The Marketing team is looking for a Market Intelligence Intern. This intern will support our Chief Economist and the Product Marketing Team on data driven projects and assist in generating content about CBDC, digital assets, payments, trade and technical blockchain concepts.
The perfect candidate for this position is both data and research-driven, and is also able to communicate effectively in written content. The Product Marketing Team generates content around CBDC, digital assets, payments, trade and technical blockchain concepts.

This year, the market intelligence intern will focus primarily on the rapidly evolving digital assets landscape, researching and creating content that positions R3 as a thought leader in the space.
Responsibilities:
- Ownership of analytical assignments that contribute to R3’s broader research agenda
- Presenting to internal stakeholders on industry developments and R3’s market positioning
- Assist in content development: writing blogs, articles, whitepapers, case studies, and more for a number of strategic campaigns
- Assist with product launches where necessary
- Project management of thought leadership campaigns
- Feedback on thought leadership published by R3
- Industry landscaping
