Graduation Internship Credit Risk Portfolio Management

Curious how data, artificial intelligence and risk management come together in one of the most important decision-making processes of a bank? Grow your skills during this graduation internship at Rabobank.

You and your future

During this graduation internship at Rabobank, you will work on a strategic portfolio management challenge within Credit Risk. You will help analyse risks, trends and developments within Rabobank’s business lending portfolio and translate these into actionable insights.

Your graduation assignment will focus on data-driven decision making, portfolio analysis and future-oriented risk management. We are particularly interested in students who are enthusiastic about how artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and predictive models can support better risk assessments and portfolio steering. You will explore how data and technology can help us identify developments earlier, improve portfolio insights and support credit-related decision making.

And then? This internship gives you a unique opportunity to gain experience in a highly visible part of the bank, build a strong professional network and develop expertise in risk management, data analysis and AI-driven innovation. Previous interns have successfully progressed into starter positions and traineeships within Rabobank.

In short/Examples

• Research how AI and advanced analytics can improve portfolio monitoring and risk insights.
• Analyse large datasets to identify trends, patterns and early warning signals within lending portfolios.
• Contribute to innovative portfolio management challenges that help Rabobank make better-informed decisions.

Practical

• Length: Graduation Internship: 4 to 6 months.
• Hours per week: 36.
• Salary: €600 monthly.

Your internship experience

This is not a traditional research internship where your work disappears into a drawer. You will work on real business challenges that matter to Rabobank.

You will be part of a department that acts as the eyes and ears of senior risk management and helps maintain a healthy risk profile across the lending portfolio. The team continuously analyses portfolio developments, reviews policy changes, monitors emerging risks and advises stakeholders throughout the organisation.

Together with experienced professionals, data analysts and risk specialists, you will translate analytical findings into practical recommendations. You will learn how portfolio decisions are made, how risk appetite is monitored and how data, technology and human judgement come together in modern risk management.

You will receive intensive guidance while maintaining plenty of freedom to shape your own research direction. Along the way, you will build a valuable network and gain exposure to various teams and stakeholders across Rabobank.

Learning from each other

Development is our top priority. Because the best way to learn is by doing, through mistakes and successes. At Rabobank we offer you the right balance between freedom and supervision. To develop talents you never thought you possessed. To specialize in a professional field or explore the things you are good at and enjoy doing.

During your internship, you can count on excellent supervision from experienced professionals who enjoy investing in young talent and sharing their knowledge. You will work with colleagues from various backgrounds and disciplines, allowing you to broaden your perspective and learn how different expertise comes together to solve complex challenges.

"Previous internships have shown how much impact talented students can make. The combination of analytical skills, curiosity and fresh perspectives often leads to valuable insights for both the student and the team."

Sven Zandbergen, Manager Food, Agri, Trade & Hospitality.
