Global Markets Summer Internship

Your Role

Do you want to help our clients buy and sell equities, foreign currencies, interest rates and credit with a view to improving returns to their investors? On our rotational summer internship you'll get exposure to both Sales & Trading across Global Markets to gain first-hand experience of working on a trading floor.

As a Sales Person, you will:

• Help our clients buy and sell financial instruments;
• Be promoting products and trading opportunities to clients based on an in-depth understanding of their needs and investment styles;
• Be giving clients information about what’s happening in the markets and offering trades at the best prices.

As a trader, you will:

• Distil market moving information to inform decisions across the Global Markets business;
• Buy and sell equities, FX, interest rates and credit and derivatives on behalf of the client & UBS;
• Seek the best prices to execute our clients’ sales orders; &
• Make markets in listed and over-the-counter asset classes.

There are additional commercially focused roles within Global Markets, which, while not specifically dealing with, or advising on transactions in financial instruments, are core to the operation of the business, by:

• Connecting with clients through UBS platform ecosystems;
• Improving data and analytics capabilities to enhance decision-making, in order to deliver relevant insights and solutions to clients; &
• Delivering scalable, cost-effective solutions to Global Markets businesses and clients.

Your Team

You’ll be working in the Global Markets team, looking after professional investors. You’ll give them advice and do everything that’s needed to buy and sell financial instruments for them, from start to finish.

You’ll be able to draw on the strength of our platforms, products, services and people worldwide to give your clients whatever they need.

Your Expertise

You need to be in the penultimate or final year of your studies and be on track for a 2.1 (UK grading system) or equivalent in your first undergraduate / bachelor degree.

It doesn’t matter what you’re studying (really, it doesn’t.), but we’d like to see evidence that you can:

• Analyse a problem, take a view and come to a decision;
• Plan, organize and communicate well;
• Stick with a task;
• Make things happen;
• Work in a team; &
• Demonstrate an interest in and understanding of financial services.

Perhaps you’ve organised a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or persevered and passed an exam in a subject you found challenging? Think about how things you’ve achieved match the skills we’re after.

Your Program

On this 10 week summer program, you’ll be a real part of the team, working with our experts and learning about the industry, our clients, our firm and a specific area of it. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts. And if you impress us, we might invite you to join our Graduate Talent Program once you’ve graduated.
