The Oriens Summer Internship

Oriens is launching a summer internship program for Bachelor’s and Master’s students in finance, business, and economics. This short and comprehensive program offers a hands-on introduction to the role of a private equity analyst.

Over two months during the summer break, interns get to know both sides of a hands-on private equity fund: work in the HQ on fund related matters and at the portfolio companies on ownership tasks. They research new investment opportunities, work directly with portfolio companies’ management on strategic projects, build a strong understanding of the fundamentals of private markets, and engage in direct discussions with Oriens’ managing partner.

Program structure:

• First week: onboarding at our Budapest office (accommodation provided for expats),
• Weeks 2-8:
  • 2 days/week at either the Prague or the Budapest office, working on research tasks, taking part in knowledge building initiatives,
  • 3 days/week at one portfolio company, where the intern will be assigned to work on an ongoing strategic project.
• Mentoring: each intern’s work will be directly managed by a senior colleague for personal advancement, alongside a biweekly meeting with the managing partner.
• Top performers: may get an offer to the Oriens Private Equity Rotation Program (PER). The PER is an exceptional rotation program that takes analysts and later associates through every stage of the private equity job, while giving them insight into multiple industries, countries, and the full investment life cycle.

The ideal candidate:

• Is enrolled at a leading university to a bachelor’s or master’s degree program in business, economics or finance,
• possesses strong analytical and quantitative skills,
• has excellent verbal and written communication skills in either:
  • English and Czech or Slovak; or
