*Due to Covid-19 we are currently operating a work-from-home model though we are hopeful that this summer's internships will allow for an in-person or hybrid work arrangement. That said, there is a possibility that this role may begin (& remain) as a remote position, however, in the event that we do transition back to our office this role would report into our NYC location. We understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and we'll work with you to explore possible interim options.
