What the role is about
The Young Analyst Programme is a two‑year entry‑level track at Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking (NCIB). As a junior analyst you will help turn data into clear insights, support research projects, and back the bank’s investment decisions. The work ties directly to Nedbank’s overall strategy, so you’ll see how big‑scale banking ideas become real‑world actions.

- Write clear notes, emails, and reports so anyone can understand the key points.
- Keep your knowledge of banking products, regulations, and industry standards up‑to‑date.
- Follow Nedbank’s vision and values in every interaction, whether with teammates or external partners.
- Take charge of your own learning: choose relevant courses, ask for feedback, and chase certifications within set timelines.
- Share what you learn with the team so everyone benefits from the latest information.
