Barclays Capital is a world leading investment bank. As the investment banking division of Barclays Bank PLC, we’re proud to have offices in 29 countries with over 16,200 employees and the distribution power to meet the needs of issuers and investors worldwide.
Teamwork, meritocracy and transparency are central to everything we do. It’s thanks to this ethos that we’ve grown from a new operation into one of the world’s leading investment banks in just 11 years.
So what does Investment Banking involve? In short, it’s about finding the right financing and risk management solutions for our clients over the long term. We focus on providing our clients with the highest level of skills and service. While that alone does not differentiate us from other leading investment banks, our business model, flexibility and creativity are unique.
That’s why we need people who can bring an excellent academic background coupled with a creative and imaginative mind. Our size enables us to find the most suitable area for you to fulfil your potential and our senior management team are always on hand, asking for your ideas and sharing their expertise right from the start.
Still a relatively new organisation, we’re growing every year and one thing that sets us apart from the competition is our business model.
At the heart of our distinctive business model is the drive to build close relationships with clients who require our expertise and advice in identifying financing opportunities and creating profitable financial solutions.
