Why the Operations Graduate Programme?
At any given moment, Barclays is a hive of activity and opportunity. A couple gets their first mortgage, or uses a credit card to finance a family holiday. In the same breath, a business agrees the asset financing for a new fleet of vehicles, or our team raises debt financing for a university's refurbishment - such as building new accommodation or sports facilities. It's all happening at once, every minute of the day.
To maintain that real time activity around the world, across investment, corporate and retail banking, you need smooth-running, constantly improving systems behind the scenes. Payments need to be processed. Credit card systems need to be maintained. Trades, equity transactions, debt financing - you name it - it has to be slick, effective and swiftly processed so our customers and clients receive excellent service, every time. That essential work, encompassing absolutely everything we do, is down to the Operations team. Put simply, they're the heartbeat of the bank.

You'll start with five weeks of intensive training, after which, you'll join our team, building a solid foundation in Operations and helping the Group deliver our strategy - in the right way. You'll join either our Global Markets Operations group or our Cards and Payments team. As a full-time analyst, you may:
• Perform KYC tasks while following standard procedures related to Client Due Diligence and AML policies
• Monitor real time transaction flow, trade updates and exception queues to ensure timely and accurate trade representation across systems
• Work on incident, problem and change management issues to improve services across the bank
• Support continuous improvement of the operational process and the development of best practices; coming up with ways to improve systems and processes
