Who's Hiring
Tips for Your Corporate Development Associate Internship Search
Apply earlier than you think necessary
Large employers with structured summer analyst programs open applications the preceding fall, sometimes six or more months before the internship starts. Smaller companies and co-op programs post closer to their start dates. Check listings throughout the year so you catch both recruiting windows and don't miss early rounds at larger firms.
Build deal work before your first application
Corporate development intern hiring teams expect limited work history, so give recruiters something concrete to assess. Put together financial models, a valuation analysis, or a written deal memo that shows your process. Document the tools you used, such as Excel or Capital IQ, and link to the work where you can.
Work your campus network alongside direct applications
Campus career fairs surface structured programs tied to your university, and recruiters there often move faster for students they meet in person. Your professors and career center staff may know which corporate development teams recruit from your school before roles post publicly. Applying directly to companies running smaller cohorts at the same time widens the pool you reach.
Practice your interview format before you apply
Corporate development associate intern screens typically involve a financial modeling exercise, a valuation or deal case, or a strategic question about a company or industry. Practice out loud and walk through your reasoning step by step, since interviewers weigh how you structure a problem as much as the final answer you reach.
Target structured rotational and analyst programs first
Larger companies often run cohort-based summer analyst or rotational programs in corporate development, built specifically to train people new to the field. These programs recruit early and fill fast. Identify the ones that fit your background and apply in the first wave rather than waiting until general applications open.
Set your work-type filter before you start
On-site roles are 43% of the corporate development associate internships listed here. Decide what you can realistically commit to before you start sorting through openings, then filter by location and work type on Migrate Mate so you're only reviewing roles you can actually take.
Corporate Development Associate Internships: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a corporate development associate internship?
Lead with coursework and projects rather than work history, since hiring teams expect limited experience at the intern stage. Build a concrete artifact recruiters can assess, such as a financial model, deal memo, or M&A case study that shows your analytical process. Pair direct applications with campus career fairs, where corporate development recruiters often move faster for students they meet in person.
Can a corporate development associate internship turn into a full-time job?
Many employers extend return offers to strong interns, but conversion is never guaranteed. What actually drives it for corporate development associate interns is performance on real deal work, available headcount on the team, and how early the company makes return-offer decisions. Position yourself by contributing visibly on live projects, without counting on conversion as the outcome.
When should I apply for corporate development associate internships?
Earlier than most expect. Large employers, particularly those with structured summer analyst programs, recruit the preceding fall, often months before the internship begins. Smaller companies and co-op programs post closer to their start dates, so openings appear year-round. Checking listings regularly means you catch both waves rather than missing the early rounds at larger firms.
Are corporate development associate internships paid?
Most professional corporate development associate internships in the United States are paid. Compensation varies by company size, industry, and location, and some employers disclose it directly in the listing. Where pay is shown, you'll see it on the posting itself.
What should a corporate development associate internship resume include?
Lead with two or three complete, documented projects rather than work history. For corporate development associate candidates, that means financial models, valuation analyses, or M&A case studies with the tools used, such as Excel or Capital IQ, and links to the work where possible. Add relevant coursework in finance, accounting, or strategy, and keep the whole document to one page.
Are there remote corporate development associate internships?
Yes. Remote and hybrid roles make up 57% of the corporate development associate internship listings here, with the rest on-site. Remote cohorts fill fast, so apply early and filter by work type to see them before they close.
What is a corporate development rotational internship?
Some larger companies run structured rotational programs that move interns across corporate development functions, such as M&A, strategic partnerships, and integration planning, over a single summer cohort. These programs are designed for people new to the field, recruit early, and are competitive. If a rotational program exists at a firm you're targeting, identify it specifically and apply in the first wave.
Can international students get corporate development associate internships?
Yes. F-1 students can intern through CPT while enrolled or through OPT work authorization after finishing a degree, and the employer does not have to file anything for either, so many companies are open to international interns. Confirm your eligibility and timing with your university's international student office before accepting an offer.
