Conducting cold calling campaigns to prospect potential acquisition targets and partners
Drafting and sending strategic cold emails to business development prospects
Assisting with business development activities, including prospect identification, outreach, and qualification
Contributing to presentation materials and investment memoranda
Learning transaction documentation and deal lifecycle management
You'll collaborate directly with our experienced M&A team, gaining mentorship on deal evaluation, negotiation tactics, client relationship management, and sales development—skills that significantly accelerate your finance career trajectory.

Strong analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail and numerical aptitude

Keen interest in corporate finance, M&A transactions, and business development

What You'll Gain
✓ Practical M&A Experience: Direct exposure to real transactions and deal processes rarely available to junior talent

✓ Professional Network: Build relationships within the M&A community, develop business development contacts, and gain industry connections
✓ Career Acceleration: Internship completion significantly enhances your CV for graduate finance roles, equity research, investment banking, business development, and corporate development positions
✓ Mentorship: Work alongside seasoned M&A professionals who actively invest in your development

Duration: Internship programme 20-24 weeks, with possibility for extension
Location: Remote (UK hours)
Compensation: Unpaid internship (this role is educational in nature, designed to provide hands-on training, business development exposure, and career development rather than replace a paid position; consider gaining a Level 4+ professional finance qualification in tandem)

We pride ourselves on nurturing emerging talent and have successfully placed numerous interns into graduate finance roles, private equity analyst positions, investment banking programmes, and business development careers.
