New Business Intern

About us

Delivery centres in Dubai and overseas support large implementation programs. Consultants are staffed across industries early on, then specialise after a few years. Every new hire gets a mentor outside their reporting line.

• Prepare simple pitch decks and one-page proposals in Google Slides.
