You'll gain early exposure to senior decision-makers, learn how deals are structured and executed, and develop a broad understanding of financial markets from the ground up.

• University educated, excellent communication skills, Microsoft office and AI skills.
• Commercial acumen, inquisitive, attention to detail, creative and a strong willingness to learn.
• Client focus and credit skills are a plus.
