About the Role

In Large Corporate Coverage (LC), we manage complex and demanding clients who are global in outlook. These customers are highly active and fully leverage HSBC’s Global reach. It is our goal to support the growth of our clients in the UK and across all the countries they operate in. Our overall aim is to deliver sustainable and profitable growth, be the strategic banking partner of choice for our clients and be one of the best places to work thus creating a culture that is reflective of both our customers and society as a whole.

To meet our client’s complex needs, our regular interaction focusses not only on building and strengthening the client relationship, but also on the strategic direction of their business and how LC can support them in achieving their planned objectives and aspirations.

The Associate Director role is a vital team member within of the overall client relationship team, where you will work closely with Relationship Directors, enabling them to meet the needs of our clients.

Our clients will typically have a turnover of more than £350m and look to the Relationship Team to support them with their complex business needs through tailor made solutions, whilst ensuring we are treating our customers fairly and in the right way.

Key Responsibilities

In this role you’ll:

  • Actively participating in and contributing to client meetings and external events, supporting the development of and strengthening of mutually beneficial customer relationships
  • Conducting credit reviews as well as supporting the relationship team with credit analysis and the structuring of facilities, ensuring focus is given to minimising credit risk
  • Supporting key product partners i.e., Global Payment Solutions (GPS), Global Trade Solutions (GTS) and Global Markets (GM) to ensure the needs of our existing customers are met and new, prospective customers are identified
  • Arranging financial presentations, including MI, client research, credit analysis and pricing approvals to create additional growth opportunities
  • Ensuring your knowledge of developments within specific industries and the economy is up to date and you use current market intelligence to support robust and interactive client conversations
  • Preparing supporting documentation to present at relevant bank committees

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
