Descrição da oferta de emprego

Ready to take the next step in your career and make your mark in the financial world?
At Vontobel, we believe diverse perspectives drive innovation and success. That’s why we’re excited to welcome passionate, ambitious, and curious students into our Early Careers Internship Program. Whether you’re fascinated by finance, risk management, regulatory aspects and governance this program offers you the chance to collaborate with a dynamic team, receive personalized support, and contribute to projects that truly matter.
Over 6 months, starting on 1 March 2027, you’ll gain hands‑on experience and insights into the financial industry while building lasting connections in a globally recognized investment firm.

What would your role be?

As part of the internship, you will:

• Connect the events, themes and risk across the bank by supporting the further enhancement and alignment of enterprise, operational and resilience risk frameworks, including risk appetite, risk taxonomy, risk governance and the interaction between different risk types.
• Work across the bank’s Three Lines of Defense, engaging with business units and colleagues across Risk, Compliance, Technology, Finance and other control functions to understand how business activities, risks, processes and controls interact.
• Contribute to risk analysis and oversight across operational incidents, emerging risks, regulatory developments, risk culture and resilience scenarios, helping identify risk concentrations, control weaknesses and common risk drivers.
• Turn risk information into management insight by supporting risk reporting, dashboards, committee materials and presentations preparations that enable senior management and governance bodies to understand the bank’s risk profile and make informed decisions.
• Help strengthen and simplify risk management processes by improving the connection between risk appetite, incidents, issues, controls, risk assessments and resilience, while identifying opportunities for better data, automation and more efficient workflows.
• Explore how AI can enhance risk management, including the responsible use of AI to support risk identification, analysis, control assessment and management reporting, while considering appropriate governance and human oversight.
• Gain insights into the bank’s corporate governance and understand how risk information is escalated, challenged and translated into decisions by management, risk committees and the Board.
• Bring a fresh perspective to Enterprise Risk Control, applying curiosity, analytical thinking and constructive challenge to help the bank continuously strengthen how it identifies, assesses, manages and monitors risk.

What are we looking for?

What you bring

• Ownership: You are curious and get involved. You ask why a process works the way it does, offer to help where your team needs it, and see your own projects through from start to finish.
• Tenacity: You are driven and self‑dependent. When the data doesn’t add up or the first approach fails, you look for another way and you come back with an answer.
• Foresight: You are a pro‑active self‑starter with a can‑do mentality. You spot what’s coming and you take the initiative to solve it before it becomes a problem.

What sets you apart

• AI literacy: You use AI tools to research, analyze and draft faster, and you double-check their output before you rely on it.
• Collaboration: You work well with others and build your network. You reach out to colleagues beyond your own team, learn how other parts of the bank work, and share what you find.

What you need to apply

• You are enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program, or graduated within the last two years, in finance, technology or a related field. You have a genuine interest in the financial sector. You are fluent in English, written and spoken. German, French or Italian is a plus. You hold a valid work permit for the location you are applying to.

What do we offer?

At Vontobel, we strive to create an inspiring environment where you can thrive. Here’s what you can expect:

• Prime Zurich location: Modern collaboration spaces, and free on‑site canteen offering freshly prepared lunches to keep you energized.
• Supportive and inclusive culture: Be part of a friendly, diverse team that values individuality and collaboration in an open‑office setting.
• Tools for success: Access the latest technology and resources to excel in your role.
