Ready for the next step? Translate your military leadership and mission-first mindset into a high-impact front office career. UBS is committed to hiring and developing high-performing transitioning Service Members and Veterans through our Veterans Associate Program (VAP)—a 20-week, accelerated pathway into Investment Banking, Sales & Trading, Equity Research, Global Wealth Management, or Asset Management. We are seeking recent transitioning Service Members to join our 2027 VAP cohort starting January 2027. During the program, you will build technical finance capability, apply it on a team placement, and earn the opportunity to interview for permanent roles while you are in the program. Program overview: • New joiner orientation: learn UBS culture, controls, business model, and how our divisions partner to serve clients. • Instructor-led finance & analytics training (Weeks 1–2): complete intensive coursework (e.g., Excel tools/macros, financial modeling, valuation, capital markets, and wealth/portfolio management fundamentals) to prepare you to contribute on day one. • Team placement: start with a divisionally aligned team in Investment Banking, Sales & Trading, Equity Research, Global Wealth Management, or Asset Management. Placements are determined through the selection and interview process. • Mentorship: matched with mentors who will help you navigate the firm, accelerate learning, and build your network. • Cross-divisional exposure: ongoing networking and guest-speaker sessions with leaders across UBS. • Continuous development: structured learning throughout the 20 weeks (external provider-led courses, self-paced modules, and internal business-skills workshops). • May/June 2027: interview for permanent opportunities. VAP is designed to convert strong foundational skills into front office impact. You will work alongside high-performing teams, sharpen technical and client-facing capabilities, and build relationships that will accelerate your long-term career at UBS. If you are ready to bring discipline, ownership, and analytical rigor to complex financial problems, we want to meet you.
