Internship - Full-time- Management Consulting - Banking

The Programme

We are looking for Interns to join our team for a three to six-month period. The internship requires 40 hours of work per week, and we offer a flexible hybrid working arrangement.

Our internship program provides an opportunity for students to gain practical experience with current financial services domain and train under professionals with decades of experience in banking.

The intern will work with a team of consultants of different seniorities who will provide you with guidance and support, such that you can train alongside them and become fully self-sufficient.

As an intern, you will work with the Banking Management Consulting team and assist them in external client projects as well as internal Business Development (BDM) opportunities. You will be working with clients to elicit and document system requirements, understand the client’s business model and processes, and drive solution design with the client to meet operational and regulatory challenges.  

Within the BDM, you will participate in carrying out research analysis and marketing campaigns, creating marketable assets, and actively contributing to sales opportunities. 

Synpulse offers its one-of-a-kind Academy program to interns.

As an intern, you can take multiple modules from the Synpulse New Employee School (NES) to learn and integrate into the role over the course of the internship.
