Intern, Health - Brand

If you are interested in making health YOUR business, Edelman Canada wants to hear from you. Edelman Toronto is currently searching for a dynamic and talented Public Relations graduate to join our Toronto office in a paid Internship position, working within our Health Sector.

Edelman Canada’s award-winning Health practice continues to experience unprecedented growth, reflective of not only our kind and talented team who has a passion for wellness and making a difference, but also the strength of Edelman’s areas of expertise – including creative, social, paid media and research – to help clients evolve, promote, and protect their brands in the market. By focusing on nurturing talent, collaboration, innovation, and establishing a culture of creativity, Edelman delivers best-in-class work to our clients in today’s complex landscape.

Edelman’s paid internship program is designed to introduce university or college graduates to the business of communications marketing and to offer an opportunity to be involved in daily account activities, while learning broader strategies. You will actively support several client teams in a variety of areas – whether that’s patient associations, NGOs, ministries of health, hospitals, life sciences organizations, fitness providers and wellness associations, tech firms, biopharmaceutical giants or emerging biotechs.

A Day in the Life:Responsibilities– As a Health Intern, when you’re an intern on the Health team at Edelman, you aren’t just running to get (virtual) coffees or setting up Teams meetings. You’re brought in as a key member of the practice where you get to share ideas, work with clients, and collaborate on programs that engage Canadians on health — their own and that of those around them — to ultimately improve outcomes.

You will acquire hands-on experience in areas such as earned media relations, media material development, video production, strategy sessions, and new business research, while learning from teams across the network in creative, paid marketing, and data and intelligence. As one recent intern on our team commented: “Edelman is a hub for great thinkers you can learn from and grow alongside.”

As a Health intern, you will be responsible for assisting client teams while learning the business of communications. The emphasis will be on developing the skills and knowledge you need to become an accomplished Account Executive, able to assist in servicing clients. You’re learning from day one and given opportunities to challenge yourself.

A Bit About You: Qualifications – As an entrepreneurial firm, Edelman seeks candidates who are eager to learn about our business and interested in working in a challenging and stimulating environment. We are seeking strategic thinkers with excellent oral and written communication skills, curiosity, and a commitment to quality. Proficiency in Microsoft Word is a must. The internship program is open to recent graduates from university or college public relations programs who are looking to launch their career with an exciting and progressive firm.

Should you be interested in applying for this role, please send your résumé and cover. Only those candidates short listed for an interview will be contacted. Thank you for your interest in working with Edelman Canada.
