Consulting Internship – Transaction Services & Private Equity, October 2026 Start

We are looking for internship candidates who are
interested in learning more about a career in commercial strategy consulting
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.

Our
TSPE team support leading mid and large-cap PE clients, as well as corporates,
to invest in the right businesses, addressing interesting questions such as:

• How large is this market, how fast is it growing and how will it develop in the future?
• Is this company winning, and if so, how is it taking market share from its competitors?
• 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
entrepreneurial and inspiring work environment where you can take on real
responsibility and experience a steep learning curve. Internships are our
primary pathway for recruiting entry-level Consultants in the London office, so
strong performance during your internship can open the door to continuing your
career with us.
