The VERSANT summer internship digital analytics and communications posting is full time, 40 hours a week, June 7 to August 13, 2027, in New York City and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

One rule decides everything else: you must already be authorized to work for any US employer, and VERSANT will not sponsor a work visa, now or in the future.

The work authorization rule — read this first
VERSANT requires every intern to be authorized to work for any US employer, with no work visa sponsorship now or in the future. Students on F-1 CPT, F-1 OPT, J-1, or M-1 visas are generally not eligible unless they can switch to a status giving work authorization without VERSANT’s sponsorship. The company is E-Verify: every intern needs an active Social Security number, and hires must complete the I-9 form with it within 3 days of hire.
Who can apply
Beyond the authorization rule, the requirements are simple:
- Enrolled in a degree-granting program for the whole program, or graduating in Spring 2027. 2026 or earlier graduates are not eligible.
- Sophomore standing or above (30 credits); junior or above preferred.
- Available 40 hours a week, June 7 to August 13, 2027, and willing to work on-site in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
Preferred: a GPA of 3.0 or above, strong media-industry interest, and previous internship or on-campus experience. Be honest: if you need visa sponsorship or cannot work on-site full time, skip this one.
What you will actually do
Interns in VERSANT’s corporate finance, analytics, and corporate communications teams get what the posting calls a front-row seat to how a modern media company runs — supporting financial strategy and data-driven decisions across brands like CNBC, Fandango, and USA Network.
The work is real: projects across corporate, sports, and operations and technology teams — analyzing data, shaping workforce initiatives, helping teams make faster decisions. With Corporate Communications among the placement areas, expect a mix of analytics and communications work.
What the pay means in real life
At $19.00 an hour for 40 hours a week, one full week earns $760 before tax — roughly $7,300 over the just-under-ten-week program.
Paid media internships at this level are competitive — compare the Gemini software engineering internship in New York for winter 2027. Apply early and take the application seriously.
How to apply
- Prepare a one-page resume with your experience, skills, accomplishments, and expected graduation month and year.
- Optionally, write a short letter to the hiring team: your interest in VERSANT, the locations you are open to, and your areas of interest.
- Have a current transcript ready (unofficial is accepted) to confirm enrollment.
- Submit through the official posting before November 16. Hiring is rolling and may close once capacity is reached — earlier is better.
Tips that fit this specific internship
- Put the required details on your resume. The posting asks for your expected graduation month and year on the resume — applicants get filtered for forgetting exactly this.
- Show media interest concretely. Campus media, a data project on streaming or sports, or communications coursework beats vague claims of passion. For the communications side, see how media organizations describe their roles — for example, this Mellon Foundation social media manager role in New York — and describe your experience in similar terms.
- Use the optional letter. A short, specific letter — why VERSANT’s brands, why analytics and communications, which locations you are open to — helps you stand out when early applications get the closest read.
What happens after you apply
You may hear back well before November 16 — or find positions filled before it. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to an in-person interview at a VERSANT location; if hired, complete the I-9 form with your Social Security number within 3 days of hire, then expect onboarding and mentorship.
