Finance and Treasury Internship

We welcome students from all degree disciplines and backgrounds, not just those who’ve studied finance-related degrees, or those who have knowledge of banking.

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.

We’re looking for motivated and dedicated people who are:

• Curious learners: Showing a determination to learn about the financial concepts of our balance sheet will be essential in building a successful career with us. It’s all about picking up the basics quickly, becoming an expert and being able to advise knowledgeably
• Analytical problem solvers: The financial industry is changing rapidly so you need to be courageous and proactive when analysing complex data and finding the meaning behind the numbers, using your passion for innovation to identify better solutions and do things differently
• Relationship builders: Whether you’re looking to build rapport with your team or help advise a business, you’ll need to be able to network, read people well and encourage mutual respect in sometimes high-pressured environments. This means building reliable relationships and ensuring people can count on you
• Empathetic communicators: You listen to understand the situation to provide a considered contribution

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. In addition, you’ll hone your presenting skills, ensuring you're well prepared for the future.
