Deloitte • Mclean, VA • 2h ago

Are you ready to go beyond your potential and reach something greater? At Deloitte, we believe in more than just growth- we believe in exponential possibilities. Here, your unique talents and ambitions are amplified by the power of our collaborative teams, innovative thinking, and mentorship. When you join Deloitte, you don't just build a career- you unlock unlimited opportunities, shaping your future and the world around you. Take the power of you and put it to the power of Deloitte. Reach your exponential !

Recruiting for this role ends on 12/01/2026.

Work You'll Do:

The world's largest industries are being reshaped by AI. Deloitte is building a new generation of AI-first products, and we need "founders-in-training" who think like builders, not consultants.

As an AI Innovation Summer Scholar , you'll ship working proto@types, test product-market fit, and present to Deloitte senior leadership to influence new AI first businesses Deloitte is launching in the market. No slide decks from the sidelines - you build.

Key Responsibilities:

Work in 3-5 person team s to pursue a sector-specific AI product opportunity end-to-end.

Conduct sector and market discovery: analyze industry dynamics, map stakeholders, and pinpoint high-value customer pain points.

Translate insights into a clear problem statement, user personas, and prioritized use cases.

Get hands-on with Deloitte AI platforms and tools to accelerate solution development.

Design and build AI-native proto@types using large language models (LLMs), agentic frameworks, and multimodal capabilities as appropriate .

Rapidly iterate on proto@types with guidance from product leaders and engineers, incorporating feedback and improving usability.

Define and execute validation activities: user testing, collecting real-world feedback, and synthesizing findings into actionable changes.

Assess solution readiness by refining product positioning and go-to-market (GTM) narrative (target users, value proposition, differentiators).

Prepare concise demo artifacts (proto@type walkthrough, storyline, key results, and next steps).

Present outcomes on Demo Day to senior innovation leadership, including the Chief Innovation Officer (CIO).

Wh o we are looking for :

The Builder - You've shipped something. A side project, a hackathon winner, an app , a model. You create before you're asked.

The Cross-Pollinator - You live at the intersection. IST meets finance . Engineering meets healthcare . You see connections others miss.

The AI Native - You've used LLMs, built agents, fine-tuned models, or created AI-powered workflows. You think in terms of what AI makes newly possible .

The Problem Hunter - You're drawn to messy, real-world problems. You ask "why does it work this way?" about systems most people take for granted.
