Priority will be given to applications submitted by email. You can still apply by email even after the LinkedIn job posting closes.

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.
