IMPROVED Corporate Finance is the Technology & Infrastructure investment banking boutique specialised in the global mid-market Transport and Energy sectors, with offices in Amsterdam and London.

Our mission is to empower the pioneers who are changing the world with Transport and Energy innovations through delivering creative, entrepreneurial and tailored advisory services.

As we enter an exciting new chapter, we are embedding artificial intelligence and advanced data science across our organisation; transforming the way we work, the insights we deliver, and the value we create for clients. This internship sits at the heart of that transformation.

The Opportunity

This is not a typical internship. You will work directly with senior leadership and deal teams to design, build, and deploy AI solutions that have real, immediate impact on the business. From automating time-intensive workflows to surfacing deeper market intelligence, you will help shape how IMPROVED operates in the age of AI — and leave a lasting mark on the firm.

Our organisation consists of a young and dynamic team of 15-20 FTE, partnered with seasoned industry experts with an extensive track record in and outside corporate finance.

• A structured and analytical mindset, with the ability to translate business problems into technical solutions
• Affinity with Corporate Finance and/or M&A
• A proactive, entrepreneurial and solution-oriented attitude
• Dutch & English fluency (written and spoken)
• The ability to take ownership and operate in a high-performance environment

Responsibilities

As an Data Science Intern at IMPROVED, you will be treated as a full-time member of the team and will have significant responsibility from day one. Your tasks will include:

• Building solutions for efficiency gains and unlocking direct value for our clients
• Structuring internal knowledge and building searchable AI-powered knowledge systems
• Analysing and mapping internal workflows (CRM, reporting, deal execution processes)
• Contributing to responsible AI usage guidelines and quality control frameworks

Benefits

As a Data Science Intern at IMPROVED you will enjoy the following benefits:

• Meaningful work from day one — no busywork, no side projects
• Direct exposure to senior bankers and leadership
• A front-row seat to an organisation-wide AI transformation
