Location: Remote or Hybrid (London office)
Salary: £23,796 per year (pro rata), paid monthly
Experience: No experience required
Degree needed: 2:1 or first-class honours

Who we are
Are you a high performer who wants to learn more about data, software and digital projects? Are you looking for a paid internship with a value-driven company focused on international development, climate change and poverty reduction? This is your chance to work with a small and fast-paced team working to make the world a better place through their digital systems and data management and analysis services.
What we're looking for
We are looking for a quick-thinking, organised, insightful and analytical intern to join our consulting team. As an ethical organisation, Scriptoria does not believe in unpaid labour, so this position is a paid role with the real opportunity to turn into a full-time job for the right candidate. You won’t be doing coffee runs or endless photocopying, you will be a pivotal part of the team making a serious contribution to the work we do.
You will have at least a 2:1 or first-class honours degree and your English language, writing and communications skills will be excellent. An interest in sustainable development with the desire to create a positive change in the world is essential. A science-related degree could be beneficial, and a Master’s degree is an advantage but not essential.
Your role as an Intern in our Consulting Team
As a member of the consulting team (after sufficient training) you will be given the opportunity to work on some of Scriptoria’s exciting international consulting projects alongside senior team members. The work will be varied and will involve working closely with our team of developers to conceptualise and design our specialist project-management software for international development and research organisations. You will therefore have excellent communication skills to translate the needs of the clients into actionable instructions for the data team. As an individual, you need to see data science and technology as tools for problem solving and enjoy the analytical and “detective” work involved in applying them.
