Summer Internships

RIG offers a limited number of internships to highly-motivated, analytical, and creative undergraduates from any discipline, who are looking to gain experience by supporting our senior consultants on live client projects.

Programme

We believe that we offer a rare opportunity to understand the nature of the management consultancy industry from the entrepreneur's point of view.

Interns will be expected to develop an understanding of several different clients' businesses, and to contribute to their sales and marketing strategies. They will represent RIG alongside our senior consultants at client meetings and assist them manage and execute the projects.

Both the start date and the length of the internship are negotiable.

Applicants

Applicants may be from any degree discipline, but will display one or more of the following traits: entrepreneurial, driven, credible and comfortable in both corporate and small business environments, a keen sense of humour.

They must also be able to work quickly and accurately, and have good interpersonal skills. An ability to take a structured approach to problem-solving, as well as an aptitude for a variety of tasks, good verbal skills and first rate written communication skills are all desirable.

The nature of our business is such that our work is not just contained within the UK. A confident understanding of one or more foreign languages would therefore be an advantage, but it is by no means obligatory.

Applications for the Summer 2010 programme will be accepted from October 2009. Interviews will begin in January.

Work Experience

RIG also offers a limited number of work experience opportunities throughout the year to highly-motivated, analytical, and creative undergraduates and graduates from any discipline, who are looking to gain experience by supporting our senior consultants on live client projects.
