Mizuho Banking - Banking CIB COO

Mizuho is not your typical financial institution.

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.

Mizuho 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.

Summer Internship – Banking CIB COO
We are offering a fantastic opportunity for students to join this global investment bank within their Banking CIB COO Department. This will be a 10-week paid internship, starting June 2024, designed to give students broad exposure into the operations and strategic initiatives of Mizuho’s Banking, with a view to being offered a position on the Mizuho 2025 Graduate Programme.

Your salary is highly competitive, in line with salaries offered by other London Investment Banks.
