PMO Intern

We are looking for a PMO Intern to join our team and support the coordination of a high-stakes project for a major French retail group. This retail group is currently evaluating complex investment decisions and partnership structures in a new market environment. You will assist our senior partners in managing the timelines, reporting, and logistical workflows that keep our advisory work accurate and on schedule. As a fully remote member of our team, you will contribute to the ground reality analysis that informs our clients' most critical commercial judgments.

What you will do

• Maintain project tracking documents and schedules for our current engagement with the retail group.
• Update internal status reports that provide partners with a clear view of ongoing research and counterparty analysis.
• Organize and categorize data gathered from local market sources to ensure it is accessible for senior decision support.
• Draft summaries of meeting notes from internal strategy sessions and calls with external subject matter experts.
• Monitor project milestones and notify the lead consultants when timelines for specific research tasks need adjustment.
• Support the preparation of briefing materials that illustrate potential commercial scenarios for the client.
• Coordinate the flow of information across our remote team to ensure consistency in the evidence we present to the client.
• Assist in the quality control of client-facing reports, checking for clarity and consistency in formatting.

What you bring

• Strong organizational habits and the ability to track multiple moving parts within a single project.
• Clear writing skills with a focus on being direct and avoiding unnecessary professional jargon.
• Commercial curiosity about how large companies make investment decisions and manage risk.
• A disciplined approach to research and an interest in understanding how counterparties behave in complex markets.
• The ability to work independently in a fully remote environment while staying connected to the team.
• Basic familiarity with spreadsheet software for tracking tasks and managing project timelines.
• A logical mindset that can translate complex information into structured updates.
• Enrollment in or recent completion of a degree program related to business, economics, or public policy.

What we offer

• A fully remote work structure that provides flexibility and focuses on the quality of your work rather than hours spent in a chair.
• Direct exposure to senior partners who are involved in negotiations and regulator conversations where outcomes are actually settled.
• A paid internship with a stipend that is attractive and competitive for the role and current market.
• The chance to work on a significant project for a major retail group, gaining insight into how sovereign entities and private capital interact.

Working at Gulf Associates
Gulf Associates operates on a model that prioritizes commercial judgment over theoretical reports. We do not produce generic strategy decks: we provide advice that a chief executive can act on immediately. Our culture is built on direct communication and a preference for ground reality over distant head office perspectives. Because we maintain a small book of active engagements, every member of the team has visibility into the entire project lifecycle. We value outcomes over output. We are comfortable being measured on the results that follow our advice, which means we expect everyone, including our interns, to be rigorous in their thinking and precise in their work. Our team works across different time zones in a fully remote setup, relying on documentation and clear communication to keep our projects moving forward without the need for constant meetings.
