Within Visa Consulting Analytics, the Portfolio Optimization team helps banks improve the performance and growth of their payments portfolios through data‑driven strategies. The internship sits in the Central Europe group and blends client‑facing consulting work with the development of new analytical solutions. On a daily basis, the intern will assist consulting teams by researching, analysing data and preparing client deliverables. Responsibilities include creating presentations and quantitative insights, supporting the design of new Portfolio Optimization products, and helping with internal initiatives that scale the practice.

The ideal candidate shows curiosity about consulting, financial services, payments and technology, and can juggle multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment. The internship runs for 11 weeks during the summer, with two possible start dates, and offers a salary of €51,656 per year. Interns work at least three days per week in the office, receive a comprehensive benefits package, and gain exposure to client‑facing work, training, a global social impact case challenge and senior‑leader talks.
