What

We are looking for internship candidates who are

with a specific focus on Transaction Services & Private Equity. We have

entry level Consultant positions available for top performing interns upon

completion of the internship. You must be graduated and looking for

full-time employment to be eligible to apply.

Internships

within TSPE usually last 8 weeks and are designed to expose

individuals to working on client projects. Interns can expect responsibility

from the outset as a valued member of the project team. Throughout your time at

Simon-Kucher you will contribute to analysis and results, benefiting from

working alongside experienced Consultants, Directors and Partners. Whilst

commercial due diligence will be the key focus of the team, we work

collaboratively with other parts of Simon-Kucher, and therefore you will have

the opportunity to also work on non-deal engagements; in areas such as M&A

strategy, market reviews, revenue growth, pricing, marketing efficiency and

digital strategy. Projects tend to be relatively short (average length of 3-4

weeks), providing the chance to learn a lot and work with different clients across

a variety of sectors.

• How satisfied are customers, and what is the potential for future up-sell versus risk of losing customers?
• Can the business achieve its revenue growth targets?
• How can growth of this business be accelerated over the next 3-4 years?
• How would this market and business perform in a recession?

Simon-Kucher is growing, creating an
