Summary of Responsibilities
The Global Institutional Business (GIB) Summer Analyst will join BBVA’s Corporate & Investment Banking division as a member of the Global Institutional Business Client Coverage team. The internship is designed to provide high-performing students with hands-on exposure to institutional client coverage, financial and credit analysis, financial markets and transaction execution within a global financial institution.
Summer Analysts will work alongside Junior Bankers (Analysts and Associates) and Senior Bankers (Vice Presidents, Executive Directors and Managing Directors) across different clients, sectors and assignments, gaining exposure to the full range of activities performed by a Global Banker.
The GIB Client Coverage team covers five institutional sectors: Banks, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management (including Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Pension Funds), Public Sector, and Financial Sponsors. The program is designed to provide broad-based experience across these sectors and exposure to different institutional business models, financial profiles and banking needs.
Summer Analysts will support client and sector analysis, preparation of client materials, financial and credit analysis, market-related analysis, transaction workstreams and internal processes, while interacting with Product, Risk and other teams across BBVA’s international network.
The internship is intended for students entering their final year of undergraduate studies. High-performing Summer Analysts may be considered for a full-time Analyst position following graduation.

Scope of Duties
Summer Analysts will operate as part of the Global Institutional Business junior banker team and will have the opportunity to work with different Junior and Senior Bankers throughout the internship.
The program is designed to provide broad exposure across Banks, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management, Public Sector and Financial Sponsors, allowing interns to experience different clients, business models, types of assignments and working styles.
Summer Analysts are expected to approach all assignments with the same level of commitment and professionalism, whether supporting day-to-day client coverage, financial and credit analysis, market analysis, a live transaction, an internal process or a one-off pitch.
The objective of the internship is to build a strong foundation across the technical, analytical, commercial and professional capabilities required of a Global Banker. At the junior level, the priority is to develop broad and transferable capabilities across sectors. As bankers progress in seniority, they are expected to develop deeper sector knowledge and increasingly specialize, with sector specialization becoming established at the Vice President level.

Team Structure and Development
Summer Analysts will work across different Junior Bankers, Senior Bankers, clients, sectors and assignments throughout the internship, providing broad exposure to the Global Institutional Business platform.
The program is intentionally designed to provide broad exposure at an early stage of the banker’s career. Interns will be encouraged to learn from different team members, ask questions, understand the broader purpose behind their assignments and remain engaged in the outcome of the work they support.
Through exposure to Banks, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management, Public Sector and Financial Sponsors, Summer Analysts will begin developing an understanding of how client business models, financial and credit considerations, market dynamics and relevant banking opportunities differ across institutional sectors.
As bankers progress in their careers, this broad foundation is expected to evolve into deeper sector expertise and increasing specialization, with the objective of developing strong client and industry knowledge within a specific institutional sector by the Vice President level.
The internship is also an opportunity for BBVA and the Summer Analyst to assess long-term fit. Strong performance across technical skills, execution, judgement, collaboration, communication and overall contribution to the team may lead to consideration for a full-time Analyst position following graduation.
