Intern in Group Lending

Your tasks

In our Structured Export & Trade Finance team, we develop financing solutions for internationally active companies.

• You will learn the key steps of an international financing transaction and actively contribute to individual workstreams under guidance.
• You will assist with analyses, presentations, market and company research as well as the preparation of decision-making materials.
• You will participate in meetings with internal and external clients and gain insights into cooperation with corporates, banks, insurers and other partners.
