"I loved the entrepreneurial freedom. I got to host global updates, conduct consumer research, and build a social media strategy to improve organic performance."

About the program

Who's this program for

If jet lag, long hours, and steep challenges put you off, look elsewhere. If you thrive on problem solving, want to surround yourself with remarkable people, and are ready to move the business forward—this program may be just what you’re looking for.

Your 360 experience

It’s as much a mission as it is a job. Working closely with a senior EF leader who will mentor, challenge, and support you, you could be asked to produce a viral marketing campaign, utilize AI to solve an operational inefficiency, or redesign sales processes to get better leads. No assignment is too big or small. You will be offered 2-3 rotations to a different office throughout the program.

Your career path

Once you become truly 360 (to us, that means fully versed in EF’s entrepreneurial operating style), you can earn a position within the organization where your talents and skills match critical business needs. Positions range from Project Manager in Boston, to Business Analyst in Zurich, Regional Sales Manager in Taiwan, and anything and anywhere in between.

"There is true respect both for the people who have ideas, as well as those who bring them to life. As a result, everyone here wants to be here and we're empowered to do the best work of our career."

Matthew, President, Signum & EF 360 Mentor
