If you want to make a difference at Standard Chartered, we want to hear from you.

We're looking for ambition, open mindedness, intellectual agility and an interest in world affairs. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is simple - we want to get the best out of the broadest spectrum of people to sustain strong business performance and competitive advantage.

Are you a people person?
Banking is a people business - at its core is the trust you build with your clients and colleagues. Your ability to develop effective networks across continents will make the difference between a good career and a great career.

Can you stretch our thinking?
Do you have the ability to anticipate new situations and learn from new experiences? We will encourage you to think outside the box, problem solve and use your insight to challenge the way we do things.

Will you thrive on challenges?
Do you enjoy juggling many different tasks at a time? We're looking for people with high levels of energy and enthusiasm to work in a fast-paced and productive environment.

Do you share our values?
Every day we are responsive, trustworthy, creative, international and courageous. These values set us apart from our competitors and fuel our success. If you recognise, respect and share our values, the Standard Chartered International Graduate Programme could be the right career option for you.
