Job description

zeb is one of the leading strategy, management and IT consultancies specializing in financial services in Europe. We support banks, insurance companies and (tech) service providers in dealing with all the challenges and opportunities arising from transformation in the industry.

Your impact

• Internships at zeb provide a real impression of life as a consultant, preparing you for a full-time role while working on 1–2 interesting projects with a significant impact on our clients and their business challenges.
• You will be a full team member and hold responsibility for a distinct piece of work that helps the team deliver impact within our client landscape.
• As part of international and diverse teams, you tackle strategic problems in the banking industry and develop data driven solutions for management, for example by quantifying the impact of current megatrends (such as climate change) on credit portfolios.
• You challenge the status quo of the industry, work out recommendations for further development, initiate forward looking decisions and bridge the gap between complexity and added value for the client, including presenting results directly to stakeholders.
• In addition to your project work, you are internally involved in expanding and sharing your expertise, for example by contributing to future oriented topics – such as AI – in interdisciplinary teams and by supporting the preparation of industry articles.

Your profile

• You are currently pursuing an academic degree (Bachelor, Master, MBA, or PhD) in business, economics/econometrics, mathematics / natural sciences or a related field (you do not need to be enrolled at the time of the internship).
• You are fluent in English; Dutch is a plus but not mandatory.
• Prior work experience is not required; we value demonstrated interest in consulting, finance, and/or risk management through extracurricular activities and initiative beyond academic studies. Initial experience in consulting or financial services is a plus.
• You enjoy working with data and solving problems in an analytical and structured manner. You are proficient in rational decision-making based on data, facts and logical reasoning.
• You can synthesize complex problems into clear, management-oriented insights, communicate them effectively and collaborate well with colleagues across teams and office locations.

Your Benefits

• Mentoring & Coaching: Together with your CDC (Career Development Counselor) you will plan your personal career path and find support in pursuing your development goals. Mentoring is more than just career planning. It also consists of sparring and feedback from your colleagues in the practice group. PGs are where we exchange and validate ideas, develop innovations, learn together and create something new.
• Onboarding events: As part of our onboarding journey, we host various events where you can experience our culture firsthand, meet other newcomers, and learn the ins and outs of your everyday work at zeb. zeb.start is a welcome week that takes place in Münster and features a varied program. We also offer networking meetings in advance and, shortly after your first day, a virtual starter kit where you will learn everything you need to get off to the best possible start at our company.
• zeb.stayconnected: Have you ever talked to zeb about starting a career, but then changed your mind? If you want to keep in touch with us, you can use the zeb.stayconnected program. We regularly provide you with the latest news from zeb and look forward to keeping in touch.
• Events: An important part of our culture is the exchange of thoughts and networking among colleagues. You have the opportunity to do so at numerous events, such as the Christmas Party, zeb.Uni, partner dinner or the "Beer & Pizza" format.

Equal opportunities for all: we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, nationality, gender, religion, sexual identity or social background. As an employer, we rely on people who like to try new things, take responsibility and inspire others through their actions.
