POSITION SUMMARY

United Way Worldwide is seeking a brand strategy intern to support the Global Brand team. As a global nonprofit, United Way is a leader in serving communities so that all can thrive. In 2024, United Way launched a brand refresh, reintroducing itself and re-establishing its relevance and sustainability for the next century of service. The brand strategy intern will work on projects that continue to support this effort, specifically focusing on projects that support brand building and creating cohesion throughout the United Way network.

The Global Brand Team works closely with other members of United Way Worldwide (UWW) as well as local chapters across the global network. As a small and nimble team within the marketing & communications department, the brand team excels in strategic thinking, wearing multiple hats, being detail-oriented, and building strong relationships. The ideal candidate should be flexible, organized and work well in a highly collaborative environment.

The brand strategy intern can expect to further their knowledge of the skills needed to manage a large, complex global brand. The intern will also be pivotal in supporting governance projects, helping to ensure brand compliance among a large global network and supporting stewardship efforts to further support and engage the network. Finally, the brand intern will continue to refine their research and presentation skills, assisting in creating decks for upcoming presentations and conferences, as well as giving presentations of their own projects to the department and other key stakeholders.
