This graduate programme is designed for candidates interested in loan syndication, portfolio management, credit analysis and corporate finance.

Relevant finance, economics, mathematics, business or related study is advantageous, although Standard Chartered may consider graduates from diverse disciplines.

The role may involve analysing borrowers and transactions, supporting syndicated lending decisions, monitoring portfolio risk, preparing reports and working with relationship managers, product specialists and institutional investors.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Analyst jobs are degree level: the employer sponsors you at GBP 41,700 or the job's going rate if higher (finance analysts about GBP 45,800).
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: A lower floor of GBP 33,400 applies in some cases, such as new entrants. The employer must hold a sponsor licence and you need a confirmed job offer first.
