The Company You’ll Join: Founded in 2016 to bring rigorous research and analytics to early careers and recruiting leaders, Veris Insights has grown to serve thousands of Heads of Talent, Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, and Early Careers from over 300 Fortune 500 organizations. Our team of 80+, including researchers, consultants, PhDs, analysts, and executive service directors, work daily to help members understand, deliberate, and solve their hardest challenges. The Team You’ll Join: You will join the Entry Talent Accelerator Program (ETA), a high-performance early-career development program designed for ambitious individuals looking to accelerate their growth in client-facing and revenue-generating environments. This role is a full-time position beginning in Summer 2027 for graduating seniors.

Data Interpretation & Insight Delivery: Learn how to quickly interpret research and data to support real-time, insight-driven advisory conversations. The program is designed to build the foundational skills of a working professional and prepare participants for client-facing and revenue-generating roles across the firm. Progression through the program is based on individual performance against defined milestones, and placement afterward is based on business need at the time. Your Character: Incisiveness.
