Financial Risk Graduate 2027

What does this team do?

Our Financial Risk teams help organisations manage risk, meet regulatory requirements and prepare for what’s next in a complex, fast-changing world. Financial Risk comprises four teams. Please note that our Traded and Quantitative Risk Graduate Programme is advertised separately, as it’s designed for candidates with a STEM or quantitative background. If that matches your experience and interests, please apply for that role instead.

Here’s an overview of the three teams you could join within Financial Risk and the work each one does:

Credit, Capital and Structuring

We help banks and building societies stay on the right side of the rules. Regulations change often, so we guide our clients through those changes and check they're doing everything correctly. We also work alongside their in-house review teams to spot any gaps. Sometimes a bank needs a licence to do certain things or need help with a big deal. We keep banks safe, legal and ready for what's next.

Front Office, Treasury and Reporting

Banks and other financial institutions rely on effective pricing, reporting and front-office operations. We help these areas perform more efficiently by strengthening risk management, improving day-to-day processes and supporting regulatory compliance. For example, we help our clients build better systems for pricing deals, managing the risk of loans and reporting on how much cash and capital they hold. We also help them keep tight control over their trading.

Credit Risk Measurement

When a bank lends money, there's always a chance it won't get paid back. That chance is called credit risk, and it's what this team focuses on. We help our clients understand and manage that risk. Credit is our main focus, but we know plenty about other risks too. That includes climate-related risk, which looks at how regulations around sustainability reporting can impact financial organisations.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

• You’ll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum 2:1 in any degree discipline and have graduated by September 2027 for the Autumn 2027 intake.

What kind of work will I do?

• Working in Financial Risk you will gain exposure across the risk and regulatory landscape, including Credit, Liquidity, Market, Counterparty, Model and Climate risk, as well as capital management and structural reform activities.

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our family friendly, flexible working here.

How will I develop?

An important part of your personal development is ensuring you take advantage of the opportunities offered at Deloitte to enhance both your technical and soft skills. For Graduates, this may include internal courses covering a variety of subjects such as an introduction to banking and capital management and improving presentation skills, as well as formal credentials such as the Financial Risk Management (FRM) qualification. You will be provided support throughout the Graduate programme and will be allocated your own personal Buddy and Coach.
