Treasury Student Placement Review

I monitor performance and compliance of our funding programmes, produce regular dashboards and variance analyses, support the structuring and documentation of our current funding projects, research market trends to inform funding strategy, and prepare briefing notes and presentations for ALCO and Treasury meetings—all while liaising with internal and external stakeholders on liquidity, capital strategy, and deal execution.

Yes, in short there is a culture within NBS to give responsibility to placement students upon development of skills and knowledge. This is partially derived from the small teams and thorough training provided for placement roles.

I’ve enhanced my financial-modelling skills—building dynamic funding and liquidity models—and gained hands-on experience structuring deals. I’ve deepened market-analysis abilities by tracking spreads and investor appetite, and improved data-visualisation and reporting through weekly dashboards. Additionally, I’ve sharpened stakeholder-management and communication skills by coordinating with legal, ratings agencies, and senior management across multidisciplinary funding transactions.

There is copious support and guidance provided through the Early Talent programme framework as well as through the culture of open communication with peers and managers.

In general, very pleasant work atmosphere exists. Within the Treasury team a focused yet relaxed atmosphere promotes a productive and learning-inducive environment in which placement students can thrive.

I have enjoyed my placement greatly. A lot of the enjoyment stems from engaging work, positive knowledge and skill development, key responsibilities from an early stage, and all while playing a meaningful role within a high-achieving team.
