About The Position

Grant Thornton’s Advisory professionals help companies stay ahead of the game with bold thinking, big ideas, and progressive strategies.

Within Growth Advisory, we have three specific areas on which we advise: Commercial & Growth – We help our clients realize organic and inorganic growth by identifying where to make strategic bets in core, adjacent, and transformational opportunities, and improving ROI on marketing and sales investments by converting customer needs into desired experiences and outcomes. Talent & Culture – We empower our client’s growth and transformation through alignment of their organizational structure, service delivery model, change management capabilities, and employee experience. The intern position offers excellent growth opportunities for talented, highly motivated individuals. As an intern, you will partner with client-focused teams to uncover key insights, reimagine business models, and define strategies that result in clear outcomes. You will work with teams and clients on a day-to-day basis to conduct research and analyze client, competitor, and industry data.
