Your role

Interested in working in finance, specifically global markets, but not sure where to start? Do you want to work for a firm with a truly global footprint?

We're looking for ambitious students to join our 2027 Apprenticeship Program within our Global Markets business.

You’ll get to:

• experience how we help our clients buy and sell financial instruments
• extract market moving data from a variety of sources to inform decisions across our Global Markets business
• provide clients with information about recent market trends and offer trades at the best prices.

Your team

You’ll be working in our Global Markets business. We advise clients and do everything that’s needed to buy and sell securities for them from start to finish. We work with hedge funds, pension funds, asset managers and family offices to provide coverage, advisory, capital markets and financing services.

Your expertise

We’re looking for a candidate who:

• has completed their A-levels (or equivalent) between 2025 and September 2027, and has achieved ABB grades as well as GCSEs (or equivalent) in English Language (Level 5) and Mathematics (Level 6)
• has values that align with ours: hard-working, trustworthy, dedicated and collaborative
• is a strategic thinker with strong communication skills
• is motivated to work in a business with high demands and tight deadlines
• can evidence how experimental and responsible use of AI can improve outcomes and efficiency.

We’re looking for someone who’s curious and wants to thrive in a business that never stops moving. It’s important to have an interest in the financial industry. We want to see what makes you unique and discover what you can bring to our team.

Perhaps you’ve organized a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or stepped out of your comfort zone to learn about a subject you found challenging? Let us know how your achievements match the skills we’re after.

Your program

This Apprenticeship will last four years. You’ll work with our experts and learn about the industry, our clients and our firm. You’ll be right at the heart of our business, learning from your colleagues, taking part in day-to-day operations.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts along the way. If you like challenges, enjoy learning and want to work where no two days are the same, this program is for you.
