We work with many of the world's top multinational corporations, law firms, banks and private equity firms on their most important issues to deliver impact that makes a difference. From resolving disputes, navigating crises, managing risk and optimizing performance, our teams respond rapidly to dynamic and complex situations.

About The Role

FTI Consulting Brussels is looking for an intern to join our public affairs Technology, Media and Telecom team for a 6‑month internship.

If you are looking to work in a dynamic and thriving sector team that crosses multiple issues, then this is the position for you.

FTI Consulting Brussels is a leading Brussels‑based public affairs, policy advice, public relations and strategic communications consultancy.

From its office located in the heart of the European capital with over 100 professionals and 20+ different nationalities, FTI Consulting Brussels is a market‑leading advisory. We specialise in strategic and integrated public affairs communications services advising multinational companies facing business‑critical political, policy, regulatory or reputational challenges on how to engage with stakeholders including politicians, NGOs and the media in Brussels and beyond.

In this role you will be part of a fast‑growing team of experts who advise a broad range of clients at an EU, regional and global scale, active in the tech, media and telecoms space. Thus, a strong interest and/or prior knowledge on topics such as platform regulation, cybersecurity, data privacy and protection, or AI policy among others will be a considerable advantage.

As an Intern, you will work on different client accounts, support senior colleagues, and be involved in general day‑to‑day support of operations.

What You'll Do

• Deliver to clients: Monitor institutional and regulatory developments; conduct EU policy analysis and research on relevant TMT issues; draft reports and present findings to clients; support with day‑to‑day deliverables; participate in strategy sessions for clients.
• Build the business: Provide support on the development of new business opportunities, including research and contribution to the development of proposals; contribute to wider marketing initiatives to positively position the firm and practice in the market.
• Team involvement: Contribute to knowledge‑building and sharing within the team and to the development of relevant materials and resources; participate in values‑based/D&I activities.
• Networking: Attend and report on relevant industry events; build a strong network within European institutions, think tanks, academia and others.

How You'll Grow

You will have the opportunity to work in some of the most challenging and fascinating public policy issues currently being tackled in Europe, advising a broad range of clients in the technology, media and telecommunications sector. You will be part of a dynamic and multinational team of experts based in Brussels and you will be able to work closely with professionals within FTI Consulting's global network.

At FTI Consulting we take a very personalised approach to individual career development in combination with ample Learning & Development opportunities to help our people thrive and grow in their role. We are also avid supporters of Diversity and Inclusion and ensure all aspects of this and our broader values are embedded in our culture of entrepreneurialism, respect and integrity. We respect work/life balance and consistently strive to facilitate a flexible working environment.

Internships are remunerated and run in 6‑month cycles. It is our intention to convert successful intern candidates to full‑time consultants at the end of their tenure should their performance meet our expectations and business conditions be conducive.

We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities. We aim to promote continuous learning and individual skills development through on‑the‑job learning, self‑guided professional development courses and certifications. You'll be assigned a dedicated coach to mentor, guide and support you through regular coaching sessions and serve as an advocate for your professional growth.
