Vacature: Investment Banking internship Amsterdam
Nomura today
Over the last few years, global financial markets have seen fundamental change. For us, it’s been for the better. We have used this period to build our global franchise. In 2008, we acquired the Lehman Brothers operations in Europe and Asia; meanwhile, in North America, we expanded in every business area, attracting hundreds of top professionals from across the market. We have a clear vision of being a leading global investment bank, and we are investing in our company to make it happen.
Our heritage in this industry goes back over 80 years. Nomura’s franchise has always been characterized by a real sense of co-operation, teamwork and support. Since 1925 we have had real strength in Asia, and this is something that continues to set us apart. Today we are a growing, global business that is distinct and unique because of the work we do, the people we have, and the opportunities we face.
There has never been a better time to join Nomura. Many of our people describe it as a ‘ground-floor opportunity’ – and it is. Here you could be helping to shape our performance, to build our capability and to create the 21st century global investment bank.
Internship opportunities
An internship with Nomura is your opportunity to see just what you could be part of. You will get first-hand experience of the possibilities a career in banking could bring you, and get a feel for our culture. You'll also have the opportunity to create new networks, gain valuable on-the-job training and see what makes us the most exciting proposition in the investment banking world.
We aim to give our interns the same level of exposure as a first-year Analyst or Associate. That means you'll work as a full member of the team, participating in team meetings, potentially meeting clients, forming effective working relationships and showing a real commitment to our goals and values. During the course of your internship you can expect to work closely with a buddy and have regular contact with senior mentors.
