Intern

Interns join our Amsterdam office for a period of 5-6 months. They work directly with colleagues at all levels across Flint Global, including senior leadership, and gain exposure to cutting-edge public policy and regulatory issues. This will include direct exposure to clients who are global leaders in their sectors. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds interested in working on public policy. Applicants must have the right to live and work in the Netherlands. Full-time availability for the duration of the internship is a requirement.

WHAT WE OFFER

When you join Flint Global as an Intern, you are joining a strategic public policy consultancy that will challenge you and invest in your development. Internships at Flint provide practical experience for individuals with an interest and/or background in policy, politics, and regulation. They are short-term supervised placements, usually structured around a set of tasks and/or a project which has a set timescale.

Flint Global helps the world’s leading businesses navigate cutting-edge policy and regulatory issues across different countries. Governments are considering new regulatory approaches to cyber, AI, online safety, and competition in digital markets while also trying to accelerate digital growth.

Flint supports businesses to engage governments on these issues. This role will provide an unparalleled opportunity to analyse the complex policy challenges our public policy clients face and develop approaches to address those challenges.

Our clients usually have broad responsibility for public policy and regulatory strategy across the region, working at the senior levels of their business. We help our clients anticipate, interpret, and respond to political and policy developments. We advise on how they can shape the business environment and work constructively with policymakers to achieve their goals, in a context where governments are becoming more interventionist and, where geopolitical tensions are increasing the risks to business.

Please see the information on our careers page – including testimony from previous interns – for further details before submitting your application.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will be working closely with colleagues at all levels in Amsterdam, where you will support client engagements by providing analysis and briefing, contributing to policy development and project management. Interns receive frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams. This support includes input from your colleagues to help guide your career, helping you to develop your skills and build your network. This internship will provide you with the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to client work and the continued growth of Flint Global’s Amsterdam office.
