Consultant – Internship Program 2025

84.51°

Consultant – Intern Program

Location Option(s): Cincinnati, OH
Program Duration: May 27, 2025 – August 1, 2025

This program requires you to be in the office 40 hours a week; there are no remote options.

SUMMARY: 

Consultants at 84.51° make Kroger customers’ lives easier by being their champion and amplifying their voice.  By uncovering data-based insights, 84.51° Consultants keep the customer at the center of all they do - identifying problems, developing solutions, influencing action, and evaluating the impact on customers.  84.51° Consultants build relationships with stakeholders at Kroger, with Kroger’s supplier partners, and internally at 84.51° in order to influence data-driven business decisions, marketing, and media strategies.

The Consultant Internship is a 10-week, full-time paid position that allows you to gain experience while learning about 84.51°— what we do and how we do it.  You will work collaboratively with experienced 84.51° employees to complete a challenging, real-time project using shopper data, and you will ultimately provide recommendations to influence how to move forward.  You will build strong bonds with your fellow Interns and network with the broader 84.51° community.  

INTERN PROGRAM: 

The Intern Program duration is strictly the dates outlined at the top (interns cannot start or end early or late). Consulting roles are open in our Cincinnati, OH Headquarters office. Interns are matched with a manager and mentor to support them during the program. Interns should expect to work in the office Monday-Friday, 40 hours per week, typically between 8am-5pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be communicated by your manager upon starting. Interns should not have conflicts such as classes or other employment during the 84.51° workday.
