Commercial Intern

At Board Intelligence, our mission is to empower business leaders to act as a force for good in society. How? We provide an award-winning software platform, plus 25+ years of consulting expertise to support better conversations in the boardroom, and better business conduct all-round.

Joining our Commercial team as an intern will allow you to develop a bespoke career to suit your strengths and interests. We’re looking for movers and shakers, passionate about outstanding customer experience and making big commercial wins, with a commitment to helping businesses be a force for good. In our Customer or Business Development functions, you’ll develop a range of commercial and customer-centric skills over the course of this three month placement.

How your BI Journey will begin

Your induction into Board Intelligence will involve learning about our success to date, and how we help boards to be more effective; from FTSE 100s to large privatelyowned companies and public sector bodies. You’ll also get to know our product and service with our Product Specialist and Onboarding teams.

After you complete your induction, you’ll quickly begin working with the team to support our market growth and provide first-rate support to our clients. You’ll:

• develop commercial understanding and skills
• hone your skills in nurturing client relationships
• gain insight to our concierge style consulting service
• and become an expert in leadership and governance.

Your internship will be learning-intensive, developing your knowledge in a range of ways from working with our world-class teams to taking part in our inhouse development programs and mini-MBA. But it’s not just about learning – you’ll be central to the team and making a real business impact from the get-go.

We have a proven track record in developing talent and are proud to have maintained our family feel as we’ve grown. We’re looking for the brightest sparks who support our vision and ethos, who can make real impact over the course of their time with us.
