• Build and maintain relationships within the PMC team, Corporate Center functions and Business Divisions

Graduate Talent Program
Our Graduate Talent Program (GTP) lasts 18 months. You’ll be directly involved in day-to-day operations, working with professionals and gaining first-hand experience of our business.

As well as on-the-job learning, you’ll get training on the financial markets, our products and other core business topics. Rotational assignments are a key part of the program. By taking on other roles in related departments, you’ll gain a wider perspective.

Besides all that, you’ll attend networking events, cross-business classes and social occasions where you’ll get to know us.

The PMC team is a new team part of the Corporate Development & Performance organization and serves UBS internal clients across the bank, supporting business divisions/functions/regions with project management capabilities and enhanced staff leverage to deliver on change/project work.
PMC is a center of competence for specific functional areas (e.g., project/change management, problem

(identification/recruitment, development and retention) for UBS.

• An understanding of banking business and financial markets/instruments
• Sharp analytical and problem solving skills
• A flexible, open-minded and cooperative personality (you’re a people person)
• Strong interest in progressing your career in a fast, changing environment
• The ability to think out of the box and deal with complexity
