About the business division
Deutsche Bank’s Research group offers truly global and industry knowledge. Our comprehensive, in-depth, multi-asset-class research product means we consistently outperform competitors. Our teams deal with a range of functions from asset allocation to economic forecasting and cover all major global industry sectors. Our mission is to deliver high-quality, independent analysis that helps investors understand markets and promotes public debate on economic, fiscal, labour market and social policy issues.
Division specifics about the graduate role
Upon joining the Bank you will begin your learning journey with our global orientation, followed by professional skills training and technical financial training. During your first year with us you will benefit from a graduate learning journey, comprising both technical and professional skills training, further enhancing your learning experience.
Working on our day-to-day business as well as on special research projects, you will contribute to the development of new ideas for helping our customers achieve their financial goals. The projects you work on will require your analytical skills, an instinct for trends and innovations, and an ability to work independently, although you’ll benefit from intensive mentoring and structured feedback.
From day one, you’ll be exposed to real market issues as you help to explain events in the foreign exchange, credit, rates, or emerging markets. You will also contribute to our research publications and be involved in the creation of investment strategies, tools or models. Your learning curve will be steep, but you’ll have plenty of support and guidance from managers and mentors.
The specific tasks that you deal with will depend on your role within the team. You will be trained by the best, evolve professionally as well as personally, and build a firm foundation upon which to specialise later.
What we look for
We recruit highly intelligent graduates who are ambitious and adaptable. They have degrees in many different disciplines. Even though good levels of numeracy are important for some roles, you won’t necessarily need a formal mathematical or financial background. We have very comprehensive training programmes that will give you all the technical knowledge you’ll need to build a career with us. Above all, we’re looking for entrepreneurial people who thrive best in a diverse culture where innovation and agile thinking abound.
You should not only be passionate about the world of finance, but also show a keen interest in your chosen field. You already have a record of outstanding academic achievement and you’re eager to go on learning at the same intensive rate. So you’ll thrive on working in a highly collaborative environment with some of the best minds in banking.
