Operations at Barclays

Millions of people, businesses and corporations across the globe rely on Barclays. They might be buying a coffee or purchasing a home. They might be opening a credit card account or leveraging the finance to seal a multinational corporate takeover. They might be investing in a new TV or a £million currency trade. In the end, all these activities, the financial ebb and flow that underpins our daily lives and keeps the global economy moving, come down to processes. And in Operations, it’s our job to ensure that Barclays is there, running those transactions smoothly for our customers and clients, every minute of every day.

As part of Operations you’ll get insight into our ever-improving systems and see what it takes to deliver efficient, painless processing. You could be providing financial services to a large client base across our Private Bank and Wealth divisions; client reporting and reviewing tax packs; account opening and quality assurance reviews; educating colleagues on how to assess, control and mitigate risk; enhancing our lending operations; or even investigating fraud claims. Whatever you do it will make money and finance work better for our customers and clients.

Who can apply?

You'll need to be 2 years out from graduation and can be studying any degree discipline.

Beyond that, you'll need to be curious to understand how a global bank adapts in a constantly evolving environment.

We are recruiting on a rolling basis, so we recommend that students apply early.

Barclays does not provide sponsorship for the 2-day insight programme, and Barclays will also require applicants for this position to have legal right to work in the UK for the duration of the 2026 Summer Internship Programme.
