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 the course of ten weeks, you’ll get to:

• Join one of our teams, such as Product, Sales and Client Management, Strategy, Digital and Innovation or the Chief Control Office
• Be responsible for supporting and delivering a project that will give you direct experience with – and knowledge of – our products and services
• Work directly with clients in some roles, while in others your customers may be colleagues and teams in the bank
• Spend time with our current graduates and connect with other interns to share with, and learn from, each other
• Work closely with your placement manager, direct team, intern sponsor and various other colleagues who’ll help you develop your knowledge and capabilities

Our internship is a stepping stone to our graduate programme for successful interns interested to gain more knowledge and experience in Securities Services.

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 relationship management and collaboration, that will help you move your career forward successfully.

During your time on the programme, you’ll:

• Grow your knowledge of Securities Services with the help of our support, training and practical experience
• Work alongside teams involved in custody services, investment operations, fund administration and middle office services
• Gain a valuable insight into one or two of our own products and services
• Learn how to navigate a large, global organisation, improve your communication skills, and develop capabilities in a variety of technical areas
• Develop your understanding of relationships within our Markets and Securities Services business, and how we work together to serve our clients
• Have plenty of opportunities to develop your behavioural, cognitive and technical skills, and people to support you along the way, ensuring that you’re well prepared for the future
