Finding an English-speaking job in finance as a non-native speaker in the Netherlands is tough. This is why we previously asked a recruiter to give her top tips. Now, it’s time to show you the hard facts: these Corporate Finance and Venture Capital companies are hiring English speaking candidates! 

Get international exposure, training and guidance, and make a measurable impact – you can have all these things at Rabobank! They help both Dutch and international large corporations or other financial institutions with projects that they firmly believe in and that contribute to a more sustainable, better world. 

Join their M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions) or Equity Capital Markets (ECM) team and work with international clients on complex and relevant challenges, such as the food system transition and energy transition. Their teams have a flatter hierarchical culture than what you normally find in a large bank, and they work together on challenging, dynamic projects for well-known brands, such as Oatly!
