Standard Chartered
We’re an international bank, nimble enough to act, big enough for impact. For more than 170 years, we’ve worked to make a positive difference for our clients, communities, and each other. We’re where 83,000 in over 50 markets around the world come together with ambition and a strong sense of accountability. We question the status quo, love a challenge, and enjoy finding new opportunities to grow and do better than before.
If you’re looking for a career with purpose and you want to work for a bank making a difference, we want to hear from you.
When you work with us, you can access all sorts of opportunities. Working with, and learning from, colleagues who are passionate about the work they do, just like you. You’re in the driving seat of your career and the shape it takes.
What opportunities are you offering?
We run a graduate programme, starting in July each year. You’ll enjoy exposure to different business functions, get on-the-job training, while working on meaningful projects and networking with senior leaders to enable you to grow your career in the direction you want to go.
We also offer summer internships, starting in June each year. These internships are a pipeline for our graduate programme, so could be the start of a high-flying career with us. Over eight weeks you’ll get to know our business, develop your skills via on-the-job and classroom based training, hear from our senior leadership team and work on a high profile project with your fellow interns.
In April each year we also offer a Spring Week programme for motivated first year students (or second year of a four year degree). In addition to our formal programmes, we also offer virtual work experience to give students a taste of some of our roles. You can currently step into the world of a Credit Analyst, by completing various tasks that replicate the role, in your own time. Watch this space for more virtual work experience programmes coming soon!
Why Bright Network students?
You don’t have to be a ‘numbers person’ to do well here. In fact, your background and what you’ve studied isn’t that important to us - it’s what you do with it that counts. We offer a huge variety of early careers pathways, from traditional investment banking, to HR, marketing and technology.
What would your ideal candidate look like?
Bring your energy and enthusiasm, and we’ll give you the freedom, support and opportunities to grow a meaningful career. Students need to share our valued behaviours as they shape our culture and reflect what we expect of ourselves and each other: do the right thing, never settle and better together.
What are the perks of working for your company?
Our early careers programmes are perfect for students who relish working in a dynamic, global environment, with an inclusive culture. One that celebrates our unique diversity across teams, business functions and geographies. We also offer competitive salaries that fully reflect your skills and experience.
