Who We’re Looking For:
This opportunity is ideal for individuals considering a career in business development, sales or marketing who are looking to gain practical experience within a professional environment. We are seeking bright, organised and proactive individuals who are confident communicating with a wide range of people, curious, ambitious and eager to learn. Successful interns will be willing to take ownership of tasks, work independently when required and develop an understanding of how a successful business attracts new clients and builds lasting relationships. Previous property experience is not required. We are far more interested in attitude, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.

Working alongside experienced professionals in a prime London market, you will build confidence in a professional environment and develop valuable communication, organisational and commercial skills that will benefit you throughout your career. The experience gained will strengthen future university, apprenticeship and job applications while providing a clear insight into careers in business development, sales, marketing and the wider property sector.
