Investment Bank (Markets) Equity Derivatives Off-cycle Internship Program London 2022
Our Off-Cycle Internship Program is a paid internship that runs for 6 months in Autumn 2022, and is open to students requiring a 6-month placement as part of their degree, or 2021-22 graduates who are interested in gaining an insight into Investment Banking Markets. As an intern you will be working with the Equity Derivatives desks and integrated as a regular member of the group. Roles will be available in Trading, Structuring and Sales; please note any specific role preference in your cover letter.
The first week consists of hands-on training, and throughout the program interns receive ongoing training and support including formal learning, on-the-job practice, and mentoring.
The program offers opportunities to meet with senior managers, colleagues and peers at all levels across the bank. You will have the opportunity to gain insights into the bank and its culture, to and build a professional network.
Your managers will work with you on objectives, and on a review process. This provides structure to your placement and gives you an outline of placement requirements and goals. This practice also gives us a tangible framework for assessing you for a full-time position. The off-cycle internship is a core hiring channel for our full-time Equity Derivatives Analyst class.
