Summer Internships at Market Sentinel

We are looking for interns to join us over the summer.

We have had terrific interns in the past: some interns have ended up working for us long term. Others have gone on to companies like Deloitte’s and Google, or banks, and others to write novels. The typical background is a technical degree of some kind, but we have people who totally self-taught and people who have joined us from the third sector. Here are the details:

Market Sentinel provides insights to brands starting from – but not limited to – social media. We use complex maths and very detailed desk research to generate insights which enable our clients to gain and retain competitive advantage. It is a demanding, stimulating workplace where conversations about Justin Bieber, linkfarms or SSRIs are equally likely.

Every summer we take on interns with the following skills:

a) marketing (web-savvy, Twitter-using individuals with a liking for Excel and good PowerPoint skills);

b) product (web-savvy folk with some coding skills and/or experience of building web sites or applications);

c) technical/web development (people with some coding skills, front end or back end – our core languages are Java and Python. Experience of web services, JUnit, Tapestry, Subversion, Maven, Hudson, Perl, Python, AJAX, XML processing, RSS, natural language processing and workflow engines is welcome);

d) analyst (people with stats and analysis skills who have excellent written English and – ideally – at least one other language)

We offer an entry level salary (a bit better than the minimum wage!) upon completion of a short expenses-only work placement trial.
