Business Graduate London 2023

Our Business Graduate Programme provides the ideal springboard for an exciting and meaningful career in global financial markets.

To be eligible you must be a graduate who has completed your studies in 2022 or a final year undergraduate or Master’s student and have completed all the requirements of your course before September 2023. You should be on track for a 2:1 degree or equivalent in any subject area.

As a graduate, you will join one of the following business areas: Capital Markets, Post Trade or Corporate Functions.

The dynamic nature of roles in LSEG means you could be involved in helping companies to raise capital, providing secure and reliable trading platforms or delivering real-time information. We are also central to the post trade environment, managing risk and ensuring liquidity.

What we offer

• Launch your career in one of our key divisions: Capital Markets, Post Trade or Corporate Functions
• Collaborate with global, cross-divisional teams and connect with a global Early Careers community;
• Develop your financial markets and business knowledge as well as your human skills as you move across projects
• Build your technical skills, and develop self-insight to define your future career ambitions
• Be supported to gain industry recognised qualifications
• Access global learning opportunities and experiences and contribute to wider society via CSR and volunteering initiatives

Our graduates join us on a permanent basis, and from day one you will be aligned to a division, which will allow you to develop within a secure framework. During our recruitment process, we will get to know your skills and interest and how they align with the needs of the business, to allow us to place you in the right division.

What we are looking for

We are passionate about recruiting people who want to understand the full breadth of our organisation, how it fits together, how it functions – and are interested in playing a part of our development, as it grows and diversifies.

• You should have a demonstrable interest in financial markets, which you’ve built through your studies, work experience or extracurricular activities.
• A curiosity for data and an ability to analyse information to draw conclusions and propose solutions.
• Individuals who are able to connect the dots and think strategically.
• The environment we work in is fast paced, you’ll need to demonstrate focus, resilience and the flexibility to adapt to changing demands.
• People who can collaborate with others, using their strong communication skills in the process.

You will stand out to us if you can demonstrate and recognise that what you achieve is equally important as how you achieve it.

Application end date: midnight on the 5th of December 2022

Recruitment process

We operate a rolling recruitment process with assessment centres starting from December 2022.
