At ING Commercial Banking we offer outstanding career opportunities in a fast, dynamic, international and competitive environment. We combine local knowledge with global expertise and scope to provide custom-made financial services. Emphasising the innovative and the pro-active, we act as a trusted advisor to businesses, governments and financial institutions, enabling them to operate effectively around the world.

Are you eager to be part of one of the top players in the field of commercial banking? Do you get a kick out of closing the deal? Do you share our belief that winning is not about luck, but about understanding our clients? Then here is a deal you don’t want to miss: the ING Commercial Banking Talent Programme. This five-year, tailor-made traineeship is a unique chance to learn by doing.

You will start with an orientation phase of 12 months. You will work on two or three challenging assignments focussed on the field that suits you best. Next, you will specialise in your first position. Career-wise you go full speed ahead; by the end of the traineeship you are fully equipped for a focussed and further growth in your career.

The Commercial Banking Talent Programme is all about becoming an experienced banker. To reach your goals quickly, we facilitate personal and professional growth in two steps.

From the beginning you will be focussed on your first position in one of the areas within Commercial Banking. During the orientation phase you will work on two or three challenging projects within the same job family to get a broader scope. Each assignment (one of them might be abroad) will take three to six months. Right from the start, you will add value to the business and contribute pro-actively to your team’s success, for example as:

• Analyst Structured Finance
• Analyst Corporate Finance
• Assistant Relationship Manager
• Junior Account Manager

Next, you will specialise in your position of choice, depending on your talent and ambitions. You get increased responsibility and enhance your knowledge, network and skills to their full potential.

Although you are on a fast track, you stay in control of your career. You will decide the goals to aim for; we offer ample development opportunities to match your ambitions.

Interested? Apply directly, read the selection procedure or contact your recruiter to find out more.

To join the programme, you need a Masters degree preferably in any Business, Economic or Technical field and no more than two years work experience. But even more important is the kind of person you are. We want to feel a connection, so we would like to know if you are comfortable working at a company striving for a winning performance culture: rising to challenging goals and taking responsibility for making things happen. We are looking for people who share our can-do mentality, passion for teamwork and focus on results.

We believe in facilitating talent rather than leading people by the hand. Many chances for development will come along, so showing initiative will certainly pay off.

You will start with an extensive welcome programme to familiarise you with ING in general and Commercial Banking specific. Furthermore, you will master a number of fundamental skills related to banking, presentation, communication and negotiation.

• Intensive Banking Programme
• Chartered Financial Analyst

And you won’t be on your own. You will benefit from active personal guidance and on-the-job coaching from your Talent Manager from Human Resources and your first line managers. Together you will make an annual tailor-made plan of your learning activities and future career steps to help you grow.

On top of this, you will get the chance to participate in the supplementing ING International Graduate Programme. This four-year challenge adds extra value to your career development by expanding your knowledge and international network and boosting your leadership skills.
