Business Development Intern

About the role

Hyde Aviation is building a data-driven business development function inside the business aircraft brokerage industry and is recruiting a select group of college students to join it. This is a structured, supervised, performance-based program that is 90%+ hands-on, not a shadowing internship. Associates are given real accounts, real transaction responsibility, and real accountability.

Responsibilities

• Work directly within Hyde Aviation’s transaction pipeline, applying proprietary market and registry data to identify, engage, and advance opportunities with aircraft owners and buyers nationwide
• Carry individual responsibility for a personal production target and be exposed to a significant volume of additional transaction activity across the firm

Personal production target

• Approximately $1.5M in aircraft transaction value over the program

Additional exposure

• Tens of millions of dollars in transaction flow across the broader firm

Time commitment

• 16–18 hours per week, comprising 15 hours of supervised business development work plus regular team meetings, scheduled around your academic calendar
• Fully supervised, with defined coaching and reporting

Program timeline

• October 15 – December 15, 2026: Initial cohort
• January 15 – March 15, 2027: Advanced cohort, by invitation, for top performers from this program
• Ongoing: Associates who meet performance targets in the advanced cohort will be invited to part-time or full-time (depending on obligations) long-term roles on Hyde Aviation’s brokerage team
