Markets - Sales and Trading - Graduate

HSBC Global Services Limited • Full Time • Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, China • 2w ago

Area of Interest: Trading; Sales and Investments

Business Area: Corporate and Institutional Banking

Short Description: Build skills in sales and trading at the heart of global financial markets.

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

We’re looking for analytical problem-solvers who thrive in fast-paced environments and want to learn how the global financial markets work.

You could be a great fit if you’re:

Intellectually curious: You’re eager to understand what drives decisions, trends, and opportunities – and always ready to dig deeper and find out more.
A natural communicator: You can break down complex ideas, ask smart questions, and share your views confidently.
Detail-focused and analytical: You spot what others might miss, know why precision matters, and enjoy interpreting data to spot patterns and insights.
A resilient problem solver: You stay focused under pressure, prioritise what matters, and look for solutions. You’re motivated to keep learning, positive in the face of obstacles, and ready to tackle new challenges head-on.
Adaptable: You’re open to new ideas, tools, and ways of working – because financial markets don’t stand still.
A team player: You build trusted relationships and collaborate well with others to learn and grow.

What you’ll do

During your programme, you’ll gain exposure and rotate between Sales and Trading desks, seeing how both sides work together to help clients succeed.

Early starts and a fast pace – you’ll work around market hours, with the busiest moments often at market open and close.

Get hands-on with data and global market dynamics: Analyse market trends, spot patterns, collect and present data, contribute to reports, help support client pitches, and maintain trading and sales performance records.
Contribute to real projects that strengthen client relationships and trading strategies.
Work with our Trading and Sales teams to support client portfolios and learn about key asset classes like foreign exchange, emerging market rates, commodities, global debt markets, equities, and securities financing.
Build tools and finance models using Excel, VBA, or Python to support trading and sales activity.
Regularly use the industry platforms we rely on like Bloomberg, Reuters, and HSBC’s own tools that keep global markets moving.
Build a strong foundation in financial products and how they’re used.
Manage risk and profitability while helping clients make smart decisions.

What you’ll learn

We’ll support you with all the training and development you need to succeed. Your journey will typically begin with any local regulated training and exams. This is followed by our Global Graduate Induction, where you’ll train alongside your graduate peers. The induction provides you with an overview of HSBC, as well as an opportunity to build a global network of graduates and business colleagues, which will prove invaluable as your HSBC career unfolds. Once you’ve completed the Global Graduate Induction, you’ll take part in a global tailored training programme to build both the technical understanding and professional capability required for your role.
