’re facilitators and problem-solvers who believe the best solutions in business start with the customer. To do this, we draw on tools from strategy, marketing, consumer behaviour, and behavioural economics (among others).

As a business, we are now working with larger clients, on much larger long-term and integrated scopes of work. Our clients are ambitious, out to play big games and change the world.

WHAT WE’RE OFFERING

We have a three-month, unpaid, internship available for students in their final year of study. It’s okay if your area of study isn’t business, digital, creative or marketing —here we have lawyers, economists, journalists and engineers. What’s more important is your interest in learning, the challenge of thinking on your feet and thinking creatively.

The internship is unpaid for three days a week over three months though it’s worth noting almost half our current staff came through this program, with us building a full-time job for the best.

We’re happy to give letters of reference for those wanting to use their internship for a university course.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

Don’t worry, we’re not interested in having someone around just to get coffees. Your role will be to learn our tools, then work closely with our strategy team to deploy them. As a small business, you’ll also get the chance to be involved with sales, event management and the creative team so you’ll come out with a really broad view of how the industry works.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

The only thing you’ll need to bring with you is the right attitude. As a small team, we all have to jump in to lend a hand where needed, even if that’s outside our comfort zone. So be confident, be interested, and be willing to work hard – but leave any ego at home.

We will cover any expenses incurred while working.

Please note: We require a letter of acknowledgement from your university that either state that you are undertaking the internship as part of a university course, or that the university acknowledges that the internship would be of benefit to your degree.
