Job description
Origin
Origin’s software has transformed the debt capital markets, completely streamlining the way companies and investment banks work together to raise capital. Having launched just over 7 years ago, Origin is now used by over 20 investment banks and over 90 borrowers in over 50 cities worldwide. Our clients include some of the largest investment banks and borrowers globally, including Barclays, Citi, and Telefonica. We are backed by Clearstream, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and a number of prominent angel investors.
Our culture has helped us succeed where others have failed, in an industry that is famously resistant to change. We are a group of self-starters who are brave enough to take risks, and humble enough to learn from our mistakes. We know that our whole is greater than the sum of our parts, and we’re looking for like-minded individuals to join our team.
The Role
This is a unique opportunity for an enthusiastic, outgoing and smart final year undergraduate student, or recent graduate, to join the Business Development team at Origin as an intern for 3 to 6 months.

- preparing sales and marketing pitch decks
- analysing usage data to generate insights about customer satisfaction
- conducting market research about client and competitor activity
- speaking to clients directly to help understand their needs
You will sit at the intersection of sales, customer success, and product development. We value communication and collaboration and as a Business Development intern you will work closely with our Product Managers, Developers and Product Designers.
