• Rotate within a variety of BBYO departments to learn different areas of the business and build your resume
• How to analyze and track data to drive decision making
• Global thinking as you work with an international team across organizational and geographical boundaries
• Influence and leadership acumen as you inspire others to action

• Ability to travel as needed and to staff a summer leadership program at a location in the U.S. for 2-3 weeks each summer
