The Global Banking and Markets Finance team works in partnership with the business to provide relevant financial analysis, improve the efficiency of its financial processes, manage local, regional and global regulatory changes, and oversee a strong control environment.
This is a large business area with a global network and many different responsibilities. As a result, we can offer you an extensive and very varied range of career options in roles that are strategic, analytical and with visible global benefits.
Our departments
We have opportunities in a variety of departments:
Product Control participates in due diligence processes, examines risk, performs independent price verification and carries out balance sheet analysis, reconciliation and substantiation.
Business Information, Planning and Analysis provides global management information for Global Banking and Markets aligned to the current business framework.

Operational Risk and Internal Control (ORIC) ensures that the control environment front to back is robust to mitigate Global Banking and Markets’ exposures to operational risk losses. It performs root cause analysis on losses and follows up on individual mitigating actions as well as performing thematic reviews on cross business line issues such as trade capture.

Global Infrastructure – GBM Finance Analyst
The two main elements of the Global Banking and Markets Finance Analyst programme are the two-year, four-rotation programme, coupled with studying towards the ACA qualification.
Your four six-month rotations will include exposure across the various departments. This is a UK-based programme; however there may be opportunities to pursue careers across the globe after completing the programme and gaining experience in the UK.
This is a culture where hard work is expected, but one where you will receive significant ongoing support – both from your line manager and the wider team.
This hard work, coupled with the focus on study will provide you with worthwhile results, both professionally and personally. We look for tenacious, adaptable, bright and personable people who are able to network across the business.
Summer Analyst Programme
The HSBC Summer Analyst Programme lasts for 10 weeks and is designed for ambitious penultimate year university students. This is a non-rotational programme taking place predominantly in our main hubs: London, New York, Hong Kong and Dubai. Our extensive range of opportunities covers all areas of Global Banking, Global Markets, Global Research, all areas of Global Infrastructure, HTS GBM Technology, Global Asset Management and Global Private Banking.
Whichever discipline you choose, the programme will act as a comprehensive introduction to that area of the Bank. Your programme will provide you with the platform to be considered for our full-time Global Businesses Analyst Programme (GBAP). You will have the opportunity to show your genuine potential and develop the behaviours, skills and experience essential to enjoy a long-term career with us at HSBC.
The programme will comprise hands-on experience, excellent technical, behavioural and IT skills training and the opportunity to form very important networks with peers and business leaders alike. Just as importantly, each programme will act as an introduction to the culture and values of HSBC.
Taking all of these elements collectively, the HSBC Summer Analyst programme acts as an extended 'assessment centre' for people looking to join HSBC as a Full-Time Analyst once they finish university.
