Who You Are

We are looking for curious, analytical thinkers who enjoy solving problems and building relationships. You don’t need to know everything about investment banking—your drive to learn, resilience, and willingness to get involved matter most.

You could be a great fit if you:

• Are a collaborator who thrives in teams and supports others.
• Are analytical, able to break down complex data to see the bigger picture.
• Communicate clearly, explaining ideas simply in person, in writing, or in presentations.
• Are resilient and driven, staying focused under pressure, adapting quickly, and delivering to a high standard.
• Are proactive, taking ownership and not waiting for others to solve problems.
• Enjoy building long-term relationships based on trust.

What You’ll Do

From day one, you’ll gain exposure to real deals and see how investment banking works behind the scenes. You will:

• Work with teams on live transactions, products, or market sectors, connecting with banking teams globally.
• Explore specialist areas such as Export Finance or Infrastructure Finance.
• Learn how project, acquisition, and export finance deals work, and how we support clients on their Net Zero journeys through tailored finance and advisory solutions.
• Apply your knowledge to financial statements, identify anomalies, and calculate key ratios.
• Prepare and review client materials, including teasers and information memorandums.
• Perform credit analysis and review project financials and due diligence.
• Build financial models to support debt financing transactions and valuations.
• Research market trends and monitor developments to create insights for internal and client use.
• Develop your Excel and PowerPoint skills to produce accurate models and client-ready presentations.
• Maintain compliance with applicable regulations.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll receive the training, coaching, and real-world experience needed to kickstart your career in investment banking.

Here’s what’s in store:

• Expert-led training: A week of structured, bespoke training at the start of the internship.
• Relationship building: Learn how to connect with colleagues and clients, building trust and credibility.
• Discretion: Develop the professionalism needed to handle sensitive deal information.
