Do you want to help executives navigate disruption at a scale and speed they've never faced before? Are you the kind of person who sees a hard problem and leans in instead of looking away? You're exactly who we're looking for.

Recruiting for this role ends on 3/1/2027.

Is This You?

You're fascinated by the complexity inside organizations: how they're built to perform, how they adapt under pressure, and what it really takes to transform them.

You want to master that terrain, and you're ambitious enough to want to be exceptional at it.

You don't need to have it all figured out, but you care about creating value for organizations, not just how a plan might read on a page.

You're sharp enough to find the signal in messy data.

You're excited about AI, not as a buzzword, but as a tool to deploy in high-stakes situations.

Most of all, you want your work to have immediate impact.

If you want to become the kind of advisor executives trust with their hardest decisions, it starts at Deloitte as a Functional & Operations Strategy Summer Associate.

What You'll Do

Your work will feed the decisions executives can't afford to get wrong.

You'll work independently and collaboratively with a project team, lead workstreams, and communicate recommendations to executives, helping shape agendas that turn bold ambitions into tangible outcomes.

You'll be expected to think, not just execute, bringing a perspective into every conversation.

The questions you'll wrestle with live at the heart of how organizations actually function:


* How should we restructure our workforce as AI reshapes what work means, and how do we bring people through that change without losing momentum?


* How does the CFO build a finance function that's a true strategic partner, not a reporting machine? What operating model gives a business the agility to execute its strategy at scale?


* How should a company rethink its physical footprint and infrastructure in a world that keeps shifting underneath it?


* How do we move beyond automating old processes to reimagining what's possible with agentic AI?

These are the questions our clients bring to us because they trust that no one is more equipped to answer them.

The work spans the full arc of strategic advising: diagnosing where a business function stands, charting where it needs to go, and design...
