The Human Resources (HR) department aims to provide a value-added service to Mizuho by partnering with all levels and departments of the business. The department strives to adopt HR best practice to support the business and does so by translating company strategy into specific HR requirements, solutions and projects. In addition to core HR services the department is responsible for local and expatriate payrolls, expatriate tax matters, immigration, compensation and benefits, benchmarking as well as regulatory and statutory reporting and all related accounting.
Across the HR department we look for a range of skills and backgrounds and are particularly interested in candidates with strong analytical skills. Interns may rotate around the different HR teams (Business Partners, Talent and Inclusion, Reward and Regulatory and Payroll) and will gain knowledge of the various departments across the company.
Our interns will gain experience across the intra-HR divisions over a 10 week period with a view to being offered a position on the Mizuho 2025 Graduate Programme, commencing September 2025.
Applicants to the Mizuho 2024 Intern Programme will ideally be in their penultimate year of undergraduate study and be available for permanent employment from September 2025. We are looking for applicants able to speak both English and German. You should ideally have the right to work in UK and/or Germany.
We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to supporting equality and diversity, and seek to create a workplace that is fully inclusive.
