A world uni never taught you. But one you’ll love exploring.

Money makes the world go round. Everybody knows. Especially at BNP Paribas Fortis. Where they make corporate cash flows and daily payments worth billions in every currency seem so easy. But is it?

amount of cash at the right time to keep its business running. Cash management is a specialised field you need to learn by doing. You’ll tackle real financial challenges, work alongside top experts, and shape the future of payments. Ready to make an impact? Then this traineeship is for you.

And after the traineeship? 

Are you a future product manager, owner, or marketeer? Here’s where you could land after your traineeship: 

  • Product Management determines what the product should do (vision), cost (pricing) and deliver (profitability). But also who needs to be involved to get it all done (stakeholders). 
  • Like the Product Owners for example. They turn ideas into the best possible products and features. And keep them that way. In that, they also work closely with IT.
  • Product Marketing launches the product (go-to-market), creates the messages (communication) and spots new opportunities (research).
