Why the Risk Internship program?

Barclays is a global force in banking, and Risk at Barclays is involved in every single transaction, every product, every service and every decision Barclays makes across the full suite of transatlantic banking operations. With 3,000 people working in Risk worldwide, the sheer scale of our operation gives us unrivalled exposure, insight and breadth of experience. We're always adapting to meet the evolving needs of our customers, clients, and the business itself, staying ahead of changes in both the financial and tech worlds.

That makes Risk an exciting, complex and constantly evolving place to build a varied and rewarding career.

Working in Risk, you'll develop a solid understanding of Barclays' products and services, as well as the different risks involved - from credit and market risks to operational, climate, and treasury risks. So you'll gain knowledge of different business areas and their importance to the bank, and develop the skills to manage risk in a way that supports Barclays' strategy.

Far from being a function that's only called on in times of need, Risk has a seat at the table where strategy is formed, innovations are born, and world-class solutions are created. It's a fantastic opportunity for everyone, at every level, to make a real impact as we drive growth and protect the future of Barclays.

Ideally, you'll have studies within Risk Management or a related field. But it's not just about academics - we're looking for someone who's resourceful, team-oriented, and full of energy. You'll have shown your entrepreneurial spirit through extracurriculars, side projects, or leadership roles, and you're the kind of person who sees opportunity where others see routine.

The location for this role is indicated in the job title, and you will be based at that location. If you are successful in receiving a return offer to our graduate program, your location will be the same as it was during your internship.
