About the role

West Monroe is seeking Consulting Interns to join our Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Practice. In this dynamic role, you will work within our Mergers & Acquisitions group, serving both corporate and private equity clients. As a Mergers & Acquisitions Consulting Intern, you will have the opportunity to learn about conducting operational and technology assessments during the due diligence phase, planning carve-out or merger integration transactions, delivering post-close execution management (e.g., SMO, IMO) and value creation projects, and advising on sell-side transactions.

Other consultancies talk at you. At West Monroe, we work with you. We’re a global business and technology consulting firm passionate about creating measurable value for our clients, delivering real-world solutions. The combination of business and technology is not new, but how we bring them together is unique. We’re fluent in both. We know that technology alone is not the answer, but how we apply it is. We rely on data to constantly adapt and solve new challenges. Actions that work today with outcomes that generate value for years to come. At West Monroe, we zero in on the heart of the opportunity, getting to results faster and preparing people for what’s next. You’ll feel the difference in how we work. We show up personally. We’re right there in the room with you, co-creating through the challenges. With West Monroe, collaboration isn’t a lofty promise, but a daily action. We work together with you to turn vision into clear action with lasting impact.
