Job description
We are looking for a Web Development Intern to support the firm digital projects and data visualization needs. Gulf Associates provides commercial advisory services for complex investments and partnership decisions where ground reality matters more than theoretical models.

- Collaborate with senior partners to translate text-heavy advisory reports into accessible digital formats.
- Update and optimize the firm website to ensure it reflects current project needs and professionalism.
- Ensure all web tools are functional across various devices and browser environments used by sovereign entities.
- Support the technical side of research by cleaning and structured data for web-based tools.
- Troubleshoot basic front-end issues and bugs to keep internal reporting systems running smoothly.
- Help document the technical logic used in our internal scenario-modeling tools.
What you bring
- A solid foundation in HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript gained through studies or personal projects.
- Strong commercial curiosity and an interest in how technology supports high stakes investment decisions.
- A disciplined approach to remote work and the ability to meet deadlines without constant supervision.
- Attention to detail when it comes to visual layout and the accuracy of technical data.
- Clear communication skills to explain technical limitations and possibilities to non-technical team members.
- Reliable organizational skills to manage multiple small tasks across different client engagements.
- Basic knowledge of how to make web tools user-friendly for senior executives and decision-makers.
- An open mind towards learning new tools or platforms as required by the specific market logic of a deal.
What we offer
- A fully remote working arrangement with no requirements for travel or office attendance.
- Practical experience working on digital initiatives for a multinational financial services partner.
- Direct exposure to senior partners who value technical support in the context of commercial judgment.
- A paid internship with a competitive rate that is attractive for the current market and entry-level requirements.
- The opportunity to see how digital tools are used in real-world negotiations and capital deployment.
Working at Gulf Associates Gulf Associates operates on the principle that commercial judgment and evidence of counterparty behavior are more important than generic strategy reports. We work with chief executives and family groups on high stakes decisions, focusing on how results are actually settled in the territory. Our firm is small and senior-led, which means we value direct honesty and outcomes over simple output. We avoid the typical fluff of global corporate entities and prefer a grounded approach to every problem. As an intern, you will be treated as a professional contributor whose work facilitates the decision-support we provide to sovereign entities and private partners. We expect you to be curious and precise, and in return, you will gain insight into how complex deals are structured and managed.
