Your role

Do you know how to spread the word? We’re looking for someone who can help us develop our communications to employees. You’ll:

• be involved in planning, writing and editing articles for internal websites, newsletters, blogs, social media and announcements

• give advice and support for the best way to get messages to our employees

• help coordinate employee events and develop accompanying communications materials to spread the word

• support coordination of employee volunteering activities and the firm's financial grants to charities and social enterprises

• depending on your interests and skills, you may also have the opportunity to get involved with media relations, where you would manage incoming requests from journalists and work with internal spokespeople to help UBS gain visibility in the media.

Your team

You’ll be working within one of our Corporate Communications or Marketing teams, and will work closely with colleagues from Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas to help us build and protect our reputation and make sure information is delivered clearly and consistently.

Your expertise

We’re looking for a candidate who:

• needs to complete an Industrial Placement program as part of their studies, and then will graduate in 2028

• is a strategic thinker with strong communication skills

• is motivated to work in a business with high demands and tight deadlines

We’re looking for someone who’s curious and wants to thrive in a business that never stops moving. We welcome all majors, but it’s important to have an interest in the financial industry. We want to see what makes you unique and discover what you can bring to our team. Perhaps you’ve organized a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or stepped out of your comfort zone to learn about a subject you found challenging? Let us know how your achievements match the skills we’re after.

Your program

This placement will last 12 months. You’ll work with our experts and learn about the industry, our clients and our firm. You’ll be right at the heart of our business, learning from your colleagues, taking part in day-to-day operations.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts along the way. If you like challenges, enjoy learning and want to work where no two days are the same, this program is for you.
