Internal Communication & Engagement Intern

About the Role

We’re building something exciting inside The Economic Times — a dynamic internal engagement program that spans 300+ employees across departments. To bring this to life, we’re looking for an intern who’s equal parts communicator, doer, and live wire — someone who can drive messages, create moments, and be on the ground as the heartbeat of this initiative.

This is not a desk-bound communications role. It's a hands-on, high-energy internship where you’ll help drive internal momentum, spark real-time interactions, and keep the spirit of the organization buzzing every single day.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive Internal Communication
• Craft and send daily / weekly messages across internal channels (WhatsApp, email, posters, etc.) to inform, energize, and unite teams around common goals.
• Own On-Ground Execution
• Be physically present on the floor to conduct engagement activities, run mini-events, coordinate leaderboard displays, ring the celebration bell (literally!), and spark daily excitement.
• Plan Recognition & Motivation Rituals
• Design and roll out recognition formats, shout-outs, surprise awards, and interactive moments that boost morale and visibility.
• Work with Senior Leadership
• Collaborate with business leaders and project owners to translate business milestones into engaging internal storytelling moments.
• Track and Report Engagement
• Maintain records of participation, feedback, and floor energy — and bring creative suggestions based on what’s working.

Who This Role Is For

• Fresh graduates or early-career professionals looking to work at the intersection of communications, events, and business culture
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Energetic, approachable, and full of presence — someone who lights up a room
• Comfortable with fast-paced environments and last-minute execution
• Creative thinker with a high bias for action
• Interest in internal comms, storytelling, live events, or brand culture is a big plus

What You'll Get

• A front-row seat to an internal transformation at one of India’s most iconic media brands
• The opportunity to own and shape how people feel, connect, and engage at work
• Direct access to senior leadership, and the chance to work on a high-visibility initiative
• A paid internship where your ideas and actions genuinely move the needle
