A Career in Banking
SUMMARY: By their very nature project roles can span across any area of the bank and cover any number of the products. They are varied and take into account both strategic and tactical issues. You will be expected to work to deadlines and must be highly organised, but in return you will gain a thorough understanding of more than one business area and the workings of an investment bank. This is the ideal role for candidates that like to problem solve, use their analytical skills and 'add value'. Those candidates with strong systems skills will excel in this area.
BACKGROUND: You will need strong academics and have shown evidence of being able to project manage. The ability to multi-task and work under pressure is a must, along with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
CAREER PROGRESSION: A number of career avenues are available to you. Business re-engineering, strategy and longer-term CFO roles.
