Business Development Internship

Business Development Internship — W26 (October–December 2026)

About the Program

Hyde Aviation is building a data-driven business development function inside the business aircraft brokerage industry, and we are recruiting a select group of college students to join it. This is a structured, supervised, performance-based program, we are 90%+ hands on, not a shadowing internship. Associates are given real accounts, real transaction responsibility, and real accountability. 

The Role

As a Business Development Associate, you will work directly within Hyde Aviation's transaction pipeline, applying proprietary market and registry data to identify, engage, and advance opportunities with aircraft owners and buyers nationwide. Associates are individually responsible for a personal production target and will be exposed to a significant volume of additional transaction activity across the firm.

• Personal production target: approximately $1.5M in aircraft transaction value over the program
• Additional exposure: tens of millions of dollars in transaction flow across the broader firm
• Time commitment: 16–18 hours per week, comprising 15 hours of supervised business development work plus regular team meetings, scheduled around your academic calendar
• Structure: fully supervised, with defined coaching and reporting 

Program Timeline

• October 15 – December 15, 2026: Initial cohort
• January 15 – March 15, 2027: Advanced cohort, by invitation, for top performers from this program
• Ongoing: Associates who meet performance targets in the advanced cohort will be invited part-time or full-time (depending on your obligations) long-term roles on Hyde Aviation's brokerage team. 

Who We're Looking For

This program is intentionally selective and is best suited to students who are prepared to treat it as a serious professional commitment alongside their academic schedule. We are looking for associates who are diligent, coachable, and motivated by measurable results.

Qualifications

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working with data and quantitative reasoning
• Available for the full 16–18 hour weekly commitment across the program window
