Treasury Management Trainee

The Treasury Management Trainee Program is designed to recruit top STEM-oriented talent and develop the next generation of Treasury professionals at East West Bank. The program provides participants with structured exposure across core Treasury functions through a series of rotational assignments, complemented by on-the-job learning, formal training, mentorship, and regular feedback.

Participants will gain hands-on experience across a range of Treasury topics, including liquidity management, asset-liability management, stress testing, markets, operations, and analytics and data. The program is intended to build strong analytical foundations, institutional knowledge, and practical understanding of the Bank’s balance sheet, risk framework, and governance environment.

The program will begin in July 2026 and run for 24 months. Upon successful completion, participants will be placed into roles aligned with their demonstrated skills, interests, and business needs. While the primary objective is to support long-term Treasury staffing needs, placement into other analytical roles within the Bank may be considered a positive outcome where appropriate.
