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 small team, offering our new intern the opportunity to work directly together with each member of the 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.
