MBA Intern, Commercial Strategy

About the Role

House of ROI is seeking an MBA Intern for the Spring 2027 term to work directly with the principal on client strategy and the commercial side of the practice. This is a working seat, not a rotation.

Key Responsibilities

• Build financial models for client growth plans: revenue forecasts, unit economics, payback, and scenario and sensitivity analysis
• Evaluate media investment cases: market and channel sizing, budget allocation, and capital-efficiency trade-offs
• Run competitive and market research covering positioning, pricing, and market structure
• Support new business: diagnostics, pricing scenarios, and proposal drafts
• Write strategy memos and executive summaries that lead with the recommendation and show the math behind it
• Contribute research, data points, and first drafts to the practice’s thought leadership, reviewed before anything is published
• Put AI tools to work in research, modeling, and drafting, and verify before trusting

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Financial modeling in Excel or Sheets
• Structured business writing: you lead with the answer and defend it
• Commercial judgment: you can tell a good idea from a profitable one
• Executive-grade communication, written and spoken
• AI tools

Qualifications

• Current MBA candidate (full-time, part-time, or online); other graduate business degrees such as an MS in Finance considered
• Meaningful prior professional experience in marketing, finance, consulting, analytics, or growth
• Independent judgment: you do not accept “best practice” as an argument, and you bring a position to the table
• Rigor: A model that doesn’t reconcile is a hypothesis with formatting
• Self-directed: You scope your own work, flag your own risks, and don’t need managing
• Authorized to work in the US

Terms:

• Remote, anywhere in the US
• $28-$40 per hour, set by experience and schedule
• Part-time or full-time, with start date and schedule agreed with the selected candidate
