OVERVIEW:
Fractured Atlas is seeking Fall/Winter interns to help produce
business plans for several of our programs and technology initiatives.
Interns will work in teams and be assigned to a single program or
initiative (e.g. open-source software, cultural asset mapping,

development functional specification documents including financial
projections, marketing strategies, growth targets, and service

interviewing skills, a knack for researching, the ability to make
connections between seemingly unrelated things, and a talent for
breaking complex concepts into easy-to-understand language.

The position also requires a high degree of professionalism and poise,
as interns will be interviewing high-level “movers-and-shakers” in the
cultural and technology sector.

QUALIFICATIONS:
* Bachelors Degree required, Masters Degree work or equivalent
preferred.
* First-hand experience working in any artistic discipline and
technology is strongly preferred.
* The successful candidate will demonstrate the following attributes:

** Excellent verbal and written communication skills,
** A strong attention to detail,
** Well organized,
** High degree of professionalism,
** The ability to truly listen and ask thoughtful questions.
* Proficiency with Word, Excel, and experience with web-based software
required. Previous experience with sophisticated information
technology systems and arts administration is a plus.
