Internship Overview

⏱ Time Commitment: Full-time

This programme gives you an inside view of how global markets work.

Roles & Responsibilities

As an intern you’ll be trusted with real tasks from day one. Examples include:

Supporting relationship managers to prepare client pitches and market updates.
Assisting traders with market data analysis, trade execution support and risk reporting.
Helping structure teams build and price innovative products, using both modelling tools and commercial judgment.
Researching macro, FX, credit, ESG, commodities or geopolitical themes to produce insights for internal stakeholders.
Contributing to community initiatives and bank-wide networking events to broaden your understanding of global finance.
