BANK OVERVIEW

BNP Paribas is a leading bank in Europe with an international reach. It operates in 68 countries and has more than 193,000 employees, including nearly 148,000 in Europe. The Group has key positions in its three main activities: Domestic Markets and International Financial Services (whose retail-banking networks and financial services are covered by Retail Banking & Services) and Corporate & Institutional Banking, which serves two client franchises: corporate clients and institutional investors. The Group helps all its clients (individuals, community associations, entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporates and institutional clients) to realise their projects through solutions spanning financing, investment, savings and protection insurance.

In Europe, the Group has four domestic markets (Belgium, France, Italy and Luxembourg) and BNP Paribas Personal Finance is the European leader in consumer lending. BNP Paribas is rolling out its integrated retail-banking model in Mediterranean countries, in Turkey, in Eastern Europe and a large network in the western part of the United States. In its Corporate & Institutional Banking and International Financial Services activities, BNP Paribas also enjoys top positions in Europe, a strong presence in the Americas as well as a solid and fast-growing business in Asia-Pacific.

As one of the world’s pre-eminent banking groups – and the first ever French bank to set down roots in the UK in 1867 – the breadth and depth of our presence across the country means BNP Paribas is able provide UK companies and investors access to a full global suite of products and solutions in Europe and worldwide. This, combined with our long-term commitment to the UK, is what truly distinguishes BNP Paribas from other international banks operating in the country.

BUSINESS AREA/DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Technology touches every part of BNP Paribas and underpins every deal we make. Our Technology teams are responsible for developing, implementing, operating and maintaining cutting-edge applications used across the business. Their key objective is to apply expertise in technology to business problems and deliver high-quality, practical solutions. That could mean developing new applications for our trading floors, supporting our traders and sales operations teams with their IT platform, setting up the infrastructure for a new office, or working with colleagues in other functions to develop tools to enhance our e-commerce, risk measurement, pricing and trade processing applications.

Understanding complex technology is one aspect, but a firm grasp of business issues is also essential. You could be working closely with our trading floor to develop the software that enables them to make the split second decisions that our business is founded on, or using your creativity and initiative to enhance or support our state-of-the-art systems and databases. Whatever the task, our technologists work in a fast-moving environment where solutions move from concept to implementation in weeks and months rather than years.

IT SUMMER INTERNSHIP

This programme is an excellent opportunity to learn about a specific area in our IT department. It begins with a week of professional training to help enhance your technical and professional skills, before being allocated to a desk for the duration of the programme.

The opportunity

From the outset you will be actively involved in live projects which could cover application development, product implementation, business and technical analysis, whilst collaborating with local and global teams. You will also attend workshops, including interactive case studies, networking and social events, meet team members and colleagues from across IT and the wider Bank, and work on individual and team projects. You’ll also have the chance to participate in technical and business skills training plus specific assignments and Summer Internship projects, so no two days will be the same.

The person

We’re seeking proactive, analytical problem-solvers in their penultimate year of study who are keen to learn more about technology in global financial markets and have an interest in current global affairs. Ideally, you’ll have good knowledge of programming languages and experience in software development, who has exceptional attention to detail and is a team player.
