Business Development Intern - #2194024

About Us

Blackmont Consulting is an advisory firm, not a full-service execution provider. We may get hands-on with part of a client's process to test or improve an approach, but we don't typically run a client's operations end-to-end on their behalf.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, performance-driven internship, not a passive or observational one. You'll own your own pipeline from prospecting through to signed agreements: researching potential clients, reaching out and following up, developing tailored proposals, and coordinating with your manager along the way.

What We Offer

• Strong CV value: real, client-facing experience with actual companies, not mock exercises.

• Hands-on from day one: run real client conversations and navigate real objections.

• A path to promotion: strong performers can progress to Business Development Manager.

• A real network: direct access to fellow interns, managers, and consultants.

• Direct mentorship: ongoing feedback, plus shared learning in weekly team meetings.

• A strong recommendation letter: a realistic outcome for interns who perform well.

Key Responsibilities

• Self-driven & resilient: take ownership of your pipeline and don't let rejection slow you down.

• Strong communicator: organised, detail-oriented, and clear in your outreach.

• Persistent & process-disciplined: consistent follow-through, so nothing falls through the cracks.

• Curious & collaborative: a genuine interest in the work and in learning from the team.

• Independent & outreach-ready: comfortable with cold outreach; prior sales experience is a plus, not a requirement.

What We're Looking For

• Time commitment: around 5 hours per week.

• Responsiveness: reply to team communications within 48 hours.

• Client project minimum: close at least one client project per month (your first may reasonably take 5–7 weeks).

• Meetings & reporting: attend onboarding and weekly team meetings, and keep your manager updated.

• Professionalism: treat this internship with the same professionalism as a paid role.

Start Date

Beginning of the following month.

Please note: this is a voluntary, unpaid internship designed for students and recent graduates seeking hands-on experience while working in a global, remote organisation.
