What you'll do

As an Intern at SparkOptimus, you will get the chance to make an impact every day – no two days are the same.

SparkOptimus has a coaching and learning culture. We support your development through on-the-job coaching and training programs that address the challenges you will encounter as a Associate Intern, e.g., consultancy skills, interpersonal skills, and functional expertise. You will be amazed by how much you will learn in a short amount of time.
