Who You Are

We’re looking for people who enjoy building connections and solving complex problems, and want to make a real impact in global payments. You don’t need to know everything about transaction banking—bring your curiosity and drive, and we’ll help with the rest.

• Natural collaborator: Enjoy working closely with colleagues at all levels and across teams to deliver the right solution.
• Effective communicator: Able to explain ideas clearly, both in writing and conversation, even when things get technical.
• Ownership mindset: Take pride in your work, stay motivated, and remain accountable.
• Eager to learn: Interested in how financial services and technology evolve—and how clients benefit from innovation.
• Analytical thinker: Look for smarter ways of working, use data to support your ideas, and aim to create better client experiences.
• People person: Enjoy building relationships and learning from others to develop your own authentic style.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be part of a specialist team focused on a specific product area while gaining exposure across other parts of the business. This is a hands-on role.

• Join one of our core teams—Sales, Product Management, Client Management, Business Management, or Chief Control Office—and help solve real client problems.
• Learn how we match the right financial products to the right clients, including payment tools, cards, and liquidity solutions.
• Help ensure our services meet international compliance requirements and local regulations.
• Discover how we use AI, APIs, Cloud, and automation to improve client services.
• Contribute to internal work, such as creating dashboards, supporting PowerPoint presentations, and assisting senior team members with key client-facing materials.
• Support efforts that help HSBC remain competitive in global payment trends, such as real-time payments and virtual accounts.

What You’ll Learn

• Structured onboarding: In week one, you’ll take part in a tailored training programme to build both your technical understanding and professional skills.
• Technical product knowledge: Develop a working knowledge of core financial solutions, including:
  • Liquidity and Investment products: Tools to optimise balance sheets and forecast cash flow.
  • Payments: Solutions to move money domestically and globally, including real-time and omnichannel tools.
  • Cards: Tools to help clients manage and monitor corporate spending.
• Broader exposure: Learn from cross-functional teams across HSBC.
