Internship – Corporate Finance, Debt and Capital Advisory

Join ING Bank’s Debt and Capital Advisory (D&CA) team in Amsterdam as an intern and work on real transactions from day one in a fast-paced, international environment. As part of ING’s Corporate Finance division alongside Equity Capital Markets (ECM), Financial Institutions (FI) Advisory, and Private Equity Advisory, you’ll contribute to live, high-impact transactions and strategic financing solutions for clients across the globe.

At ING, the D&CA team brings together professionals from various nationalities and backgrounds in an open-minded, collaborative culture that encourages contribution and growth.

What You’ll Do

From day one, you’ll be treated as a valued member of the team. You’ll work on challenging, real-time transactions that often make headlines, gaining exposure to:

• Debt advisory and transformational financings (bank debt, bonds, private placements, equity, and hedging)
• Cross-border projects in collaboration with colleagues in Frankfurt, Brussels, Madrid, Milan and London
• A wide range of sectors and deal types, including bond issuance, refinancings, large-scale investments, and restructurings

You’ll support the team with financial analysis, pitchbook preparation, and execution support, while developing valuable hard skills such as financial modeling, developing a view on a company’s capital structure, credit analysis, and transaction execution.

At the same time, you’ll build essential soft skills, including structured thinking, communication, teamwork, adaptability, and stakeholder management, that are critical for a successful career in finance. You’ll be immersed in a fast-paced, international setting that will challenge you to think critically, work independently, and grow rapidly.
