Who You Are

We’re looking for curious, thoughtful individuals who want to explore how their skills could fit into a career in Corporate and Institutional Banking. You don’t need any prior finance experience—just the right mindset and a genuine interest in learning.

You could be a great fit if you’re:

• Intellectually curious: Fascinated by how things work and keen to understand what’s driving decisions, trends, and opportunities.
• A natural team player: Enjoy working with others, building strong relationships, and communicating clearly. Comfortable sharing your views and listening to different perspectives.
• A problem-solver: Proactive, good at managing your time, and able to prioritise tasks.
• Detail-focused: Spot small things that others might miss.
• Analytical by nature: Enjoy digging into data, asking smart questions, and figuring out the “why” behind what you see.

What You’ll Do

During the insight day, you’ll explore how you can make an impact—and how HSBC can support your ambitions.

Here’s an overview of what you’ll experience:

• Step inside the action: See how teams build relationships with clients, and how they support them with everything from sustainable finance to risk management.
• See collaboration in action: Discover how Relationship Managers partner with teams across Trade Finance, Cash Management, Investment Banking, Capital Markets, and Markets and Securities Services to help clients succeed.
• Explore real-world challenges: Learn how profitability and risk are considered as solutions are tailored to client needs.
• Bring data to life: Take part in interactive activities where you’ll analyse information, contribute to presentations, and start thinking like one of the team.
• Hear from those who’ve done it: Meet people doing these jobs day-to-day—from graduates to senior leaders—and learn how they started.

Do well and enjoy your time with us, and you could secure a place on one of our internships.
