Business Analyst Summer Internship
Mizuho is not your typical financial institution.
We 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.
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.
What will I be doing?
As a Business Analyst Intern, you’ll work on agile projects that impact the bank’s daily operations. You’ll gain hands-on experience in requirements gathering, solution delivery, and project coordination, supported by experienced mentors and technical leads.
You may be placed in one of the following areas:
- Markets & Banking: Delivers solutions across our Banking and Markets business areas, including client platforms, trade pricing, execution, and booking, in a fast-paced environment using a mix of vendor and in-house systems.

- Information Security: Covers cybersecurity and engineering, security policy, identity and access management, and business resilience and continuity.
- Corporate Functions & Enterprise Systems: Delivers IT solutions and services across Operations, Finance, Regulatory Reporting, and Risk, using a mix of modern platforms and industry-standard tools. This area also includes enterprise integration capabilities that support seamless data exchange and connectivity across the bank’s systems.
- Technology Management & Operations: Oversees IT portfolio governance and strategic change, project management and delivery, IT risk and compliance, and business management.
