Our Internship Opportunities
Are you interested in exploring consulting? At TiER1 Performance we offer paid internships in the spring, summer, and fall semesters. We seek high-performing students who lead with curiosity and enjoy a challenge. We strive to create a diverse, inclusive, and highly collaborative culture where interns can work with their mentor one on one to set their goals and grow! If this sounds like you, please keep reading.
Why a TiER1 internship?
We believe the best way to learn is to work alongside and shadow experienced practitioners—then dig into the work yourself. To hear from prior interns about their experience, check out this 3-minute video.
Here’s How It Works
Who can apply?
TiER1 internships are for incoming juniors, seniors and graduate students who (1) are legally authorized to work in the U.S. indefinitely; (2) can dedicate 36-40 hours per week for the internship; and (3) can work in our Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, or Indianapolis office at least 50% of the time (hybrid).
What's the timeline?
We typically open applications and interview candidates in two cycles: February through May and September through December. If applications are not open, it’s because all internships for that role are currently filled.
