This is more than a strategic shift: it's an opportunity to grow, learn, and make a real impact.

Our mission is to help more people and businesses prosper. We foster a strong risk culture and expect all our teams to take a proactive, responsible approach to risk management.

Being part of Retail & Commercial Banking means being at the center of the transformation of banking.

During this first year, you will develop your professional experience as a Business Manager or International Business Manager in one of our regional offices (Madrid, Castilla La Mancha, Canarias, País Vasco, Cataluña, Valencia, Murcia, Cantabria, Castilla León, Galicia, and Andalucía).

All of this will allow you to develop financial and commercial knowledge, strengthen your analytical capacity, and acquire a close and practical view of the relationship between the Bank and its corporate clients.
