Mizuho is not your typical financial institution.
We offer a fantastic opportunity to gain experience within a global investment bank, working on real projects whilst developing a strong professional network within a bank that prides itself on its inclusive, cooperative and friendly company culture.
We offer the best of both worlds – the feeling of a boutique work environment within a global organisation. Our steady growth in EMEA gives our people at all levels rewarding degrees of responsibility and a richer work experience than a small firm or an established giant could offer alone.
The Global Transaction Banking Department (GTBD) works closely with Mizuho’s Corporate and Investment Banking division to provide transaction banking products and solutions to corporates, financial institutions and government-related enterprises across the UK, Continental Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
What will I be doing?
Over 10 weeks, you’ll gain hands-on experience within the Global Transaction Banking Department, working alongside experienced professionals and gaining insight into how Mizuho supports its clients globally.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Conduct company, industry and market research
- Assist with assessing clients’ transaction banking requirements
- Support the preparation of client presentations, reports and marketing materials
- Contribute to the structuring and execution of transactions
- Support wider business activities, strategic projects and process improvement initiatives
Throughout the programme, you’ll gain exposure to different transaction banking products and solutions, developing your understanding of how Mizuho supports clients with their cash management, liquidity and trade finance requirements.
