Risk (Closed)

If you're the kind of person who isn't afraid to put themselves out there, then you're the kind of person we're looking for. Risk management – the careful consideration of risk versus reward – is at the heart of banking.

As part of a team that leads the bank in developing and defining our sustainable risk strategies across a range of key departments you will help us find right strategy which will protect us from economic threats and minimise losses, while also identifying opportunities to maximise profits and gain an advantage over our competitors.

We want you to surprise yourself. To uncover talents you didn't know you had. To be even more exceptional than you already knew you were. And so during the scheme, a series of personal development modules will be available enabling you to enhance your commercial awareness as well as your interpersonal skills for the future. All Risk interns receive hands-on experience and on-the-job learning in your team, as well as regular feedback to help you develop. You will have real-life work to build your business skills.

As an intern on the Risk Programme you could be based in either London, Manchester or Milton Keynes.

To join the programme you will need:

• To currently be an undergraduate – either in your second year at university, or third year if yours is a four-year course
• A minimum of 280 UCAS points or equivalent and to be on course for a 2:1 or equivalent in Maths, Statistics, Sciences, Engineering or Economics. Along with having a passion for business analysis, you’ll need exceptional numerical reasoning skills and the ability to communicate complex analysis to a non-technical audience

You will also ideally have:

• A minimum of one position of responsibility held at university or school (e.g. Vice-President of a society, Team Captain, Secretary, Treasurer etc.)
• A minimum of two months' customer-related work experience. This could include face-to-face or telephone contact with the public/customers/clients. It can be part-time or voluntary and need not be over a continuous two month period
