Business Development Intern (Students Only)

About the role

Blackmont Consulting is an advisory firm offering a hands-on, performance-driven internship for students and recent graduates. It is voluntary and unpaid, and takes place remotely within a global organisation. The intern owns their own pipeline from prospecting through to signed agreements: researching potential clients, reaching out and following up, and developing tailored proposals, while coordinating with their manager.

Key responsibilities

• Research potential clients, reach out and follow up, and develop tailored proposals
• Run real client conversations and handle real objections
• Attend onboarding and weekly team meetings, and keep the manager updated
• Aim to close at least one client project per month (the first may take 5-7 weeks)
• Reply to team communications within 48 hours

Required profile

• Student or recent graduate
• Time commitment of around 5 hours per week
• Comfortable with cold outreach; prior sales experience is a plus but not required
• Professionalism at the level of a paid role

What we offer

• Real, client-facing experience with actual companies, not mock exercises
• Path to promotion to Business Development Manager for strong performers
• Direct access to fellow interns, managers and consultants, with ongoing mentorship and weekly team learning
• A realistic chance of a strong recommendation letter for good performers
