Community & Communications Intern

Our team of over 2000 technologists work at the cutting edge of research, science, and technology to help researchers and healthcare professionals’ advance science and improve outcomes for the benefit of society.

Working in small, agile squads, we use the latest technologies, data science and analytics to shape insights that support our customers to create world-class innovation. Today our technologists draw on their knowledge and expertise to put us at the front line of positive change. From everyday improvements to world-changing technological innovations, your work makes a difference, and you’ll see real-world impact of your day-to-day efforts. Our technology team:

• enables the scientific community to build on each other’s research and validate their thinking to make the discoveries that we all take for granted. Without us, the Covid-19 vaccine wouldn’t have reached the medical community when it did
• Allows the healthcare professionals of tomorrow to study in detail, in ways they’ve never been able to before, both the male and female human anatomies. Without it, females would continue to be more regularly misdiagnosed because existing teaching has always been based on the male human form.
• gives today’s doctors and nurses instant access to information that they use to save lives, every day, around the world. Without it, patients would have to see specialists or have their symptoms missed to the detriment of their health.

People are the heart of our business, and we’re lucky enough to work with smart, committed people with a real diversity of backgrounds and experiences. We’re proud to be building an environment where people can thrive by being themselves.

Your skills will help us to find solutions to problems that people don’t even know they have. Whether you’re supporting the business to be more efficient, building better infrastructure to help things run more smoothly or if you’re part of a team creating products for the customers we serve, there’s always a new challenge you’ll be helping to solve. We deliver technology with purpose.
