About this role

Are you eager to start a fulfilling professional career in a global Private Banking group whilst developing and strengthening your skills and competencies? 

How the EFG Graduate Programme works?

Starting in September 2026 and over a period of 18 months, the EFG Graduate Programme offers a challenging and exciting opportunity for recent graduates. Tailored on individual skills, interests, and competencies, the programme provides an ideal opportunity to obtain wide-ranging experience in an international and fast-growing private banking group:

  • You will start with a 2-week onboarding in Switzerland to discover EFG Mission, Vision and Culture and start building your professional network. 
  • During the onboarding you will have the chance to attend specific trainings aimed at enhancing key competencies and communication skills. 
  • Continuous learning opportunities to ensure you develop both personally and professionally to achieve full potential.
  • Buddy and Mentor to accompany you throughout the programme.
  • Truly global, we have positions based in Miami, London, Luxembourg, Geneva, Zurich, Lugano, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The EFG Graduate Programme comprises 3 professional paths in which you will equally experience our entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to excellence and innovative thinking.

  • #EFG Business Functions 
  • #EFG Corporate Functions 
  • #EFG Digital and IT 

If you select the Business Functions path, you will gain direct exposure to the core activities that drive EFG’s client offerings and market presence.

Within this path, you will complete a 6-month rotation in your preferred business unit, allowing you to specialise in your area of interest. In addition, you will participate in two further 6-month rotations across different business units, expanding your knowledge of the private banking industry and how its key functions operate together.

The Business Functions path is designed for those who wish to build expertise in:

  • Private Banking
  • Global Markets and Treasury
  • Investment and Client Solutions

This path provides a strong foundation for a career in client-facing and market-focused roles, equipping you with the skills and insights needed to excel in EFG’s dynamic business environment.

Could you be one of our future graduates?

We value diversity and we do not require specific academic majors or industry experience, but look for different mix of background, experiences and skills.

Our graduates are brilliant and enthusiastic talents, so we expect:

  • Bachelor or Master degree (completed in 2025 or on track to complete it) with outstanding academic results in a field with affinity with the selected professional path.
  • Excellent English (any other language will be an advantage)
  • International mindset
  • Strong analytical, problem solving and organisational skills 
  • Forward thinking and able to suggest new ways of working to improve efficiency and competitiveness 
  • Self-disciplined, committed and with strong work ethics
  • Adaptable and able to work collaboratively in a team environment with people from different backgrounds
  • Client-oriented
  • Proactive self-starter with intellectual curiosity

What will you get?

  • Dynamic work experience by rotating through different teams and business units
  • Experience an enriching international network
  • Opportunity to build expertise in your chosen field and contribute to the EFG Culture 
  • Continuous development and learning opportunities on both technical and soft skills 

 The recruitment process for the EFG Graduate Programme will begin in February 2026 and will include several interviews. We recommend that you apply to only one vacancy and specify your area of interest within your application.
