Graphic Design Intern

Project Coordinator Summer Intern / Administrative Support - Position Description

Why we love working at PIE:

PIE is the leading business development partner for professional services firms, creating global connections with a distinctly human touch. We provide excellent service for our clients and partners and pride ourselves on delivering the lagniappe (the little extra in a baker's dozen!). The work we do every day is fascinating - we drive meaningful, intimate conversations among leaders in business, non-profits and NGOs looking to solve their most pressing challenges and learn from peers. Our mission is to make the world smaller and smarter by connecting powerful minds.

Our people are the heart of our business and culture. We are an inclusive, employee-owned company. We come from all over the country and across the state of Montana. We are a community of unique individuals and include many lived experiences: from former NFL players and fashion designers to movie producers, Peace Corp volunteers, legislators and professors. We are a team of curious self-starters who love to learn. Our culture of belonging invites all our unique experiences to the table, where we innovate, problem-solve, and share a passion for doing great work while living full lives. We work as a team to support each other's passions and ambitions, both in and out of work. In addition to offering competitive benefits, PIE values and invests in its employees' health and well-being. We are committed to ongoing education, career development, and training. To nourish our culture and build relationships, PIE holds several annual company outings. PIE cares about the communities we live in: we participate in events and programs to strengthen our commitment to inclusivity, engaging in community outreach and volunteering with organizations that support the Gallatin Valley.
