About the AWM Consulting Internship Program 

The Asset and Wealth Management (AWM) Consulting Internship Program offers an unparalleled platform to enable rapid career development. You will join our Toronto office for 10 weeks to work directly with our clients and have the opportunity to gain hands-on consulting experience and skills through direct exposure to senior management teams within some of the world’s largest asset managers, while simultaneously supporting key internal initiatives. 

New Consulting Interns starting at Alpha FMC are provided with a developmental three-day ‘Alpha Internship Training Program’ designed to provide you with key consulting skills as well as a solid network within your cohort. It will consist of the following: tool-specific training (e.g. Excel charting/PowerPoint design); soft skill training (e.g. time management, leadership, presentation skills); and ‘Management Consulting 101’ (including project management skills and effective stakeholder management). You will have the opportunity to meet and learn directly from a range of Alpha Subject Matter Experts who will present client projects and explain the different focus areas within Alpha. 

Following the Internship Training Program, you will likely be working on a client engagement with a small to medium sized team (2 to 6 consultants). As advisors to the world’s top asset and wealth managers, you’ll be working alongside senior executives from the industry and helping them to solve their most challenging business problems and achieve their goals. 

As for where you will work, our team do a combination of working from home, your local Alpha office, and client site. If your client is based in the same city, the amount of office time will vary depending on the client expectations (some clients don't ask us to be in their offices at all, others up to 4 days per week). If your client is based in a different city, travel to 

the client would typically only be required for key meetings or project milestones. 

Alpha believes in supporting its employees through development and coaching – you will receive frequent mentoring from your colleagues. This will include a senior colleague from Alpha North America who will help you grow and achieve your career goals. Additionally, you will have an Alpha Buddy at the Analyst level to assist with your onboarding and integration into the firm. At the end of your internship, you may receive an offer to join us as a full-time Analyst after the completion of your degree. 

What are the role responsibilities? 

At Alpha, you will work in teams to identify and implement solutions for a range of issues facing asset and wealth managers. Over the course of the summer, you will collect and analyze data, prepare, and test hypotheses, and present recommendations to the client to solve their unique business challenges. 

As a Consulting Intern, you will be responsible for: 

• Following the project delivery plan and producing accurate, complete, and timely deliverables to support your project team 

• Supporting the creation of client deliverables by assisting in the facilitation of client meetings and workshops, maintaining project plans, performing analysis in Excel, and providing effective content creation (e.g., PowerPoint)

• Contributing to the wider Alpha community by participating in one or more of Alpha’s business management or practice areas
