Some of the most influential jobs in European finance are not in London or Frankfurt, but in Luxembourg, inside the institutions that fund and stabilise the EU economy. Right now there are 13 roles open across three of them: the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). They span investment, law, compliance, risk, artificial intelligence, engineering and health, from financing deep tech and clean energy to representing the EU bank before the Court of Justice. Twelve are professional positions and one is an AI focused internship, and several close within days.
These are salaried roles at major EU institutions, not volunteering placements, so the return is a serious career at the heart of European finance rather than a stipend. Deadlines run from 31 July 2026, with a number of roles open on a rolling basis. Below is every role, with what you would actually do and when it closes.
