About the role

Barclays is leading the way in enabling customers to use their credit cards and make payments in new ways. Bring us your enthusiasm, technical skills and analytical mind to help us stay one step ahead. We’ll give you an unrivalled insight into our fast-changing business, and all the training and expert support you need to explore where your talent will take you. This is a challenging and rewarding opportunity.

What to expect

Our two-year Explorer Programme is a deep dive into Cards and Payments at Barclays. As an analyst, you’ll enjoy three rotations around this business, with one rotation potentially taking you into a related area of the Consumer Bank. You’ll get insight into what we do, how we do it, how our Barclays businesses fit together – and how your role fits in. And you’ll get exposure to the whole bank – giving you the opportunity to build a strong network and great prospects for development.

How you’ll develop

You’ll learn continually, from start to finish – whether it’s the hard skills you need to be brilliant at your job, or the professional skills to be brilliant in a business of this size, we give you the essential learning experiences you need to play a full role in Barclays. At all times you’ll be supported by an experienced line manager and a talent coach who together will help you realise your potential and discover where you’d like your career journey to take you in Barclays. You’ll be surrounded by colleagues you can share with and learn from. You’ll get lifetime membership of our global graduate network, with exclusive access to content, events and forums to support you and help you develop. And you’ll get the opportunity to have an impact on the communities in which we live and work. What’s more, you might qualify for a bursary towards your professional development. By the end of your programme you’ll have gained all the understanding and skills you need to move into a fulfilling permanent role.

Who thrives here

We’re committed to making Barclays everything it can be – for our customers, for our clients and for the future of our business. So we need graduates who are customer-obsessed, ready to develop a deep understanding of what we do, why we do it, and how your role impacts on our business outcomes. To make the most of this opportunity, you’ll be curious and creative, tech-savvy and adaptable. You’ll be great at communicating and collaborating, competitive but caring. Motivated by pace and pressure, you’ll be driven to achieve — and to do it right. These are qualities that people at Barclays have in abundance, and we’ll help you develop and strengthen them from the day you arrive.
