Job description

Graduate Business Associate - Financial Services

A unique opportunity to build a career across investment, funds management and business operations Are you a commercially minded graduate looking for more than a traditional entry-level role? This is an opportunity to join a growing investment business in a broad, hands‑on position that will give you exposure to multiple functions, senior decision-makers and the commercial drivers of the organisation.

Our client operates across investment management and related financial services, with an entrepreneurial mindset and a focus on growth. They are looking for a bright, motivated graduate who is eager to learn, comfortable with variety and keen to build a well‑rounded understanding of how a business operates.

The Opportunity

This is a genuinely broad role for someone who wants to learn by doing. Rather than being confined to one department, you will work across the business, supporting a range of activities and projects while developing a strong foundation in investment, finance, operations and commercial decision‑making. Working closely with senior stakeholders, you will gain exposure to the day‑to‑day running of the business, contribute to key initiatives and take ownership of tasks that make a tangible difference. The role will evolve as you develop, providing the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and shape your longer‑term career path.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting business operations and initiatives across multiple functions.
• Assisting with research, analysis and the preparation of reports and presentations.
• Contributing to investment‑related, financial and commercial projects as required.
• Undertaking data analysis, market research and business performance reporting.
• Coordinating projects, improving processes and helping drive operational efficiency.
• Supporting stakeholder communications and working collaboratively with internal and external partners.
• Providing ad hoc support to senior leadership on business priorities and emerging opportunities.

About You

You are an ambitious graduate who combines intellectual curiosity with a practical, can‑do attitude. You enjoy solving problems, asking questions and getting involved wherever you can add value. You may have completed a degree in Finance, Economics, Commerce, Business, Accounting or a related discipline. More important than your exact degree, however, is your willingness to learn, commercial awareness and desire to understand how different parts of a business work together.

You will ideally bring:

• Strong analytical, research and problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• High attention to detail and confidence working with data and spreadsheets.
• A proactive approach, with the initiative to identify what needs to be done and follow through.
• Adaptability and the ability to manage competing priorities in a changing environment.
• Confidence engaging with people at different levels of an organisation.
• A genuine interest in investment, financial markets and business performance.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Broad commercial exposure: Gain experience across investment, finance, operations and business development.
• Direct access to decision-makers: Work closely with experienced professionals and senior leadership.
• Accelerated learning: Develop practical skills and commercial judgement through hands‑on involvement.
• Variety and ownership: Contribute to meaningful work rather than being limited to repetitive administrative tasks.
• Long‑term career potential: Build a versatile foundation for a future career in investment, funds management or broader business leadership.
