Debt Advisory Intern

Debt Advisory Internship at Oaklins

Throughout the year, Oaklins offers a 3-month internship to ambitious graduate students with an interest in Debt Advisory. Join our team of motivated and ambitious colleagues and work on a wide range of national and international financing solutions. Oaklins has offices in more than 45 locations employing more than 850 people worldwide while still maintaining the culture and benefits of a small team. We offer great opportunities to operate and grow alongside accomplished advisors and entrepreneurs.

What You Will Do and Learn

Oaklins' Debt Advisory professionals support public and private companies, management teams, shareholders, financial sponsors, and debt providers with the origination and execution of (complex) financing structures. Having an independent position, we use our knowledge and our network to identify solutions and financial institutions best suited to our clients’ needs.

As a debt intern, you will be actively involved in acquisition finance (LBO), corporate lending, asset-based lending, restructuring, and recapitalizations. You will work alongside junior and senior Oaklins professionals and participate in many aspects of Debt Advisory transactions.

"The internship comes with a high level of responsibility and the opportunity to experience a steep learning curve. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to experience the Oaklins culture and feel what it is like to be part of the number one independent global investment bank."
