Future Leaders Development Programme – Risk
Competitive base salary of £36,000, plus a joining award of £8,000
If you’re looking for amazing views, remarkable insights and incredible prospects, you’re in the right place. The Barclays Future Leaders Development Programme helps the most ambitious professionals make it to the top of the financial services world - a place where they can see more and be more. For high-performing graduates who have already embarked on their careers, this is an excellent opportunity to use those skills and experience within a development programme that has been created specifically to create the Future Leaders of Barclays.
The programme
Within Financial Services, risk can be defined as the probability that a credit, market or operational decision or process could result in financial or reputation loss. Every commercial activity comes with a risk, and knowing which risks are worth taking in pursuit of sustainable growth is what plays an important part in increasing the value of our business.
The programme provides the opportunity to experience a wide range of roles and gain the skills that will make you an exceptional Risk professional and an emerging leader at Barclays. You will learn best-in-class analytical techniques that test and manage risk in all its different forms, and over time you will gain a valuable insight into the key drivers of profit and loss. Importantly Risk is not simply about understanding numbers and data; you will need to get to grips with the implications to the business, from a whole range of different perspectives – be it the business, the operations, processes or even people.
There are many different projects that you could get involved in. You could be supporting retail credit risk initiatives through advanced analytics and credit risk management. You could be leading credit risk management for cases up to £500k, which involves everything from identifying the customer risks to developing case strategies and presenting proposals. You could even work on product strategy and marketing spend optimisation; and provide analytical expertise for recruitment campaigns across Europe.
Who we look for
How far do you want to take your career? If your answer is anything other than ‘to the top’ then there’s a good chance this isn’t quite the programme for you. We can help you gain the skills, expertise and insight you need to lead - but only if you have the strength of ambition, unwavering focus and raw potential to do so. It goes without saying that your academic record will be of the highest order (a minimum 2:1 and 300 UCAS points to be precise). But what we’re really interested in is your potential, which is why we’ve identified key behavioural sets that mark out our future leaders. We will look at your ability to inspire and collaborate with others, to be bold and drive change, and to see the business through our customers’ eyes.
