• gain invaluable insights into EMEA’s wealthiest families and individuals, from the source of their wealth to their investments and financing needs
• attend educational events led by senior leaders that provide extensive exposure and insight into the business

Your team

You’ll be working in our Global Wealth Management team in Zürich. We provide advice-based solutions to deliver products and services designed to address the needs of ultra-high net worth and high-net worth individuals and families. We’ve successfully built the number one wealth management franchise in the world. You’ll work with the best talent in the industry as we help manage, preserve and grow the wealth of our clients.

You will join the GWM EMEA Strategy Execution & Growth Initiatives team within Chief of Staff GWM EMEA in Zürich. The team acts as a partner to senior business leadership, supporting the development of business priorities, strategic decision-making and the execution of key growth initiatives across GWM EMEA. You’ll also work closely with business representatives in booking center Switzerland and in domestic locations across GWM EMEA, giving you first-hand exposure to how strategic initiatives are shaped and implemented in practice.

Start Date: February 2027

We’re looking for someone who’s curious and wants to thrive in a business that never stops moving. We welcome all majors, but it’s important to have an interest in the financial industry. We want to see what makes you unique and discover what you can bring to our team. Perhaps you’ve organized a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or stepped out of your comfort zone to learn about a subject you found challenging? Let us know how your achievements match the skills we’re after.

Your program

This paid internship will last 3-6 months, depending on your availability. You’ll work with our experts and learn about the industry, our clients and our firm. You’ll be right at the heart of our business, learning from your colleagues, taking part in day-to-day operations. You’ll be given mentors along the way and will have the chance to get to know some of the most senior members of our teams.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts along the way. If you like challenges, enjoy learning and want to work where no two days are the same, this program is for you.

If you have a successful internship, you may get an offer to return for our Graduate Talent Program after you’ve completed your studies.
