Property and Procurement Internship Program

As a Property and Procurement intern, you will be exposed to the different ways our groups support the bank and interact internally on a day-to-day basis. You will learn and develop a wide variety of technical and soft skills. Through participating in our 10-week program, interns will have the opportunity to shadow senior level leaders, interact with interns across alternate business lines and apply the skillset they develop to a real-life business case in which they will present to their prospective team. Interns who join the program and are strong performers will have the opportunity to be hired for a full-time role within the organization following graduation.

Responsibilities:

Interns who are hired to this program will be placed on one of the teams within Property and Procurement. The program will feature structured and unstructured learning, providing for cross exposure to the other groups within the Property and Procurement team and outside of the group.
