Who you are

You’re naturally curious and like getting beyond the surface of a problem to understand what’s really going on.

By the end, you’ll have a stronger grasp of treasury fundamentals and how they shape major business decisions.

Where you'll work

You’ll work in Group Infrastructure, within Treasury teams that help manage HSBC’s financial resources across the bank. It’s a specialist environment where colleagues across treasury, finance and wider business functions work together on liquidity, capital and risk-related priorities. You’ll be part of a professional office culture that values analytical thinking, collaboration and clear communication.
