Business Development Intern

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.
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.
