As part of the Infoquest family, you’ll join a fast-growing startup culture at the heart of the GCC knowledge economy. This internship isn’t just about gaining experience; it’s a chance to learn, grow, and take your first steps in one of the most dynamic industries in the region.

Whether it’s a multi-million-dollar investment or a bold business strategy, we connect clients with the industry specialists whose expertise can make all the difference.

Our role is simple but powerful: we make inaccessible knowledge accessible fast.

The internship journey

As an Associate Intern, you’ll experience the fast-paced world of expert networking firsthand. Think of yourself as the bridge between clients seeking insights and the experts who provide them.

This 3-month internship will offer you hands-on exposure to real client projects, training, and mentorship. You’ll develop key professional skills such as communication, organization, and problem-solving. At the end of the internship, we will assess your performance, and if you demonstrate the skills and drive we’re looking for, there is the possibility of transitioning into a full-time position at Infoquest.
