The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is looking for recent graduates to join the 2026 cohort of Graduate Interns. This is an 11-month internship that will allow you to use the knowledge you gained during your studies in a professional environment. Joining us is not just about launching your international career, it is about doing meaningful work for the public good and serving the global community. By joining the graduate internship programme in Risk Management you will: Have the opportunity to undertake a largely self-directed project, which allows you to innovate and bring fresh perspectives and new ideas into our work. Look at how new technologies can be used to solve complex analytical and quantitative problems, or to help us develop new opportunities or solutions. Directly contribute to meaningful projects, enjoy exposure to a broad range of ideas and initiatives, and play a valuable part in supporting the wider international community. Collaborate with leading risk management professionals from around the world. Purpose of the Internship Programme: The programme is aimed at enriching your work experience in order to help you in your pursuit of your next step, whether to a higher educational degree or a position at another organisation. Together we will scope, define, and agree on the project, which will depend on your skills and interest/expertise. Risk Management ensures that risks are identified, appropriately measured, controlled, monitored, and reported. The unit develops corresponding policies and proposals and monitors adherence to defined rules and limits. Within Risk Management, the Risk Models team develops quantitative risk measurement and valuation methodologies across all risk types, in line with sound market practice, regulation, and targeted to the specific scope and nature of the BIS business model. You would be working on a quantitative and/or implementation project in one of the above-mentioned areas. The internship programme would address a relevant project that requires innovative analytical solutions and/or the leveraging of new technologies. Under the guidance of a team member, you would be driving the project, from the analysis phase and implementation to the eventual presentation of final results, potentially to a wider audience.
