Who you are

You're curious, analytical, and love figuring out the why behind the numbers. You enjoy solving problems, spotting patterns, and turning data into ideas that make a real difference. You don't need to arrive knowing every financial concept – bring your curiosity, motivation, and problem-solving mindset, and we'll help you learn the rest.

You could be a great fit if you're:

• Curious by nature: You're always eager to learn something new to level up how you think and work.
• An analytical thinker: You enjoy breaking down complex problems, looking at them from every angle, and finding smart, logical solutions.
• A people person: You know how to build trust and great relationships – and how they help you get things done.
• An effective communicator: You can explain complex ideas clearly, adapting your style for different audiences.
• Self-aware: You reflect on your choices so you can do even better next time – whether you're analysing data or collaborating with colleagues.

What you'll do

Here's a taste of what you'll work on:

• Get into the detail: Analyse complex financial data to inform big business decisions and boost performance.

What you'll learn

Over 10 weeks, you'll join a specific finance team and see first-hand how business analysis drives decision-making at HSBC. You'll get stuck in from day one, working on projects that have a real impact.
