Business Development Intern [STUDENT ONLY - REMOTE]
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
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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
