Economic Consulting Graduate Intern – Advisory Services

OSTTRA • Washington DC, DC

12h • Hybrid

About The Position

S&P Global Market Intelligence is seeking highly motivated graduate students to join the Advisory Services team as Economic Consulting Interns. This internship provides an opportunity to work at the intersection of economic research, policy analysis, and consulting. Interns will support project teams across a range of economic consulting engagements, including macroeconomic analysis, policy impact assessments, sector studies, economic modeling, and strategic advisory work for public- and private-sector clients. The Global Insight (GI) group, within S&P Global’s Market Intelligence division, supports clients across all government and private sectors with data and research on macroeconomics, markets, trade, supply chains, geopolitics, and operational risk. GI’s services consist of subscriptions to data/analysis products and consulting. This role is in the consulting team. The team designs and delivers custom analytical solutions for client requirements that are not met by subscription products. These custom solutions typically integrate datasets, deploy specialized models, and/or develop new approaches to deliver unique insights to support clients in their strategic decisions. Whereas most major consultancies rely on large teams to provide value, our team is fortunate to draw on an unparalleled breadth of data, research, expertise, and models to solve client problems, and support planning and decision-making. These proprietary assets are the result of decades of development and proven value.
