Apply now for the Global Markets Traineeship starting in March 2026.

Your job

As a trainee within Global Markets, you are following what is happening in the world and financial markets and how this influences the needs of our clients, products and the bank. It goes without saying that during the traineeship you will have a lot of room to develop yourself, both personally and professionally. 

Your first 5 weeks at ABN AMRO start with an Corporate Banking Traineeship introduction programme at Nyenrode Business University, where together with other trainees you will get to know the bank. During this period, you familiarise yourself with the (corporate) bank and participate in a training programme that includes both professional and personal development sessions. The trainings are provided by experts who belong to the top of their field. Together they offer you a solid basis to further develop yourself within the bank. At the same time, you build an international network of fellow trainees in different parts of the corporate bank. The perfect start to your career!

After completing the 5-week introduction programme, you will start the Global Markets rotation programme. Over the course of 24 months, you will work in different teams on the dealing room and get the chance to branch out into one of the other departments within the corporate bank, thereby broadening your knowledge and network. It is also possible to gain experience abroad in one of our offices in Frankfurt, Paris, London or New York. After 24 months, you are ready to start in a team that best matches your skills and ambitions.

Possible rotations:

• Fixed Income & Derivatives (FID) Sales & Trading: Dive into the world of interest rate products and derivatives and improve your technical skills with one of our FID Trading teams. Learn to structure financial products for institutional and corporate clients.
• Foreign Exchange Sales & Trading: Emerge yourself in the rapidly changing world of foreign exchange (FX). Help to improve our (electronic) FX trading platforms and understand how our FX Sales team serves our clients.
• Debt Capital Markets (DCM): You are involved in a wide range of DCM transactions such as bond issues from corporate and financial institutions, securitisations and syndicated loans.
• Equity Capital Markets (ECM): Participate in important and strategic transactions (often front-page news) such as IPOs and follow-on share issues for our corporate clients.
• Product Management & Strategy: Gain unique insights into the strategic choices for Global Markets in alignment with the broader ABN AMRO strategy.

As your role is constantly changing, you will learn a lot in a short time. With all the knowledge you gain, you guarantee yourself a solid basis for a great career at ABN AMRO.
