Mizuho offers an eleven-week internship program during student’s final summer prior to graduation. We aim to immerse summer analysts into the daily life of a commercial banker specializing in Cash Management. Cash Product represents the products and services used by companies to facilitate the management of cash inflows, outflows and liquidity domestically and internationally. It includes the functions of sales, product development, channel management and support.

The work will include learning the various Cash products offered by the GTBA Cash Team at Mizuho as well as project oriented tasks including financial analysis, process review and development of thought-led pitch book materials in collaboration with our industry-leading cash product and sales managers as well as with bank-wide product partners.

By working at Mizuho, interns will gain an in-depth understanding of how a leading and growing global bank operates in the American market. Prior to beginning work with the GTBA Cash team, we provide in-house and external technical training, covering core investment banking skills including accounting and financial modeling. From day one, summer analysts will have the same responsibilities as our full-time analysts, working side-by-side with GTBA’s senior Cash leaders on pitch materials for Mizuho’s existing and prospective clients, as well as the management of our Cash product set and execution of cash and liquidity management related transactions. We aim to provide summer analysts with the overall Mizuho experience, and look to invite top performers back to join the institution as a full-time analysts following graduation.
