HSBC and you

What you can expect

Our end-to-end Securities Services business is dedicated to creating tailored services for clients worldwide, which include asset owners and managers, banks and broker dealers and corporates. HSBC Securities Services enables Interns to be placed in teams ranging from Digital & Data through to Sales, providing you with a unique opportunity to develop your skills and network, and set you up for future success within HSBC Securities Services.

For ten weeks, you’ll be part of our team, learning how we deliver regional and international services and handle end-to-end transactions in a way that protects our clients’ interests. You will work with peers and specialists to develop your skills and broaden your knowledge of securities services and how to offer a better client service in a world that is more regulated and competitively challenging than ever.

What will you do

You will gain insight into a number of areas such as custody services, investment operations, fund administration, middle office services, and issuer services. Training and industry advice will be available throughout your internship. As long as you show dedication, a hunger for new challenges and an open mind, you will have the opportunity to go far.

There will be plenty of people around to support you. You’ll be assigned a line manager and buddy, who will be on hand to offer advice and guidance, and provide a sounding-board for your ideas. There will be many opportunities to develop your network of contacts within HSS and beyond.

Learning and Development

We take your learning and development seriously so that you get the most out of your internship. Your time with us will begin with a one-week induction and training that will give you an overview of HSBC, our business and culture, and how HSS fits into the overall structure. After this, your placement will provide you with a combination of practical experience and classroom training. This will help you to develop your technical skills and give you a detailed insight into our markets.

At the beginning of your internship, you’ll be set measurable objectives and receive feedback throughout the 10 weeks. There will be many people you can call on for support and guidance.

There will be regular business and social events to attend so you can build a network of contacts, which will prove invaluable to you in the future.

We offer a market-competitive pay and benefits package according to your role and location.
