Arthur D. Little will be offering Innovation Practice internships in London from Spring 2024, for students approaching graduation, as well as for recent graduates. Innovation Business Analyst Interns typically join Arthur D. Little for a 4 month period. During their internships, Business Analyst Interns are active members of project teams and often execute similar responsibilities to full-time junior members of staff.

The role

The Innovation Practice is a cross-sector functional team that works with clients to improve R&D strategy and outcomes in global corporates. From understanding tech needs and designing dynamic innovation strategies, to optimizing innovation productivity and delivering cutting-edge innovation capabilities, we help create new products, services and business models; develop Innovation Ecosystems; and develop entirely new businesses with our Breakthrough Incubator.

Qualifications

Business Analyst Interns are outstanding students in their final year of studies, who are approaching graduation, or who have recently graduated from a leading school or university. Their academic records should demonstrate significant analytical or quantitative experience, typically from a numerate discipline (e.g., mathematics, science, economics, business, and engineering). Arthur D. Little is looking for highly analytical, credible and charismatic candidates with strong presentation skills and a professional demeanor. Ideal candidates will have previous relevant experience – either through an internship or otherwise – in an analytical/research role in which they will have successfully applied their knowledge and skills.  Proficiency in Microsoft Office packages, especially Excel, and

excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.  Fluency in English is required; additional language skills are desirable.  The candidate should be a highly motivated self-starter and a strong team player.

Unfortunately, we do not sponsor work visas at this moment.
