Job Description



This internship provides a comprehensive introduction to leadership consultancy, while encouraging exposure to a variety of business functions.

As an Intern, you will support Consultants with their organisational and private-client projects. Our work includes making recommendations, designing implementation processes, and measuring outcomes. Examples of some of the challenges we help clients address are:

  • How can you support senior leaders with career management?
  • What capabilities do the leaders of tomorrow need to possess? What is the most efficient and effective way to equip leaders with them?

Selected interns will receive an extensive training program. This will be delivered by consultants and executive coaches. Training will cover key topics such as driving organisational change, presenting engaging research, and the power of deep psychometric testing.

Candidates should have a strong interest in human and organisational behaviour, and how this relates to leadership effectiveness and business performance.
