• Strategic synthesis: Support strategic synthesis - structuring findings, pressure-testing logic, and helping develop clear recommendations
• Executive materials & presentation: Build board- and leadership-ready slides, supporting charts, and data visualisations to communicate findings with precision and visual clarity, culminating in an end-of-internship presentation to senior leadership
• Broader programme support: Time permitting, support related workstreams as directed by the Strategy Manager

What you will get:

• Meaningful ownership from day one: You will be working on live, time-sensitive strategic work with direct impact at the top of the business
• Direct C-suite exposure: Work alongside and present findings to senior leadership, culminating in an end-of-internship presentation to the Global Leadership Team

• Paid at a competitive market rate

Qualifications

• Experience: 2-3 years of experience in an analytical or strategy-focused role (such as strategy consulting, corporate development, investment banking, FP&A, or a similar function) ideally prior to or alongside postgraduate study; technology or software experience a plus
• Excel & analytical skills: Strong modelling skills with the ability to define and execute analyses with minimal supervision; proven ability to distil complex data into clear, actionable insights
• Communication: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; able to convey complex concepts to senior stakeholders concisely and with confidence
• Visual communication: Can visualise an idea on a page without extensive guidance
• Project management: Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, exercise sound judgement under time pressure, and keep cross-functional stakeholders aligned
• Results orientation: Delivers high-quality work on time; detail-oriented without losing sight of the broader strategic picture
• Self-starter: Proactive, goal-oriented, exercises judgement; doesn't wait to be told what the next step is; thrives in a fast-moving environment and adapts quickly to changing priorities
