Information Security & Cross-Functional Collaboration - **Handling Highly Confidential Intelligence:** Operating within the FCC and Legal ecosystems will train interns in the strict data privacy protocols required when handling sensitive data, suspicious activity triggers, and legally protected information. - **Agile Operational Support:** Assisting both the Investigations team and the broader Compliance & Legal division on ad-hoc research tasks will expose them to different facets of corporate governance, developing their ability to pivot between tasks under tight operational deadlines. ## Prerequisites - **Field of Study:** Law, Legal Studies, Criminology, Banking & Finance, Business Administration, Risk Management, or Data Analytics. - **Technical Skills:** Proficient in Google Workspace (e.g., Sheets, Docs, Drive) with strong data manipulation skills (e.g., VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, data filtering) to manage high-volume screening queues and data collation. - **Soft Skills:** High attention to detail (crucial for spotting anomalies during alert triage), strong analytical thinking, and the ability to handle highly confidential financial/legal data with discretion. - Available from June/July and able to commit on a full-time basis for 6 months. _About HL Bank Singapore_ HL Bank Singapore is the Singapore branch of Hong Leong Bank, a premier regional financial services leader headquartered in Malaysia with a rich heritage of over 120 years.
