Short Description
Help clients grow, manage wealth and achieve ambitions through trusted relationships
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 someone who enjoys building relationships, understanding client needs and working with others to deliver the right solutions. You’ll thrive if you’re curious, collaborative and comfortable balancing people-focused work with detailed analysis. You’ll need strong communication skills, relationship-building ability, teamwork, adaptability, attention to detail and the confidence to take ownership of tasks. An interest in client businesses, financial solutions and cross-functional teamwork will help you succeed, as you’ll work with specialist teams and support presentations, reviews and risk-related work. You don’t need prior banking experience or to know every product from day one — we’ll help you build that knowledge through training and hands-on experience. What matters most is your mindset, your willingness to learn and your ability to build trust.
What you'll do
You’ll work with Relationship Managers and specialist teams to support corporate and institutional clients. From the start, you’ll help build an understanding of each client’s business, priorities and growth plans, and see how HSBC brings together the right expertise to support them. You could help prepare client presentations, reports and credit papers, support strategic reviews and pitches, and carry out financial analysis and risk assessments on portfolios and transactions. You’ll also work with colleagues across Legal, Credit and Risk, and see how teams collaborate across functions and geographies to deliver tailored solutions. It’s a practical introduction to relationship-led banking, where you’ll learn by contributing to real client work.
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.
