Project work
"I want a Pink Bag" is Banca Sella's initiative created to promote the future generation of female leaders in the financial sector, providing concrete tools to face their financial and professional growth with awareness. "I want a Pink Bag" aims to be a concrete response to the challenge of the barriers and opportunities that characterize the relationship between women and finance to accompany them on a path of development and financial autonomy. The initiatives of this path are numerous and constantly evolving: through the Project Work in the Communication organizational unit of Banca Sella, by making your know-how available, you can contribute to the creation of practical guides, video content, podcasts, events, workshops, training meetings and much more, also acquiring skills in the fields of communication, D&I and project management.
Proposal aimed at female students of undergraduate and graduate degree programmes.
The activity will be recognized as a curricular internship. Participation fee: €800 per month (fulltime)
Duration and location: 4 months – Milan in hybrid formula (presence and SW) with availability to travel to the Turin and Biella offices.
Period: from mid-January to mid-May 2026.

The project includes a three-month coaching period with the M&A team of the Group's Corporate & Investment Banking Business Line. Guided by the Managing Director and coordinated by the professional figures of the team, the resource will have the opportunity to learn and see the fundamental skills regarding financial modeling, business planning and corporate valuation applied on a day-to-day basis. She will also be involved in meetings and calls aimed at the most effective management of on-going deals, also contributing to the development of business pitches to support the team's commercial presentations.
The ultimate aim of the project is to convey the value of the relationship and relationships in a highly quantitative sector such as that of the IB. Specifically, those who work in the M&A world, in fact, must have a strong customer orientation and the ability to build partnerships based on mutual esteem and trust. If not supported by these valuable soft skills, business modeling work, even if correct, can never be effective and bring results.
