Internship

We are looking for a small number of Interns wishing to explore a career in strategy consulting to work with our fast-growing team in Central London. Duration is 2-3 months starting immediately. As a member of the small-knit team you’ll work alongside highly experienced professionals on real projects and assist in producing quality work to exacting standards and timescales. You’ll get hands-on experience, and the chance to make a contribution from the start.

To get a flavour of the role, here are quotes from one of our summer 2014 and summer 2015 LSE interns, both of whom have now taken up permanent consulting positions with us:

“I can only speak highly of my time spent at STL. Obtaining exposure to a range of different projects and gaining an insight into consulting from individuals at the top of their game was everything and more that I wanted from the internship. I was given a great amount of individual responsibility and felt that I was really listened to when I asked to accomplish certain goals during my time there. I would highly recommend the internship to anyone interested in research or consulting."  

“From Day 1, the experience I gained from my internship at STL was truly insightful; I had the opportunity to interact with senior clients and participate in a variety of assignments. The global nature of the projects that STL is involved in means that you could be working with companies from the US to the Middle East to South East Asia. It’s a great environment too where colleagues are supportive and keen to make sure interns are an integral part of the team.”  

Requirements

• Very strong academic background (minimum 3 A’s at A level),  Russell Group university (minimum 2:1 in your first degree), with a strong technical and business aptitude
