Strategy Internship

Ever wondered how a company like Sky decides what to do next? Whether it’s launching a new product, investing in cutting-edge tech, or expanding into new markets, our Strategy team is behind the big decisions that shape Sky’s future.


On this eight-week internship, you’ll work with senior leaders, dive into real business challenges, and help answer the big questions that guide one of Europe’s leading media and entertainment brands.


We’re looking for curious minds, fresh perspectives, and people who love solving problems. If you’re someone who asks “why?” and “what if?”, this is your chance to turn those questions into real impact.
