Programme Overview

This ten-week summer internship is your chance to take a deep dive into one of the UK’s most forward-thinking finance and tech organisations.

You’ll be trusted to own a live project, get exposure to senior leaders, and develop your analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

What You’ll Do

During the internship, you could find yourself:
Analysing customer data to identify trends and growth opportunities.
Supporting fraud prevention and customer protection initiatives.
Designing creative marketing strategies to reach new audiences.
Assessing risk and return to help balance responsible lending.
Using coding, data tools, and critical reasoning to turn insight into action.
You’ll finish the summer having delivered measurable impact, sharpened your analytical toolkit, and built a strong foundation for a future graduate career in strategy or consulting.

We’d love to see:
Strong data reasoning and numeracy skills.
The ability to solve problems and communicate complex ideas clearly.
A mix of analytical thinking and creativity in how you approach challenges.
Collaborative energy — you enjoy working with others and sharing ideas.
