About Reingold

Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we’ve been driven by a simple mission: to help organizations –– whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector –– as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.

That's where you come in. As a compliance intern, you will work alongside our Vice President of Compliance to help grow Reingold’s compliance department. You’ll play a key role in helping to decide how the firm identifies risk, sets priorities, manages its contracts, and meets its obligations across federal, state, and commercial work.

You’ll take ownership of real projects with real outcomes. You’ll play a central role in how Reingold manages its diverse contract portfolio in partnership with our finance, legal, and program management teams. You’ll help to set up new engagements, track renewals and modifications, and maintain an accurate record for a large volume of contracts. You’ll also build the process for Reingold’s first in-house ISO 9001 internal audit, and design tools and resources that employees across the firm will rely on. Your research and recommendations will directly inform how Reingold responds to evolving laws, regulations, and contract requirements, and you’ll gain hands-on experience in contract administration and government contracting.

This role is a great fit for someone interested in compliance, law, government contracting, risk management, and business operations. It suits someone who enjoys solving problems and bringing structure to ambiguity, and who wants to see the impact of their work.
