At KPMG, you'll be part of a diverse and dedicated team of problem-solving professionals with a common goal: turning information into opportunities for our clients and communities around the world.

Our Operational risks team is seeking future interns ready to join us in 2026 for the following period:

• Fall 2026 (September to December 2026)

You have until January 18, 2026, 11:59 PM, to submit your application.

We are looking for undergraduate or graduate students with knowledge in financial and non-financial risk management to join the Financial Risk Management Consulting Services team as interns.

The intern will need to have strong analytical skills, excellent writing and communication abilities, proven teamwork skills, and an interest in cutting-edge digital tools.

The intern will join an expanding, dynamic and experienced team that provides advice to primarily financial sector clients. They will contribute to meaningful projects that help our clients address challenges related to managing and overseeing non-financial risks (e.g., operational risks, third-party risks, business resilience, etc.).

Your responsibilities may include:

• Supporting the team with the preparation of deliverables for mandates:
  • Project planning and tracking;
  • Drafting client presentations and reports related to the governance of non-financial risks, processes, roles, and responsibilities, etc.;
  • Reviewing and optimizing non-financial risk management processes;
  • Gathering and analyzing business requirements;
  • Developing quantitative models;
  • Supporting the implementation of e-GRC or related technological solutions;
  • Conducting data analytics using tools like PowerBI;
  • Developing monitoring metrics, benchmarks, etc.;
  • Performing documentary research (market, regulations, industry trends, benchmarks) and conducting client interviews.
• Participating in the preparation of commercial proposals (responses to RFPs, researching references, etc.).

To support strong growth, KPMG is recruiting a significant number of professionals in the financial field. You will be involved in the tactical execution of projects for clients in the financial services industry, including asset managers, pension funds, and major Canadian banks.

The intern will be expected to demonstrate their ability to:

• Quickly grasp the core concepts and issues of clients' needs and suggest solutions or improvements;
• Effectively interact with other team members and clients (both internal and external);
• Ensure that proposed business solutions align with the institution's strategic framework;
• Clearly and concisely communicate analytical results to various stakeholders.

We are looking for candidates with the following qualifications:

• An excellent academic record at the undergraduate or graduate level, preferably in fields related to management (business school, business administration), finance, or economics – other profiles will be considered;
• An excellent record of extracurricular activities (case competitions, student associations, collective initiatives, etc.);
• Strong teamwork and relationship-building skills;
• Proven ability to demonstrate initiative, judgment, and problem-solving skills;
• Proven ability to manage multiple tasks with conflicting priorities;
• Solid ability to build relationships with clients, colleagues, and community members;
• Willingness to continuously learn, acquire new skills, take on new responsibilities, and conduct research to expand knowledge;
• Relevant professional experience through which you've gained knowledge of our key sectors (an asset).

This role requires verbal and written communication skills, in both French and English. English is required because there will be daily communications with stake holders that only speak English, within and outside of Quebec which requires excellent skills in both written and spoken form. The candidate will be mandated to create documentation in both languages regularly.
