Sep 24, 2025, 8:00:00 AM

Interns will join our
Hong Kong
office for a period of 10-12 weeks. They work directly with senior colleagues based across the Asia-Pacific region and will get exposure to cutting-edge policy and regulatory issues around digital technology and AI
or
financial services. This will include direct exposure to clients who are global leaders in the technology and financial services sectors. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds interested to work on technology
or
financial services policy. Applicants must have the right to live and work in Hong Kong.

Flint's preference is for candidates who can work full-time on the internship. However, since it is in term time, Flint will consider candidates who can work on a part-time basis but can set aside a minimum of sixteen hours per week.

WHAT WE OFFER

When you join Flint Global as an Intern, you are joining a strategic public policy consultancy that will challenge you and invest in your development. Internships at Flint provide practical experience for individuals with an interest and/or background in
policy
,
politics
, and
regulation
. They are short-term supervised placements, usually structured around a set of tasks and/or a project which has a set timescale.

Flint Global helps the world's leading technology and financial services businesses navigate cutting-edge policy and regulatory issues in countries across Asia-Pacific. Governments in the region are trying to accelerate digital growth and are also considering new regulatory approaches to capital markets, private markets, digital assets, cyber, AI, online safety, and competition in digital markets.

Flint supports businesses to engage governments on these issues. This role will provide an unparalleled opportunity to analyse the complex policy challenges our clients face and develop approaches to address those challenges.

Our clients usually have broad responsibility for public policy and regulatory strategy across the region, working at the senior levels of their business. We help our clients anticipate, interpret and respond to political and policy developments. We advise on how they can shape the business environment and work constructively with policymakers to achieve their goals, in a context where governments are becoming more interventionist and, in an Asia-Pacific region where geopolitical tensions are increasing the risks to business.

Please see the information on our careers page – including testimony from previous interns – for further details before submitting your application.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will be working closely with senior colleagues in Hong Kong, where you will support client engagements by providing analysis and briefing, contributing to policy development and project management. Interns receive frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams. This support includes input from your colleagues to help guide your career, helping you to develop your skills and build your network. The Hong Kong office is small in size, giving you the opportunity to gain direct exposure to senior staff and to be involved in growing the business in a meaningful way.

with the right to live and work in Hong Kong
