A journey to discovery: three rotations to define your career at ING

This is a two-year global traineeship where you can discover different parts of our organisation across three rotations, of which you can even do one abroad. After these three rotations you can move into a permanent role.

First rotation: dive into our business

During your first year you’ll do two rotations of six months each. We will help you to find your first rotation, taking into account the information you provided during the selection process as well as your own personal preferences and, of course, ING’s requirements. During your first or second rotation you’ll also attend your first global learning experience: a week where all trainees of your ‘year group’ come together in Amsterdam (if circumstances allow) to learn, network and develop yourself.

Second rotation: will you opt to go abroad?

Halfway through the first six months of your traineeship, it’s up to you to start arranging your second rotation. Now it’s a matter of making use of your global network and your own initiative! Many trainees choose to go abroad for their second rotation, and ING offers you opportunities to do so, if circumstances allow. Working internationally provides you with a wealth of valuable experience, both personally and professionally..

Third rotation: gain in-depth knowledge or experience in another track

You’re still in charge; your third rotation is arranged by you. Your trainee manager will help you in making your decision: will you dedicate this last rotation to deepening your knowledge of the business (within your track), or will choose a different track? For example, as an Operations & Change or Retail Banking trainee you can get analytics experience, or as a Risk trainee you can get a better understanding of our Wholesale Banking business.

Global learning experiences: to kick off and close your ITP journey

All ING trainees participate in our global learning experiences. Here, you learn about every aspect of banking and gain insights into the role of a bank, the bank balance sheet, the competitive landscape and ING’s strategic priorities. Needless to say, these events also help you develop your personal skills, such as communication, stakeholder management, and growth mindset.

What you're going to do

It all starts with data

Does data excite you? Are you inspired by its potential to reshape banking, based on people’s own personal wants and needs? Your analysis and insights can have impact in countless different ways and across all areas of our business: financial, risk, customer interaction, product development. Data is indispensable when deciding on our pricing strategy, for example, and when analysing and predicting risks with the help of intelligent models. And it drives innovation. It’s the logical starting point for progress. If you’re excited by the possibilities of working with extremely large volumes of data – think of our millions of customers worldwide – we’re excited to hear from you.

You analyse it. You run it

You will make a tangible contribution to ING’s transformation from a traditional bank into a data-driven tech company. Ultimately, every ING department will collaborate with data experts on business solutions that are relevant to them. You’ll work agile, in teams that are cross-functional, multidisciplinary and often international, with people who are among the best in their field. It’s a steep learning curve. But as a trainee, you’ll have plenty of hands-on experience writing algorithms and building models that have a real impact. If you’re comfortable with this sort of responsibility, we want to hear from you.

Global impact

We’re a global bank operating in 40 countries and many of our projects scale worldwide. Ideas that prove themselves in one market are often rolled out to other regions. You’ll be collaborating with analysts and colleagues in other continents, constantly learning from each other’s successes and failures. As a trainee, you’ll have access to our global learning events, covering every aspect of banking, from the role of banks, to balance sheets to funding, as well as more specific training related to coding, visualisation, engineering, and statistics and methodology. If you are eager to drive change, we are eager to hear from you.
