Why Work for Us

"Standard Chartered is a strengths-based organisation…what you need is raw talent, the eagerness and ability to learn and show initiative, lots of drive and lots of enthusiasm - that is what helps you convey your strengths. It's a people-focused organisation, so you do need some communicative and networking skills because you very much have to make your own path."

It's always hard to say what you expect when you apply for a job. I knew I was going into Wholesale Banking, but I was aware that there are many different aspects to it. I'm in Fund Management which I didn't know very much about before I started and in terms of the general Internship Programme and what I've learnt, I would say it has probably exceeded my expectations!

"We provide the solutions that allow corporates and institutions to realise their aspirations sooner, rather than later, through managing everything from cross-border trade through to investment and advisory. By virtue of our history and relationships in Asia, Africa and the Middle East we open trade corridors between nations and enable business to get done on an international scale. You will see this first hand, and witness how this brings our clients' strategies to fruition."

"I think that the people who work in Consumer Banking make it special. The passion and dedication to providing outstanding customer service at all levels of interaction is absolutely amazing. Our people are the 'face' of the Bank."

"Prior to my role in GTO, Europe I was working in Consumer Banking in India where I had diverse roles, from relationship management, to managing telesales centres, to product management. Standard Chartered gave me the flexibility to try out new roles, constantly learn and take up new challenges."

"My career at Standard Chartered has spanned nine years. I have worked in Kenya and London, in Consumer Banking, Human Resources and Corporate Affairs. There are a lot of opportunities at Standard Chartered and career paths are not rigid."

"Standard Chartered is very diverse and very positive in its outlook... it's a great place, very vibrant and everybody is so accessible and approachable."
