Help global companies grow through strategic deals, funding and advice.
About the Business Area
Corporate and Institutional Banking helps some of the world’s largest companies grow and succeed by offering investment and financial solutions. Working across markets, sectors and borders, you’ll help deliver the insight, connectivity and support that enable clients to navigate change and unlock new opportunities
Who You Are
You’re curious, motivated and open to learning in a fast-paced environment. You don’t need a finance background to start — what matters is your willingness to explore it, your drive to make an impact and your readiness to take on new challenges. You could be a great fit if you work well with others, communicate clearly and stay calm when the pace picks up. You enjoy analysing information, paying attention to detail and taking ownership of your work. You’re reliable, professional and interested in building strong working relationships. If you want to understand how deals come together, learn by doing and build skills that will stay with you long after the internship, this could be a strong fit.
What You'll Do
You’ll join an investment banking team and support live client work across Strategic Advisory, Corporate Finance or Financing Solutions. Day to day, you could research companies and market conditions, review financial statements, support credit analysis, and help prepare pitchbooks, investment memos and client presentations. You’ll also contribute to financial modelling and valuation tasks, working closely with experienced bankers to understand how deals progress from origination through to execution. Throughout the internship, you’ll collaborate across teams and geographies, balancing multiple deadlines and producing high-quality work with strong attention to detail. The internship also includes structured assessments aligned to securing a graduate role, giving you chances to demonstrate how you think, collaborate and deliver, through tasks such as project work, presentations, interviews or skills-based evaluations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Learn
You’ll build your investment banking foundation through a mix of structured training and practical learning. Starting with a week of dedicated training led by external experts, you’ll develop a stronger understanding of financial statements, valuation approaches, modelling concepts and how live deals move from idea to execution. You’ll also strengthen professional skills that matter in this environment, including communication, teamwork, attention to detail and judgement under pressure. The internship is designed to help you connect technical concepts to real client work, so the learning feels relevant from the start. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of HSBC, investment banking and where your strengths could fit in the longer term.
