As an R&D Strategy Intern, you explore the future of business banking and are on top of the latest financial innovations, AI-enabled opportunities and industry best practices. If the latest trends in the market, new business models and R&D strategy are your daily bread, keep reading!

What you will bring:

• You are currently studying, close to completing your degree, recently graduated, and have already gained first internship experience — ideally in consulting, corporate finance, banking, fintech or strategy.
• You’re excited about understanding how banks work not just from the outside, but from the inside too: strategy, products, platforms.
• You’re the kind of person who asks, “what if?” and your curiosity has a habit of opening too many tabs.
• You like working with cross-functional teams, joining forces across product, IT and strategy.
• You can analyze business ideas, think in models, and love connecting the dots between customer needs, market trends, and technical possibilities.
• Your slides are clear, your ideas well-structured, your messages hit home – in English too.

You will impress us if:

• You’re comfortable juggling multiple topics while keeping your eyes on the big picture.
• You enjoy turning research and data into insights and insights into real business value, making complex things like you’re talking to your smart friend, not a boardroom.
• You’re curious about how emerging technologies can shape the future of corporate banking.
• You’re proactive, communicative, and not afraid to challenge the status quo.
• You love exploring new digital ecosystems and thinking in platforms, not just products.

Why you will like us:

• We are designers and developers, analysts and engineers, product owners and product managers, architects, writers, coaches, testers and, well, a few bankers who love to exchange ideas and push the boundaries.
• New Work is not just another buzz word to us. We proactively adapt to the ever-changing work environment of today.
• We provide an encouraging, empathic, and friendly professional environment, with all the hardware & software you need to work efficiently (e.g. MacBook Pro, mobile device, licenses...).
• Our attitude is open-minded, and we are always keen to stand up and go the extra mile for the correct solution.
• For this 12-month fulltime internship, we offer a gross monthly wage of EUR 3.267,- (Bachelor) or 3.400,- (Master) in accordance with the respective collective agreement.
