Summer Internship 2027 - Business Development, Regional Services
About The Position
Airbus is looking for a Summer Intern - Business Development to join our Customer Services Business Development team based in Herndon, VA. As a Business Development Intern, you will operate at the intersection of internal transformation and external market strategy, helping our team map the path forward for new initiatives. Rather than routine administrative work, you will be handed an opportunity, a goal without a clear roadmap, and tasked with helping us build the strategic exploration, architecture, and / or operational design required to move it forward. The Regional Services Business Development team operates as internal consultants for Airbus Americas Customer Services, specializing in initiatives that carry high ambiguity and require strategic definition before execution. Our mission is to develop the structural and commercial future of Airbus Customer Services. We transform strategic goals into revenue-ready deliverables through strategic design, internal transformation, and commercial enablement. We don't just execute on predefined tasks, we define the problems, build the blueprints, and pilot the solutions.

- Thrive when handed a problem without a clear solution. You know how to ask the right questions to define the "What" and the "Why" before jumping into the "How".
