Role Description

The summer internship is a unique, high-visibility opportunity to work at the heart of BHI's investment activities. As a member of the Private Investments team reporting directly to the Managing Director, the Summer Associate will be embedded in end-to-end investment processes, from early-stage sourcing and market mapping through due diligence, pipeline management, and live deal support.

The internship is expected to be approximately 2 months, running from June to August. The position is full-time and remote, with flexibility on work location. The Summer Associate will have the option to work in-person with the Managing Director in New York City a few times per week for those based in or near the area.
