What You can Expect from Us
• Fun – we function in a fast-paced work environment that will definitely be dynamic (we will absolutely keep you on your toes)
• Challenges and opportunities – we want you to try new things and stretch your existing skills while developing new ones. You will be given plenty of opportunity to do all of it
• Pizza – we eat a lot of pizza ?
• Cool people – the Communications team is not just in NY; we are in Israel and Germany as well. You will meet all of us!
• Interviewing a Holocaust survivor – we all have the privilege of speaking with Holocaust survivors on a near-daily basis. You too will have the opportunity to interview a survivor and write an internal newsletter that will be sent out from our Executive Vice President
• Surprises – we often surprise ourselves. Communications work requires a lot of last-minute responses to day-to-day happenings. Because the Claims Conference is a global operation, this means addressing things happening in other parts of the world, not just in New York or the U.S.
• Our annual Communications Brainstorming Session – being here over the summer means participating in the annual brainstorming session where the entire global team will present ideas to each other for campaigns, events, initiatives and collaborations that will choose from to create our annual editorial calendar for the 2025 – 2026 year. And yes, there will be pizza.
• Support and growth – we will help you develop new skills, elevate your existing skills and help you grow professionally in any way we can. The goal is to make sure you come away from this internship with a new confidence that you can apply to any job you take moving forward.
