Relationship Management - Corporate and Institutional Banking - Internship

Area of Interest: Relationship Management

Business Area: Corporate and Institutional Banking

Short Description: Help clients grow, manage wealth and achieve ambitions through trusted relationships

About the business area

Corporate and Institutional Banking helps some of the world’s largest companies grow and succeed by offering investment and financial solutions. Working across markets, sectors and borders, you’ll help deliver the insight, connectivity and support that enable clients to navigate change and unlock new opportunities

Who you are

You’re someone who enjoys building relationships, understanding client needs and working with others to deliver the right solutions. You’ll thrive if you’re curious, collaborative and comfortable balancing people-focused work with detailed analysis. You’ll need strong communication skills, relationship-building ability, teamwork, adaptability, attention to detail and the confidence to take ownership of tasks. An interest in client businesses, financial solutions and cross-functional teamwork will help you succeed, as you’ll work with specialist teams and support presentations, reviews and risk-related work. You don’t need prior banking experience or to know every product from day one — we’ll help you build that knowledge through training and hands-on experience. What matters most is your mindset, your willingness to learn and your ability to build trust.

What you'll do

You’ll work with Relationship Managers and specialist teams to support corporate and institutional clients. From the start, you’ll help build an understanding of each client’s business, priorities and growth plans, and see how HSBC brings together the right expertise to support them. You could help prepare client presentations, reports and credit papers, support strategic reviews and pitches, and carry out financial analysis and risk assessments on portfolios and transactions. You’ll also work with colleagues across Legal, Credit and Risk, and see how teams collaborate across functions and geographies to deliver tailored solutions. It’s a practical introduction to relationship-led banking, where you’ll learn by contributing to real client work.

What you'll learn

You’ll begin with any required regulated training and exams, followed by HSBC’s Global Graduate Induction and a tailored learning journey for relationship management. Through that support, you’ll build your understanding of corporate and institutional clients, banking products, and how relationship teams work with specialists across the bank. You’ll learn how to connect client needs with the right solutions, strengthen your commercial judgement, and develop the communication skills needed to work confidently with different stakeholders. The programme also helps you build a global network of peers and colleagues, so you won’t be learning in isolation. By the end, you’ll have the technical grounding and professional confidence to grow in a client-facing banking career.

Where you'll work

You’ll work in Corporate and Institutional Banking, in a relationship-led environment supporting global corporate and institutional clients. You’ll be part of a team that works closely with product specialists and partner functions across the bank, creating a broad and connected view of client coverage. It’s a collaborative office environment where strong relationships, commercial awareness and teamwork are central. You’ll gain exposure to a culture that is fast-paced, international and built around delivering for clients together.
