Business Development Intern (Students)

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 organization.
