Who you are 

You’re curious and keen to learn. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a background in finance – what we’re looking for is someone with the ambition to explore it, the drive to make an impact, and the confidence to take on new challenges. If fast-paced environments are your thing, you thrive in a team, and you want to build real-world career experience with support every step of the way – this Graduate Programme could be for you. 

Here’s what we’re looking for: 

• Collaboration – You’re a team player who works well with people at all levels – from fellow graduates to senior bankers. You’re reliable, supportive, and ready to contribute to shared goals. 

• Analytical thinking – You enjoy working with numbers, spotting patterns, and paying attention to the details. Whether it’s reviewing data or checking for formatting issues, you’ve got a sharp eye and a methodical approach. 

• Clear communication – You can explain your ideas simply and clearly, whether you’re talking to a fellow graduate or summarising something for a senior team member. You write concise emails and can put together slides that tell a clear story. 

• Resilience – You stay positive under pressure, meet deadlines, and keep a cool head when things get busy. 

• Detail-focused – You’re committed to quality and committed to doing your best work, even when the pace picks up. 

• Ownership – You take responsibility for your tasks. You understand how your work contributes to the bigger picture, and you’re proud to do it well. 

• Relationship building – You’re friendly, professional, and good with people. You enjoy being part of a team and are keen to support the development of strong client relationships alongside more senior colleagues. 

What you’ll do 

You’ll join a specialist team, working alongside experienced colleagues. You won’t just be watching from the sidelines – you’ll be learning by doing, contributing to meaningful work, taking on responsibilities and developing skills that will stay with you throughout your career. 

Here’s what you’ll get involved in: 

• Impact from day one – You’ll work closely with a team focused on specific transactions, products or business sectors. You’ll also collaborate with banking teams across the globe to help find solutions for clients, including corporates, private equity firms, and financial institutions. 

• Experience different areas of investment banking – You’ll be placed in either Strategic Advisory, Corporate Finance or Financing Solutions depending on where your interests and our business needs align. 

• Work on live deals – See how real transactions happen in real time, and support work that makes them happen. 

• Build your understanding of financial statements – Learn how to read balance sheets, spot anomalies, and calculate key ratios using your accounting knowledge (or develop it with support if you’re new to it). 

• Create client materials – Assist in researching market conditions and preparing documents like investment memos, management presentations, and pitchbooks – the materials we use to support and advise our clients. 

• Explore how financial models work – Learn how models are used to value businesses, analyse mergers and acquisitions, and assess different types of financing. You’ll develop an understanding of techniques like discounted cash flow and leveraged buyouts. 

• Conduct research and credit analysis – Track what’s happening in the market, dig into company performance, and contribute to the creation of internal insights and client-facing materials. 

• Develop your technical toolkit – You’ll sharpen your Excel and PowerPoint skills by building error-free models and putting together polished, client-ready presentations. 

What you’ll learn 

We’ll support you with all the training and development you need to succeed. Your journey will typically begin with any local regulated training and exams. This is followed by our Global Graduate Induction, where you’ll train alongside your graduate peers. The induction provides you with an overview of HSBC, as well as an opportunity to build a global network of graduates and business colleagues, which will prove invaluable as your HSBC career unfolds. Once you’ve completed the Global Graduate Induction, you’ll take part in a global tailored training programme to build both the technical understanding and professional capability required for your role.
