Are you curious about how business, finance, and power shape the world we live in? At Just Share, we work to hold companies accountable for their impacts on people and the planet, particularly at the intersection of climate change and social impact. We do this through research, shareholder activism, and engagement with investors, companies, and regulators.
We’re looking for a recent graduate to join our team as an intern – someone thoughtful, motivated, and keen to learn by doing.
What this internship offers
This is a structured learning experience designed to give you meaningful exposure to our work.
You will:
- Work alongside experienced analysts across climate, social impact, and governance
- Gain insight into corporate accountability and responsible investment
- Support research, analysis, and writing tasks
- Attend internal discussions and (where appropriate) external engagements
- Build skills in critical thinking, writing, and translating complex ideas into clear insights
We don’t expect you to know everything – curiosity, effort, and openness to learning matter most.
What you’ll do
- You’ll support the team with a mix of tasks, which may include:
- Conducting background research on companies, sectors, and policy developments
- Assisting with data collection and analysis
- Supporting the drafting of briefings, reports, or internal documents
- Helping prepare for engagements (e.g. investor briefings, AGMs)
- General administrative and coordination support where needed

- Have recently completed a degree in law, economics, politics, environmental studies, finance, or a related field.
- Have a strong interest in climate change, social impact, and corporate accountability.
- Think critically and ask good questions.
- Write clearly and communicate ideas well.
- Are organised, reliable, and able to take initiative.
- Are comfortable working both independently and as part of a small team.
- Reside in Cape Town

A final note
We’re a small team doing quite big, sometimes complex work. You won’t be making coffee runs – you’ll be part of real conversations and real work. If you’re ready to understand how change happens (and to push for it), we’d love to hear from you. If you haven’t heard back from us within two weeks, it means we won’t be progressing your application further this time – but we really appreciate your interest and encourage you to apply again in future.
