You’ll join a team that helps clients trade around the world by providing working capital and risk management solutions. From deals in motion to the detail behind the paperwork, you’ll see how international trade happens in practice.

- Supporting senior colleagues with trade documentation and reporting.
What you’ll learn
We’ll give you the technical knowledge, practical experience, and professional skills you need to understand transaction banking and make an impact.
Here’s what’s in store:
- On-the-ground experience – join a dedicated team focused on either Sales or Product.
- Expert-led training – one week of structured training to sharpen your skills.
- Stakeholder engagement – work with HSBC colleagues across different business areas and learn how they collaborate.
