About the role
Adara Partners is recruiting for an Intern Analyst for 12 months, commencing in June 2026.
The internship program provides an unparalleled opportunity for a student in their final or penultimate year of university to gain hands on corporate advisory experience.
The Adara internship program provides students with the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution in highly strategic and high-profile deals.

The intern will be invited warmly into the Adara family and will be provided with the trust to do more than watch from the sidelines. They will gain hands on experience, build their network, whilst continuously focusing on enhancing their academic, professional and personal development.
