- Coordinate with the team to build new landing pages and interactive reports for our Munich-based client engagement.
- Optimize site performance, focusing on loading speeds and mobile responsiveness across different browsers: ensuring the experience is consistent for clients in diverse environments.
- Assist in the management of CMS platforms, including security patches and plugin updates, to maintain a secure digital perimeter.
- Collaborate with the research team to turn static data points into clear, accessible web visualizations.
- Draft and documentation technical workflows for internal use to ensure our digital processes remain replicable and stable.

- Basic proficiency in HTML, CSS, and common website builders or content management systems like WordPress.

- High attention to detail: you notice when a margin is inconsistent or a link is broken before anyone else does.

- The ability to follow technical instructions accurately and ask clarifying questions when variables are unclear.
- A disciplined approach to remote work: you can manage your schedule and meet deadlines without constant supervision.
- Clear, direct communication skills: you can explain a technical problem to a senior partner who values brevity and logic.
- Preference for functional, clean design over unnecessary visual decorations or complex animations.
- A focus on outcomes: you understand that a website is a tool for professional communication, not just a creative project.
- Full remote flexibility: this role is designed to be performed entirely from your own workspace, regardless of your physical location.
- Exposure to senior-led commercial advisory work: you will see how investment decisions are made at the highest levels of business and government.
- Professional mentorship: you will receive direct feedback from partners who value commercial judgment over theoretical reports.
- Competitive pay: this is a paid internship and the compensation is attractive for the role and the current market.
- Concrete project experience: you will contribute directly to active client engagements and see the results of your work in a real-world context.
Working at Gulf Associates means stepping away from the generic models often used by large global consultancies. We prioritize ground reality and commercial logic, focusing on what happens in the room during a negotiation or inside a regulator conversation. Our firm is senior-led by design, allowing us to keep a small book of active engagements where every team member has a direct line to the decision-makers. We value honesty and directness: we would rather hear about a technical problem early than see a polished report that hides the truth. Because we operate fully remotely, we rely on high levels of individual ownership and clear communication. Our culture is built on results rather than output: we measure ourselves by the success of our clients, whether that means a successful capital deployment or a signed joint venture agreement. This environment is ideal for an intern who is ready to contribute to a professional atmosphere where their work has tangible consequences.

Working student rulesSocial contributions
Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.
