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 keep us ahead of the game.

You’ll work with senior leaders, explore new ideas, and help shape the future of one of Europe’s leading media and entertainment brands.
