Advisory Intern, Federal Program Delivery | McLean Summer 2027
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to extract content. Posting includes: - Intro paragraph about KPMG (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role. The posting says: "KPMG is currently seeking an Advisory Intern for our Advisory practice." Then responsibilities list. We can treat "About the role" as the introductory paragraph before responsibilities: "At KPMG, we are not only keeping pace with the future of business; we are defining it. Harnessing the full power of AI and digital innovation, we deliver intelligent, data-driven solutions to help our clients navigate change and transform their competitive edge. Our people-first approach makes this possible. KPMG invests in continuous learning by providing the tools and training for you to thrive within a culture that fosters growth and collaboration, whether you're launching your career or bringing decades of experience. Join an inclusive team that inspires excellence, delivers meaningful impact, and empowers you to shape your own future. KPMG is currently seeking an Advisory Intern for our Advisory practice." That is substantive. Responsibilities: list bullet points after "Responsibilities". We'll extract each line. Responsibilities list: - Support delivery and development of advisory services to clients, primarily with services related to projects, programs or portfolio management - Support development and maintenance of program/project charters, schedules, management plans, risk management and supporting artifacts - Support regular reporting and communication to client and KPMG leadership and adhere to quality and performance standards set by team leadership - Support teams to conceptualize and determine communications and training strategies that support their goals and objectives - Support the development of communications and training products that support transformation goals/objectives and adoption of new technologies and/or processes - Develop content for and design PowerPoint decks, fact sheets, roadmaps, status reports Qualifications: after "Qualifications". Contains multiple bullet-like sentences. Qualifications list: - Must be enrolled in an accredited college or university and pursuing the following degrees/majors: Bachelors or Masters degree in Business Administration, Communications, Marketing, Public Policy, Organizational Psychology, Operations, Management, Information Systems, Strategy, Political Science, Government, Human Factors/Human Centered Design, or equivalent program - Must have a current/most recent GPA of 3.0 or above - Applicant must be eligible for or possess a U.S. Government Security clearance - Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills; demonstrated ability to excel and drive strategic outcomes, coupled with a professional demeanor and a collaborative leadership approach, in a dynamic, evolving environment - Ability to leverage common business technologies, including MS Office (with an emphasis on Excel) and AI, and quickly learn KPMG tools and applications used by our clients - Strong communication, organization and relationship-building skills, with the ability to apply professional judgment and skepticism, manage priorities across multiple tasks and deliver high-quality work in a professional services capacity - Must reside within a commutable distance of the office for this position and be responsible for your own transportation, such as personal vehicle or public transportation, to get to and from office / client locations to satisfactorily fulfill your job duties, as determined by your practice leadership - Work location may be in the office, at client sites, or virtual/remote depending on business need; you must be located within the U.S. when working remotely - Client site locations may require travel and overnight/extended stay - Applicant must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future - KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa) We also have benefits and pay info: "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday. Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work." Also: "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." Also link for salary ranges: "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=UTAADVIC1_8_24" Thus we have Pay info: they provide a link to salary ranges but not explicit numbers. According to rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It states they offer comprehensive compensation and benefits package and provides a link to salary ranges. Is that considered stating them? It says "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA". That is providing a way to get salary ranges, but not explicit numbers. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state they offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package and provides a link for salary ranges. That is stating that salary ranges exist via link. I'd argue we can include a Pay section with that link and statement. However we must not invent details. We can include a
that says "See the link for salary ranges by city: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=UTAADVIC1_8_24". That is preserving info. Benefits: we have substantive description. So include Benefits section. Schedule: they mention "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday." That's about time off, not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time/part-time. Could we create Schedule section? The rule: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state standard work hours explicitly. It mentions standard work hours in context of PTO but not given. Might be considered not specific enough. Safer to omit Schedule section. We also have "Work location may be in the office, at client sites, or virtual/remote depending on business need; you must be located within the U.S. when working remotely". That could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications? It's more about work location. Could be part of Qualifications (maybe under "Must reside within a commutable distance..."). Already included. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Remove those. We must not include navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, etc. So we will strip the EEO paragraph, the "No phone calls or agencies please", "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis", etc. Also remove the Los Angeles County applicants paragraph (that's specific legal). Also remove the "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. The Los Angeles County paragraph includes some info about criminal history and Fair Chance Act. That is substantive? It's a legal statement about hiring. Might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to location and mentions criminal history. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is legal boilerplate (Fair Chance Act). Likely to be removed. So we drop that. Also remove "KPMG LLP and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges." That's legal but also part of pay transparency. Might be considered boilerplate but it's about salary ranges. However we already have pay section with link. The sentence about complying with regulations is boilerplate; we can drop it. Also remove "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." (we already have benefits). Might be duplicate. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's craft sections:
