Objective of the traineeship

The objective of the traineeship is to provide you with a good exposure to EIB Advisory and how it contributes to building operational pipeline for EIB Group lending and EU Programmes, such as InvestEU, LIFE or Horizon. The Division is placed at the core of Advisory Mandate Management, which manages the financial and information flows between the EIB and the European Commission at a time when preparations are underway to develop and agree plans for the EU’s next Multiannual Financing Plan. You will contribute to managing and summarising data flows (both quantitative and qualitative) and gain a good oversight into how Advisory activities facilitate policy-driven investment.

Responsibilities

• You will contribute to the sourcing, quality assurance, and summary of data for financial monitoring and operational reporting purposes. Data sourcing will rely on (pre-existing) queries of EIB systems, notably the in-house ASApp advisory and SERAPIS lending platforms, including preparation of submissions to the European Commission’s Management Information System.
• Aside from analytical work performed in Microsoft Excel and, ideally, Power BI, you will also be preparing and finalising presentations. To this end, you will work closely with colleagues in the Advisory Mandate Management unit.
• A candidate that can bring technical skills in the realm of Power BI or AI to the fore will have an opportunity to contribute to business transformation via automation.

Academic qualifications and professional skills

• Final year of studies or University degree in analytical fields such as economics, finance, engineering, computer science, or related fields.
• Concrete abilities in coding and processing in tools such as Power Query, Power BI and co-pilot would be a distinct advantage.
• Excellent knowledge of standard Microsoft Office tools (in particular Excel and PowerPoint) as well as familiarity with Power BI and AI applications, such as co-pilot.
• Excellent knowledge of written and spoken English. Knowledge of other EU languages would be an advantage.
