Frontend Engineer Intern

Olive Tree Consulting is currently assisting a London-based financial services firm with a project focused on improving their internal management systems and decision-making processes. As a Frontend Engineer Intern, you will help us build the tools and interfaces that make these management habits visible and easier to follow. This is a full-time, fully remote internship designed for someone early in their career who wants to focus on building practical, clear software for professional use.

About the Role
We believe that how a team sees its own work often dictates how well they perform. In this role, you will support our advisory team by developing internal websites and dashboards that help our client visualize their organizational structure and decision-making history. The London-based financial services firm we are supporting has complex internal data, and our job is to present it in a way that is simple and actionable. You will work alongside our consultants to ensure the technical interface supports the quiet, clear management style we advocate for. This position exists to bridge the gap between abstract advice and the digital tools the client uses every day.

What You Will Do

• Write clean and maintainable HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build user interfaces for internal client projects.
• Convert structural diagrams and management maps into functional web-based views.
• Collaborate with our team to refine how data is displayed, ensuring it reduces cognitive load for the end-user.
• Debug and test frontend code to ensure stability across different web browsers.
• Maintain clear technical notes and documentation to help the team understand the choices made in the codebase.
• Participate in remote team meetings to coordinate project timelines and review technical progress.

What We Are Looking For

• A strong interest in web development and a desire to build tools that prioritize utility and clarity over complexity.
• The ability to explain technical concepts to teammates who may not have a background in engineering.
• High attention to detail when it comes to the layout, alignment, and consistency of a user interface.
• A proactive approach to solving problems and the ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.
• Thoughtfulness about the user experience and how a simple change in layout can make a tool more effective.

Helpful Background

• Experience building basic web applications using React or a similar JavaScript framework, whether through school projects or personal study.
• Comfort using version control tools like Git to manage and share code.
• A basic understanding of responsive design to ensure tools are readable on various devices.
• Familiarity with modern CSS techniques for creating clean and consistent layouts.

What We Offer
This is a paid internship with a competitive rate for the current market and the internship level. Because Olive Tree operates as a fully remote firm, you will have the ability to work from your own environment while staying closely connected with the team via digital tools. We offer a professional atmosphere where clear writing and deep work are valued over long meetings. You will get the chance to see how frontend engineering directly supports high-level management advisory work in the financial services sector, receiving mentorship from a team that values practical results and professional growth.

About Olive Tree
Olive Tree Consulting Group is a focused advisory practice that helps leadership teams solve recurring management issues. We typically work on the space between strategy and daily execution. A team can have very capable people and still find that decisions keep reopening, priorities stall, or responsibility remains unclear. These are rarely personality problems: they are structural habits that have not kept up with the company's growth.
We favor practical changes over large-scale transformation programs. Our work involves looking at how decisions are made, how meetings are run, and how ownership is recorded. We prefer useful written notes and clear ownership over polished presentations and vague alignment. Good advisory work should make things plainer and leave the team with a rhythm they can continue on their own.
The firm is built on the principle that memory is not a management system. We help teams create the smallest possible written record to support their work so that important follow-up does not depend on who was in the room or who has the best memory. The goal is a quieter management pattern that makes the existing work easier to lead.
