JOB DESCRIPTION & SUMMARY

Internship Strategy & Deals
Are you looking for an internship in 2025? In which you will apply strategic thinking to a deals process? Then the internship Strategy& Deals is the perfect fit for you.

WHAT IS STRATEGY& DEALS?

Strategy& Deals is PwC’s in-house strategy consultancy focused on commercial due diligence, M&A strategy support and value creation. As part of the largest deals advisor worldwide, we work with leading private equity firms, corporate boards and management teams on their most important strategic investment decisions, from developing M&A strategies, assessing deal opportunities to realizing value post deal.
We apply a strategy skill set in an M&A context. During a transaction, information asymmetry is a given : naturally , the target knows more about their company than the acquirer and this often raises key questions . Due to the fast-paced and high- stakes nature of M&A activities , clients need substantive answers quickly . We take an “ outside -in” approach to provide essential insights and mark any “red flags ” that could compromise the commercial attractiveness of a company. By engaging in research, analyzing company and market data, building market models , and conducting interviews with industry experts, we provide our clients with the necessary knowledge to make the right decisions .
We work with all our clients on their strategic and investment agenda. Our clients include corporate acquirers and private equity (PE) houses , both with their unique needs .
For corporate clients , post- acquisition revenue and costs synergies , operational capabilities , joint- value opportunities , “culture” (mis)matches are key areas of interest. Being part of a broader Deals business unit, allows us to leverage experience in order to unlock potential , recognize any roadblocks and create post-deal value .
For PE clients , we are able to provide quick deep-dives into industry dynamics and value chains , top-line development, businessplan assessment, and investigate exit opportunities allowing them to capitalize on key investment opportunities .
