Strategy Consultant Intern - Corporate Strategy - Paris F/H

Indefi is a fast-growing strategy consulting firm serving financial investors - including private equity specialists, diversified asset managers, and wealth managers. Founded in 2007, we are now a team of 80+ consultants based in Paris, London, Lyon, and Madrid.

We operate through three business units:

• Corporate Strategy: We deliver strategic development projects for global asset managers, including business strategy, market entry, distribution strategy, product development, inorganic growth, and investment process enhancement.

• Private Equity: We support private equity firms throughout the deal life cycle, helping them make better investment decisions and generate stronger returns. We also advise on firm strategy and development to drive value creation.

• Sustainability Advisory: We help clients design and implement their Responsible Investment strategy and operating model. Working across the investment value chain, we support investors and portfolio companies in defining and embedding their ESG and sustainability ambitions.

We are looking for postgraduate students or recent graduates from top-tier business or engineering school/universities to join us as Strategy Consultant Interns for our Paris office for a duration of 6 months, starting in January 2027.

As corporate strategy consultants, our work typically focuses on a core set of internal strategic initiatives for our clients:

• Designing business development strategies (e.g., market entry, product innovation and distribution);

• Assessing inorganic growth opportunities (e.g., target screening, due diligence, strategic reviews, M&A support);

• Supporting product development and benchmarking (e.g., evaluating or redesigning investment processes, adapting products for new markets and channels).

Each project lasts from three to six weeks where a dedicated team of up to five people collaborates from start to finish. As an intern you will have the opportunity to attend meetings with clients and Indefi partners.

To support our expansion, we are looking for a candidate who will:

• Support strategic engagements for top-tier global asset managers by:

  • Collecting data and driving analyses;

  • Conducting field research and interviews with market experts;

  • Shaping hypotheses, developing recommendations, and presenting findings to leadership teams.

• Work collaboratively and proactively as a committed member of the Indefi team;

• Ensure deliverables meet the highest standards and consistently exceed client expectations.
