Project Management Internship

We are looking for a Project Management Intern to support the operational coordination of our current advisory engagements. A Munich-based industrial firm is currently working with us on a large scale project involving heavy capital deployment and new market entry in a complex territory. This role is a fully remote internship, requiring a high degree of organization and a clear understanding of how professional projects are structured. You will work alongside our partners to ensure that timelines are met and that our advice remains grounded in the practicalities of the project. Unlike many junior roles that focus on theoretical exercises, this internship places you at the center of a real commercial engagement where you will see how senior decisions are organized and executed.

What you will do

• Maintain and update project schedules to ensure all milestones for the Munich-based industrial engagement are documented and shared with the team.
• Organize the flow of internal communication between senior partners and research staff to keep project workstreams aligned.
• Assist in drafting project status updates that focus on facts, progress, and commercial logic rather than generic summaries.
• Track interactions with various counterparties and maintain a detailed record of how negotiations and discussions are progressing.
• Support the research team by ensuring that data gathering activities stay aligned with the specific deadlines set by the client.
• Manage our digital documentation systems to ensure all project materials are organized, labeled correctly, and accessible to our remote staff.
• Coordinate internal review sessions and partner briefings to ensure that work is reviewed and polished before it reaches the client.
• Log action items from regular team syncs and confirm that follow-up tasks are recorded and assigned clearly.

What you bring

• A strong sense of organization and the ability to keep track of multiple moving parts within a single project.
• Excellent writing skills with a focus on clear, concise communication that avoids jargon and unnecessary filler.
• A genuine curiosity about commercial logic and how large industrial firms make investment and partnership decisions.
• The self-discipline needed to stay productive and organized in a fully remote work environment.
• Basic proficiency with spreadsheet software and project tracking tools to monitor deadlines and deliverables.
• Close attention to detail, ensuring that every document and update we produce meets professional standards.
• A professional attitude and the ability to handle sensitive information about client engagements with discretion.
• Reliability in meeting internal deadlines and providing regular updates to the senior team.

What we offer

• Full remote flexibility, allowing you to manage your work from your own location.
• The opportunity to learn directly from senior partners with deep experience in high-stakes commercial advisory.
• A paid internship with a competitive rate for the current market and entry-level seniority.
• Direct exposure to the operational side of a major project for a Munich-based industrial firm.
• A working culture that values clarity, honesty, and professional judgment over corporate bureaucracy.

Working at Gulf Associates
Gulf Associates is a specialized firm. We do not focus on volume or generic strategy models. Instead, we help clients make difficult decisions based on the ground reality of their markets. This means our work is often focused on the specific behaviors of counterparties, the influence of regulators, and the actual mechanics of a deal. Our team is fully remote, which requires a high level of trust and clear communication. We prioritize outcomes over the number of hours spent at a desk. Because our partners stay involved in the work from start to finish, entry-level team members get a clear view of how commercial judgment is applied to real-world problems. We value people who are straightforward, disciplined, and more interested in the reality of a deal than the theory of it.
