“Whenever possible, say yes” - Eric Schmidt

The Office of Eric Schmidt aims to support Eric Schmidt in his personal and professional endeavors, advance the mission of his philanthropic and for-profit entities, and drive forward his initiatives. The Office of Eric Schmidt encompasses: 1) a personal administrative and research team (EST), 2) a political team (OneOne), 3) a technology team (Technical Projects Group), 4) an event management team for Eric’s personal and professional events (Community), and 5) his personal communications team.

The Community Team designs and executes best-in-class convenings across Schmidt Entities. We are looking for an intern to join the Community Team from September 8 - December 21 (with the possibility to extend) who is eager to learn about the planning and execution of a wide range of convenings for various programs and initiatives across our organizations.

This is an in-person position, based in our Crystal City, VA office. Interns are expected to work primarily from their assigned office during regular business hours, collaborating closely with team members on-site to support events and internal operations.

This internship offers hands-on experience in the operations, strategy, logistics, and creative production of convenings, while also providing opportunities for professional development, relationship-building, and cross-office collaboration. Interns will work part-time, with occasional travel for cross-office experiences and event support. Each intern will own a defined project aligned with the Community Team’s priorities and will present their work during an end-of-summer showcase.
