Who We Are 

Cisco’s Leaders in Finance and Technology (LIFT) Program consists of both a 10-week summer internship program and a full-time 2-year rotational program for Financial Analysts. Both programs are based in Raleigh, North Carolina. 

 

Who You'll Work With 

As an intern, you will join our outstanding global finance organization that has business partners spanning across all of Cisco (sales, engineering, etc.). Throughout the summer you will also be able to collaborate and network with fellow interns, team members, managers, and senior leaders. 

 

What You’ll Do 

Within our Finance Internship Program experience you will have the opportunity to: 

  • Work within Cisco Finance during our fiscal year close. 
  • Engage in a substantive finance role, directly contributing to the success of your team. The specific type of work varies based on which finance organization you’ll be placed into. Types of roles can include Financial Planning & Analysis, Managing Operating Expenses, Commercial Finance, Accounting, and more 
  • Work on an intern team project focused on a real Cisco business challenge. At the end of the summer, you’ll then get to present your findings and recommendations to our U.S. finance community and relevant collaborators. 
  • Collaborate and network with finance leaders, dynamic cross-functional teams, and early in career professionals 
  • Transform data into actionable insights to address business challenges 
  • Learn and develop the business sense and skills necessary to becoming a future finance leader 
  • Attend various events throughout your experience that will expand your professional network and career development 

 

Who You Are 

  • To be eligible for the internship, you must be enrolled in a 4-year university as a rising senior and have completed exactly six semesters of undergraduate studies. For example: 
  • Rising college senior obtaining a bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, economics, or other business-related degree path 
  • Or recent graduate with a bachelor’s degree heading into a 1-year master’s program in accounting or finance with no gap between undergrad and master’s program 
  • Passion for finance, leadership and technology 
  • Open minded and willing to take constructive feedback to improve 
  • Excellent and proactive communicator 
  • Comfortable navigating fast paced and evolving environments 

 

Minimum Qualifications 

  • Actively pursuing a degree at a 4-year university with six semesters of undergraduate studies completed 
  • Available to start in our internship program as part of a cohort from June 2 – August 8, 2025 
  • Able to legally live and work in the United States, without visa support or sponsorship now or in the future (even after graduating college) 

 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Demonstrated proficiency in finance principles and technical excel skills 
  • Excellent communication skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit 
  • Current involvement in varied college experiences: 
  • Leadership roles in student organizations or clubs 
  • Active participation in sports or extracurricular activities 
  • Experience studying abroad 
  • Balancing a full-time job while attending school 

 

Why Cisco 

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all. 

 

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (40 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box! 

 

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.) 

 

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward. 

 

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
