Internship – Corporate Finance, Debt and Capital Advisory

Your Role and Working Environment

Are you ready to kick-start your career in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, within a truly international and inclusive team working on real transactions from day one? We are looking for a highly motivated Interno to join our Debt and Capital Advisory (D&CA) team in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

At ING, we believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Our D&CA team is a vibrant mix of professionals from various nationalities and backgrounds, united by a shared passion for finance and client impact. We foster an open‑minded, collaborative culture where everyone is encouraged to contribute and grow.

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.
