Job description

You will work with data, building skills in data analysis, business intelligence, and storytelling. You'll build a strong network across teams, developing knowledge in systems, insight and analytics, AI and coding, and data visualisation & reporting.

To enhance your training, you'll attend development workshops and collaborate with other Industrial Placement colleagues on a project aligned to our Social Impact strategy.

Our Industrial Placements offer a potential route after university into our Skills Development Programmes, making for a valuable first step into banking., They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

  • Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers' shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
  • Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think - we're honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
  • Push for better - We don't settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
  • Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes.

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.

We know applying for jobs can sometimes feel like you're sending an application into a black hole. We review each application individually. So, it's a good idea to call out your most relevant experience on your application to give yourself the best chance.
