Internship - Capital Origination

Want to become the best version of yourself? At Rabobank you work on your personal development and contribute to the world around you. You get to focus on your own growth in an environment in which you continue to learn. In addition, you can also expect:

• An internship allowance of EUR 500 (senior secondary vocational education) or EUR 600 (higher professional education/university) gross per month based on a 36-hour week.
• Personal guidance
• A professional working and learning environment
• An internship community and inspiring events

The Client Coverage team is responsible for servicing the largest clients (>EUR 250mln turnover) in these sectors in the Netherlands and with the strong ambition to expand into Europe. Within that, the Capital Origination team plays a central role in the roll-out of the Banking 4 Energy Transition (B4ET) strategy for Europe. Capital Origination is focussed on continuous early idea generation and origination efforts across strategic and capital products to develop and maintain the strategic dialogue with European clients in the Energy Transition & Circularity and Transport & Mobility sectors.

You and your job
You will get relevant experience in financial analysis and preparing client presentations, developing these 'investment banking' skills during the internship. It will mean working in a dynamic and challenging working environment. You will get exposure to a wide array of other teams and people within Wholesale, and develop relevant knowledge of the energy (transition) sector. Capital Origination is a relatively new & growing team, offering our new intern the opportunity to further shape the role as part of the internship.

Together we achieve more than alone

We believe in the power of difference. Bringing together people's differences is what makes us an even better bank. So we are very curious about what you can bring to our team.

‘Rabobank’s Banking 4 Energy Transition mandate unlocks growth potential and also results in tremendous opportunities for the bank to support our clients in realising the required change. There is great momentum in our Banking 4 Energy Transition strategy in Europe, and an exciting chance to further capitalise on existing relationships, as well as to develop new client relationships. There is so much to do, I believe this is a real opportunity for everyone who is entrepreneurial and looking for a way to make impact in the energy transition for the bank and beyond.’ - Erik van Veen, Executive Director and lead B4ET Capital Origination
