About the role
This internship provides the support structure required to manage our active mandates for a Manchester-based infrastructure group. The project requires high coordination between our principals and the client leadership to ensure every milestone is met with precision. As an intern, you will help bridge the gap between initial research and final delivery, ensuring our analysis stays organized and actionable.
About Arabian Private Holdings
Arabian Private Holdings was founded on the principle that many critical business problems do not fit the traditional large‑firm consulting model. A board facing a succession question or a family group weighing a capital injection does not need a team of twelve associates and a hundred‑page methodology deck. They need experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for some of the most significant family groups, listed corporations, and government entities in the region. We focus on clarity over complexity. Whether we are helping a holding company rationalize its portfolio or supporting a founder through a scaling transition, our goal is to provide honest, independent advice. We operate as a remote firm, choosing to prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our relationships over traditional office overhead or aggressive growth targets. If a project is not a fit for our expertise, we are direct about it. If it is, we stay involved until the decision is made and the results are delivered.
What you will do
- Support the planning and tracking of progress for the Manchester‑based infrastructure group mandate.
- Maintain detailed project documentation, ensuring that all records are accurate and up to date.
- Conduct focused research on specific industry trends to help the principals form a clear view on portfolio decisions.
- Prepare concise internal briefs that summarize the current status of various project workstreams.
- Assist in the preparation of materials for strategic discussions with client leadership.
- Monitor project timelines to identify potential delays before they impact the final output.
- Organize and manage shared files and communications within our remote project environment.
- Collect and synthesize data to support the review of client operating models.
What we are looking for
- A strong academic background with proof of logical rigor and clarity of thought.
- The ability to write in plain, professional English without the use of corporate jargon.
- Exceptional organizational skills and a focus on keeping projects organized and on track.
- Curiosity about how large holding companies and infrastructure groups manage complex governance problems.
- A reliable approach to work, especially when operating in a fully remote environment.
- Comfort with taking direct feedback and using it to improve the quality of your output.
How we work
Our firm operates on a principal‑led model where every member of the team is directly accountable for the success of a mandate. We work fully remotely, which allows us to stay focused on high‑quality analysis rather than administrative bureaucracy. This independence requires a high degree of self‑management and a commitment to clear, written communication. Mentoring happens through active participation in real projects, where interns work alongside principals to see how complex corporate decisions are made and defended. We value honest advice and professional distance, focusing on delivered results rather than billable hours or growth targets.
What the role offers
- Direct exposure to the strategy and governance of a major infrastructure group.
- A competitive paid internship that recognizes the value of your contributions to the firm.
- Hands‑on experience in project management within a professional partnership environment.
- The flexibility of a fully remote role that respects professional autonomy.
- Opportunities to develop a professional writing style that prioritizes clarity and precision.
- Practical knowledge of how family groups and listed corporations rationalize their portfolios.
