Junior Program Analyst - Intern

TITLE: Junior Program Analyst - Intern

DEPARTMENT: Product Engineering

REPORTS TO: Director, Product Organization Governance

LOCATION: London, UK

DURATION: 19th of June - 18th of August

Overview

This position is situated within our Product Governance Organization.

Product Governance Organization within IPC refers to the active oversight of a product's ongoing growth strategy, compliance, risk management and products delivery.

A successful candidate in this role should have a growth mindset, a self-starter and willing to learn and adapt industry wide solutions towards data mining and data governance. In day to day responsibilities, we expect you to use data analytics tools and data representation, to business leaders and come up with ideas to work smarter, reduce churn and articulate results.

The IPC Global Summer Internship Program runs annually as a nine-week program. We offer a paid internship and target both Technical and Liberal Arts Universities. Our program ran successfully in a remote capacity during the 2020 and 2021 summers; the program will run on a hybrid schedule this summer (at least 2 days per week in the office) and will provide valuable in-office experience.

Based on business need and long-term talent strategy, interns are aligned to specific roles based on their skills and background. The program curriculum encompasses both on-the-job learning in technical functions as well as soft-skills training; geared to leverage success in future career paths and to create a pipeline of future IPC talent.

Internship Program Goals:

• Master technical skills; this varies by position
• Perfect interpersonal skills (soft skills)
• Build a network of professional contacts
• Apply skills acquired through classroom learning to tangible hands-on projects
• Explore professional interests
• Experience company culture and exposure to a corporate environment

Sample Summer 2023 Program Events:

• Social Events
• Senior Leadership Roundtable Sessions (Hosted by IPC's Global Senior Leaders representing varying functions)
• Former Intern Panel (hosted by former IPC summer interns who are now full-time employees)
• Soft-Skills Workshop

Succession Planning from our Global Internship Program:

Open lines of communication during the program is key. At the half-way mark of our internship program we solicit the managers for insight into how their intern has acclimated thus far from both a project and technical stand-point as well as from an overall IPC culture fit. At this point, we socialize with each manager the idea of their intern either staying on board an additional few weeks after the formal program end date and/or continuing to work in a part-time internship capacity during the school year. A determination on extending the internship is based on several factors including business need, department approvals, and schedule coordination.

Our hope is that by maintaining good rapport and communication with our interns, many will make up our future junior talent at IPC as part of our Emerging Talent Program. The benefits of hiring our previous interns into full time positions are invaluable: It encourages cultural fit, reduces turnover, and ensures we are hiring quality talent.
