Intern - FP&A Capital Planning

What's the role?

We are preparing Finance for a more disciplined, investor‑grade future and this internship sits at the centre of that work. You will help define what “ready” looks like for HERE’s Finance organisation for investor-grade readiness and corporate governance perspective, and leave behind a concrete framework the team can execute on. This is a hands‑on, research‑driven role with direct exposure to senior Finance leaders, not a shadowing assignment. 

• Assess core FP&A processes , planning cycles, forecasting, management reporting and assess how they stack up against investor‑grade expectations in areas such as transparency, consistency and controls
• Build standardized, process artefacts: process maps, RACI/role definitions, key controls descriptions and high level roadmaps for critical finance processes. 

• Consolidate your findings into a structured readiness framework and narrative that Finance can use as a baseline for strengthening financial discipline and preparing for future interactions 

• Use a research‑first approach, combining external data (public filings, transaction case studies, analyst reports) with internal stakeholder interviews across among others, FP&A, Treasury, Internal Audit, Legal. 

• Identify documentation, governance and control gaps in priority areas (for example internal controls, long‑term planning, treasury, investor communications support) and define what “good” should look like 

Over 8–12 weeks (or longer), you will leave behind a clear, practical starting point for “organizational readiness for investor‑grade operations” in Finance – something that outlasts the internship 

Who are you?

We are looking for candidates who are currently enrolled in a Master’s degree in Finance or a closely related field (e.g. Business with strong finance content, Economics, Accounting & Control), or MBA candidates with a strong finance focus.

What you Bring:

• You are comfortable analysing complex financial and operational data, and can translate it into clean, structured outputs (models, bridge analyses, dashboards, slide narratives).You have worked on ambiguous, loosely defined problems before and know how to turn them into clear hypotheses, workplans and deliverables.
