What you'll do

Your HSBC journey will be built upon - and thrive with - your skills.

We know how important it is to have the right skills, both for your future and ours. By building this skillset now, we’ll help you develop the agility to keep learning new skills throughout your career.

Over two years, you’ll get to:

• Rotate across the relationship banking teams within Corporate and Institutional Banking and spend time in product teams
• Work with other teams like Trade Finance, Cash Management, Capital Markets Investment Banking, and Markets and Securities Services, managing client relationships and conducting analysis on profitability, risks, and other factors involved in transactions
• Support relationship bankers and broader coverage teams across products and geographies, and work with product partners and other HSBC functions such as Legal, Credit, and Risk
• Take responsibility for researching and understanding clients for the purposes of developing business and managing risk.
• Learn how we incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations into our client solutions, ranging from sustainable supply chains to raising green bonds.
• Create client presentations for strategic meetings and pitches, prepare credit papers, analyze client information, support strategic reviews, and get involved in client planning.
• Make the most of meaningful development opportunities, focused on skills and tailored to the role you may be interested in when you complete the program

Who you are

We welcome students from all degree disciplines and backgrounds, particularly those with a passion for technology.

It takes a broad range of skills to be successful at HSBC. We're looking forward to seeing the mix of skills you’ve learned so far, and hearing about the unique perspective that you’ll bring to our teams. We’ll help you learn everything else.

To join us on this program, you’ll need to be:

• Intellectually curious and fascinated by the financial markets
• A team player who can build strong relationships, communicate effectively, and influence opinions
• A problem-solving self-starter who knows how to prioritize and manage your time effectively
• Someone who catches the details and reads the fine print. Analyzing data and situations excites you because you never stop asking, ‘Why?’

What you'll learn

We’ll help you develop the technical skills most relevant to your role. We’ll also provide plenty of opportunities to advance your non-technical skills, like communication and collaboration, that will help you move your career forward successfully.

During your time on the program, you’ll:

• Learn how to analyze a company using accounting fundamentals and benchmarking techniques
• Learn how to produce product overviews, conduct credit analysis, and create business forecasts, all while gaining valuable insights into trade finance and lending.
• Receive training in market data, and areas specific to the team you’re working with, such as market data tools and HSBC proprietary tools.
• Hone your relationship management and presentation skills, and develop your understanding of our products and services, as well as your broader market and industry knowledge.
• Have plenty of other opportunities for learning and skills development, plus people to support you along the way, ensuring you’re well prepared for the future
