Business Development Intern [STUDENT ONLY - REMOTE]

Business Development Intern [STUDENT ONLY - REMOTE]

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 Requirements:
  • Self-driven & resilient: You 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:
  • Time commitment: Around 5 hours/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.
