Intern Analyst, Corporate Advisory

Adara Partners is recruiting for an Intern Analyst for 12 months, commencing on or around 3 February 2025.

The internship programme provides an unparalleled opportunity for a student in their final or penultimate year of university to gain hands on corporate advisory experience.

The Adara internship programme provides students with the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution in highly strategic and high-profile deals. Whilst many internship programmes exist in the market, this is a rare opportunity for someone to gain exposure to complex projects, work closely with professionals at the top of their field and uplift the lives of women and children in vulnerable communities globally.

The intern will be invited warmly into the Adara family and will be provided with the trust to do more than watch from the sidelines. They will gain hands on experience, build their network, whilst continuously focusing on enhancing their academic, professional and personal development.
