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.

Responsibilities

• Develop structured thinking and digital problem-solving skills.
• Dig into industries, customer behaviors, and digital trends through research, while also identifying user needs and mapping workflows to improve how AI tools serve internal and external users.
• Use AI as a working tool — not just a topic of conversation. Active use of MAIA and other AI tools to improve the quality and speed of your work.
• Communicate clearly and tell compelling stories. Turn research and data into persuasive deliverables — decks, frameworks, and presentations — learning to frame the "so what" and connect digital capabilities to business outcomes.
• Own your work and collaborate across disciplines. Manage tasks with increasing independence, prioritize deadlines, and deliver high-quality outputs on time.
• Contribute to firm growth and culture — supporting business development, participating in internal initiatives, and documenting learnings that help the team work more efficiently.
• Learnt fast, grow early, and lead with a point of view. Direct exposure to senior teammates and clients, with mentorship and regular feedback to build confidence and sharpen your perspective.

Requirements

• A strong academic foundation: You should have a BA or BS degree in a relevant field (e.g., business or economics, computer science) with demonstrated academic performance and at least 1 year of professional experience.
• Structured critical thinking and creative problem solving: You can break down a problem, ask the right questions, and contribute to solutions — even in unfamiliar domains.
• Clear, confident communication: Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to structure ideas and adapt your message to different audiences.
• Hands-on comfort with AI and digital tools: You've experimented with AI assistants, generative AI, or digital design/analytics platforms. Familiarity with prompt engineering, no-code/low-code platforms, or data analysis tools is a strong differentiator.
• Knowledge of, and passion for, digital strategy and transformation: You follow how technology, AI, and digital experiences are reshaping industries and business models — and you can form an opinion about where things are headed.
• A builder's mindset: You're energized by creating things — frameworks, prototypes, research syntheses, or internal tools — and you document and share what you learn.
• Curiosity and adaptability: An unrelenting commitment to get to the answer, test new approaches, and push assumptions — paired with comfort in ambiguity and the ability to flex when circumstances shift.
