Become a high diver and immerse deeply in topics, structures and networks. And that with a safety rope – after all, you start as our trainee with an unlimited contract – so you not only get well trained, but can courageously plan further career steps with us.

What we need from you

• You are creative and bold enough to change banking
• You are pragmatic, solution‑oriented, and always put the customer at the heart of everything you do
• Your resourcefulness and creativity enable you to tackle even the toughest problems with innovative solutions
• You have a passion for technology and never get tired of exploring and familiarizing yourself with new trends and topics
• Your proactive mindset drives you to take the lead and bring digitalization projects to life in (agile) teams
• You communicate with enthusiasm and persuasiveness and feel right at home in diverse teams
• Your performance speaks for itself, and you deliver, even in challenging situations
• You have a deep desire to apply and drive technologies such as AI, Big Data or blockchain forward – and thus shape the future of banking

What you can expect from us

• Further development according to your interests: We offer a unique and flexible graduate program that prepares you for roles in which you can take responsibility and ownership
• Maximum variety: you will have a hand in picking four different business units which you will contribute to for three months at a time. Whether technology, strategy, product, or sales units – the choice is yours!
• Even more variety: During a four‑week phase, you’ll have the opportunity to choose where you want to contribute. You could work with our design agency Neugelb in Berlin, our IT development teams in Prague or Sofia, Comdirect, our digital‑first subsidiary in Hamburg, or explore many other exciting options
• Around the world: Whether NewYork, KualaLumpur, Singapore, or Shanghai. For a minimum of six weeks, you will support our units abroad and gain important experience as well as lasting memories for your career

• A fixed contract from day one: your employment at Commerzbank does not end after the 18 months, instead you will be a full‑time employee of Commerzbank from the beginning, of course after your probationary period of 6 months
• Time to decide: The IDDP program allows its graduates to form a wholistic understanding of the bank before having to decide in what department they wish to work in
