Overview

This is an off-cycle internship opportunity within the Oil & Gas (O&G) advisory group of a global consulting firm, based in Dubai. The team covers transactions across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific region, and given the APAC market focus, the right candidate may also have the longer-term opportunity to be based in Hong Kong.

The O&G group is a dedicated, cross-product industry vertical comprising financial and technical professionals who focus on large, complex transactions across upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors, as well as molecule-related alternative energies. The team operates globally, with bankers across Dubai, Hong Kong, Houston, Dallas, New York, and London, and regularly executes cross-border mandates.

This is a six-month internship and the firm is looking for candidates who are immediately available.

Key Responsibilities

• Support live deal execution across mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, capital raisings, and other corporate finance advisory mandates in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific region.
• Research and analyse financial statements, industry-specific developments, general economic conditions, and the investment attributes of publicly traded and private companies.
• Assist in the analysis of acquisitions, divestitures, and financing structures, including debt, equity, and hybrid securities.
• Develop and contribute to financial models and valuation analyses.
• Work directly alongside senior professionals on client-facing engagements.
• Gain exposure to a broad range of client industries and investment banking services within an entrepreneurial, collaborative environment.
  
  

Skills & Experience

• Strong academic background.
• A minimum of three to six months of prior internship experience in investment banking; M&A or corporate finance experience is preferred.
• Solid accounting and finance knowledge, including a sound understanding of financial statement analysis.
• Some exposure to financial modelling.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Strong financial and computer skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Proficiency in Mandarin is advantageous.
• Motivated self-starter with the ability to work cooperatively across all levels of staff in a fast-paced, demanding environment.
  
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• Immediate exposure to live transactions with real responsibility from day one.
• Direct interaction with senior-level professionals throughout the internship.
• Coverage of two high-activity regions — the Middle East and Asia-Pacific — within a globally connected team.
• Potential longer-term opportunity to be based in Hong Kong for candidates with an interest in APAC markets.
• A collegial, entrepreneurial culture that rewards initiative and performance.
