Role Brief

What the live job description actually says

Overview

This finance firm is seeking a Structured Finance Analyst intern to join their Corporate Finance Experts team for a 6-month internship starting October 2026. The role sits within the Structured Finance division of the Investment Banking department, supporting the corporate banking network by advising small-cap companies on transmission projects, capital reorganization, and organic or external growth initiatives.

The position offers exposure to the full lifecycle of structured financing transactions ranging from €1M to €15M, providing hands-on experience in deal origination, structuring, negotiation, and execution alongside client relationship management responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Participate actively in the analysis, structuring, arrangement, and negotiation of structured financing solutions
  • Support the implementation of financing packages for transactions between €1M and €15M
  • Assist in advising small-cap company management teams and prospects on transmission projects
  • Contribute to capital reorganization and growth financing mandates
  • Discover client management and credit monitoring processes in the context of ongoing facility management
  • Support the team\'s agent banking responsibilities for existing credit facilities

Skills & Experience

  • Currently pursuing final year studies at a Grande École de Commerce or equivalent university Master\'s degree (Master 2)
  • Minimum 6-month internship availability
  • At least one prior experience in Corporate Finance (M&A, Transaction Services Audit, Private Equity, or Structured Finance)
  • Strong financial analysis capabilities and technical knowledge
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and Microsoft Office suite
  • Motivated and enthusiastic approach with desire to work autonomously within a close-knit team environment
  • Based in Paris

Why This Role Stands Out

This internship provides comprehensive exposure to structured finance within a human-scale, highly autonomous team environment. You\'ll gain direct involvement in the complete transaction process from origination through execution, working on meaningful deals in the small-cap market segment while developing both technical and client relationship skills in a supportive learning environment.
