The Opportunity

Atlas Holdings is seeking highly motivated students to join its London office for the Summer Internship Programme in 2027.

This internship is designed to provide exposure to the full investment lifecycle, offering the opportunity to work across live transactions, portfolio company initiatives and origination projects. Interns will gain first-hand experience working alongside a growing, entrepreneurial investment team and will be given meaningful responsibility from day one.

With lean deal teams and a highly collaborative culture, interns can expect significant exposure to senior professionals and the opportunity to contribute to real investment decisions and value creation initiatives. 

The programme is designed as a pathway into the firm, with the intention of converting high-performing interns into full-time Analyst hires.
