Who you are
You’re naturally curious and like getting beyond the surface of a problem to understand what’s really going on. You enjoy working with numbers, spotting trends and using insight to support better decisions. You don’t need to arrive with deep finance knowledge — what matters is your willingness to learn, your analytical mindset and how you work with others. You could be a great fit if you ask thoughtful questions, communicate clearly and enjoy turning complex information into something useful and understandable. You value strong relationships, because you know trust and collaboration matter. You also reflect on your work and look for ways to improve. If you’re interested in treasury, data and how financial decisions shape a global organisation, this role could be a great place to start.
What you'll do
You’ll work with Treasury teams on analysis that helps HSBC manage liquidity, capital and risk. You could review financial data, use Python to analyse large datasets and visualise trends, and support reporting or decision-making with clearer insight. You may also explore areas such as interest rate risk, liquidity and capital management, and help identify smarter ways to improve reporting through digital tools, AI and automation. Working with colleagues across Treasury and Finance, you’ll see how analysis supports decisions that matter across the bank. It’s practical, data-led work with exposure to core treasury activity. The internship also includes structured assessments aligned to securing a graduate role, giving you chances to demonstrate how you think, collaborate and deliver, through tasks such as project work, presentations, interviews or skills-based evaluations.
What you'll learn
Across this 10-week programme, you’ll build your confidence through hands-on experience, expert training and self-led learning. You’ll deepen your understanding of treasury fundamentals such as liquidity, capital, interest rate risk and how financial resources are managed in a large global bank. You’ll also strengthen your analytical thinking by working with data, exploring trends and seeing how insight supports strategic decisions. The programme is designed to help you connect technical concepts to real business priorities, while building the professional confidence to contribute in a specialist environment. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of Treasury, stronger problem-solving skills and a better sense of how your strengths could grow in this area.
Where you'll work
You’ll work in Group Infrastructure, within Treasury teams that help manage HSBC’s financial resources and support the wider bank. It’s a specialist environment where treasury, finance and business teams work closely together on liquidity, capital and risk-related priorities. You’ll be part of a professional office culture that values analytical thinking, teamwork and clear communication. Expect a collaborative setting where technical expertise meets a broader view of how the bank operates.
