About The Position

Integrity Risk International, LLC is offering 2026 Summer Internships (June-August). Paid internships ( 40 hours per week/five 8-hour days, Monday-Friday ). In-office position located in Reston, VA (access to Metro Station), with the potential for remote work days on Friday. Individuals with professional/advanced reading fluency in at least one of the following foreign languages will be given high priority for assessment. Desired languages include: Arabic, French, German, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, or Russian.
Our Interns use a wide array of research tools, along with their own research skills, to conduct thorough review of public records and open sources to accurately identify references on subjects of interest. A successful Intern applies analytical skills to determine relevance and importance of all findings, which are compiled in a professionally written, narrative-style report for our clients, who rely on our research and analysis to gain insight into subjects’ background, reputation and status so they can make accurate, key business decisions. Interns will work mostly under the guidance of an Analyst or Senior Analyst but, with proven skills and interest, may be able to handle work on a more independent basis.
NOTE: Interns will receive a company-issued laptop for conducting IntegrityRisk work only.
