Intern Project Manager

We are looking for an Intern Project Manager to support our advisory work for a leading German logistics firm as it expands its operations. Gulf Associates provides commercial judgment for complex investments, and this role is central to keeping our internal workflows aligned with the client goals. This is a full-time, fully remote internship that offers a view into how high stakes decisions are made and executed in challenging environments.

What you will do

• Maintain and update project schedules to ensure all workstreams for the logistics expansion stay on track.
• Conduct targeted research on counterparties, including potential local partners and service providers.
• Draft internal reports and briefing notes that summarize the ground reality of the market for our partners.
• Organize and categorize data related to regulatory updates and commercial requirements in the territory.
• Attend internal partner meetings to record action items and follow up on pending tasks.
• Assist in the preparation of position papers that help the client make decisions on joint ventures and capital deployment.
• Monitor external news and market shifts that could impact the logistics firm project timeline.
• Ensure all project documentation is organized and easily accessible for the senior team in our remote workspace.

What you bring

• A high level of organization and the ability to manage your own schedule in a remote setting.
• Clear, direct writing skills: you can explain complex issues simply and without unnecessary corporate jargon.
• Commercial curiosity: you are interested in how deals are structured and why companies choose to enter new markets.
• Logic and critical thinking: you look for evidence and facts rather than relying on generic assumptions.
• Attention to detail: you notice inconsistencies in reports and schedules before they become problems.
• The ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and professional judgment.
• Familiarity with basic project management tools and standard office software for documentation and research.
• A collaborative mindset: you are comfortable asking for clarification and providing updates to a senior team.

What we offer

• A fully remote work arrangement, providing the flexibility to work from any location that suits your productivity.
• Direct exposure to senior partners who are deeply involved in negotiations and high level strategy.
• Practical experience supporting a major international expansion for a prominent logistics firm.
• A paid internship position with a monthly stipend that is competitive for this role and the current market.

Working at Gulf Associates
Gulf Associates is not a traditional consultancy. We avoid theoretical reports and generic models in favor of commercial reality and actionable advice. We keep our engagement list small so that our partners can remain involved in the direct work of their clients. Our culture is grounded and straightforward: we value outcomes like signed agreements and successful launches over the volume of slides produced. As an intern, you will be expected to contribute to this focus on results. You will work in an environment where honesty and clarity are prioritized, helping us support clients as they navigate complex partnership decisions and investment risks. We value individuals who are ready to learn by observing how seasoned professionals handle real world commercial problems.
