**Position Highlights**

  

Legal, Risk and Compliance interns work with Protiviti’s clients, who are typically among the world’s leading companies. As an intern, you collaborate with the team to deliver client solutions for complex business problems these organizations face. Experience suggests that our future leaders need to be both knowledgeable in an area of expertise and versatile with a broad range of capabilities to solve today’s problems. We focus on developing resources across our business so you gain experience in different industries, grow your technical capabilities, and gain leadership qualities that ensure your future success.

  

Our culture emphasizes empowerment, teamwork, and problem-solving. We encourage innovation and value your ideas and insights. Our people care about one another; they coach, guide, and help each team member be their very best.

  

When you join our team, you will participate in Liftoff with Protiviti, our award-winning onboarding live-virtual experience with gamification embedded in the delivery. You will also attend The Intern Challenge, an experiential learning course that helps you transition successfully into your role as an intern.

  

Protiviti’s internship is an innovative experience designed to immerse you in our unique business and culture.

During the internship, you will get a preview of Foundations, Protiviti’s entry-level full-time career opportunity, which provides experiences and learning opportunities in business operations, consulting, data, relationship building, technology, and innovation.

  

With each project, you receive hands-on training in a nurturing environment and interact with leaders across our practice. Talent Managers will assign specific project experiences that support career growth, your skills, and the needs of the business. A network of advisors will help you navigate challenges and celebrate milestones. There are opportunities to join committees, participate in employee network groups, and engage in social, civic, and networking activities to build meaningful relationships across the firm and in the community.

  

Legal, Risk and Compliance interns develop knowledge in core business processes within the financial services, technology, and healthcare industries. Interns will work within internal control and risk frameworks, as well as regulator and compliance methodologies.

  

Interns will help develop key deliverables, including process flows, work programs, reports, and control summaries.
