Sales

You help a bank's salespeople look after investors and companies, bringing them trade ideas and explaining which of the bank's products fit their needs. This is an off-cycle internship in Sales, inside the Commercial & Investment Bank in London. Off-cycle means the placement starts outside the usual summer intake.

Salespeople own the relationship with each client. They listen to what a pension fund, a hedge fund or a company is trying to do, pass its orders to the traders who set the price, and suggest trades that suit it. As an intern you sit with them and do the research and preparation behind those conversations.
