Description
About our internship
A Stripe Partners internship offers a unique opportunity to experience the world of consulting and to gain insight into what it takes to create impact within large organisations.
During this internship, you will contribute to insight-driven work with the potential to change how millions of people understand and interact with technology. As a Research intern you can expect to be fully immersed in project work and SP culture.
Our internships are paid, full-time stints that typically run for 4-months. You must have the right to work in the UK without the need for visa sponsorship or renewal, ie. hold a UK or Irish passport, or have indefinite leave to remain in the UK. Although we operate a hybrid model from our London Bridge office, we would like interns to be able to access the office regularly.
