Culture & Employee Experience Intern
Do you light up when people feel seen, celebrated, and supported? Are you the kind of person who believes culture isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the heartbeat of an organization? If you geek out over employee experience, team connection, and creating moments that matter, this might be your perfect summer internship.
We are looking for a people-loving, detail-oriented, creativity-meets-strategy kind of intern to join us in re-imagining the employee experience at DKP. As an employee-owned company, we want every single employee owner to feel valued—and we need your help bringing that vision to life.
