We offer you the opportunity to make a significant impact by helping shape the future of LSEG’s fast-changing global business. The next generation of LSEG graduates and interns will have direct exposure to the exciting developments and innovations currently taking place within finance and technology. We are looking for dedicated, insightful and dynamic individuals to support us in our journey, problem solvers who are willing to challenge the status quo and aren’t afraid to ask the difficult questions.
Our programmes – Our Graduate programmes
Our graduate programmes, for final year undergraduate or Masters students and recent graduates, sit within Business, Sales or Technology. Our programmes provide the ideal springboard for a rewarding and exciting career in global financial markets.
Our graduates join us on a permanent basis; from day one you will be aligned to a division, where you will access divisional and global learning opportunities and experiences.
Our sustainable growth as a business means that more than ever before there are opportunities to develop your career in a truly global organisation, which is critical to the successful functioning of global financial markets. The breadth of our business means you will never lack opportunities to learn and grow.
Our Business programmes will allow you to gain valuable experience within one of our divisions (Capital Markets, Post Trade, Data & Analytics or Corporate Functions). You may be involved in helping companies to raise capital, developing benchmark ranges and indices, or building and evaluating risk models. We will align you to a division at the end of the recruitment process, based on the strengths you demonstrate and the requirements of the role. Regardless of the role, you will build your financial markets understanding as well as technical understanding of key products. You will collaborate with global or cross-divisional teams that play critical roles across the trade lifecycle.
Our Sales Programme is a great full-time opportunity for individuals looking to accelerate their careers within sales and account management in the Data & Analytics division. This programme offers you the experience of working with a variety of our products, locations and teams while developing the strong skills needed to become a crucial contributor to the sales organisation. You will have an opportunity to gain exposure to teams consisting of sales, account management, customer success and business development and will be aligned to one of these areas.
Our Technology Programme will enable you to launch your career in Technology by contributing to live projects with leading technologies, collaborating with and being mentored by best-in-class talent. You will have a meaningful role in harnessing new, exciting technologies and working on projects aimed at integrating these into our frontline operations. You will be aligned to a Technology team at the end of the recruitment process, based on your strengths and fit with the role requirements. Whatever your role, you will work in partnership with the Group’s businesses, providing you with a commercial perspective that will help you as you progress within our organisation.
Learning and Development
We understand it can be nerve-wracking to embark on a new career and in some cases, make the transition from education to practice. We will assist you in nurturing a growth mindset and developing the key skills you will need to succeed at LSEG - and more widely.
During the programme we will provide formal learning opportunities aiming to develop your knowledge and skills – with a global and divisional focus. You will access global and local learning opportunities and experiences, as well as a network of Early Careers peers who will support you as you progress your career journey at LSEG. You will contribute to wider society through CSR and volunteering initiatives.
LSEG is a place where you can take your career in any direction. Beyond the programme, you can look forward to opportunities to advance your skills and learning at every stage of your career. Our scale and global presence give you the opportunity to broaden and deepen your abilities and expertise and take the next steps on your journey to achieving your career ambitions.
Our programmes – Internship programmes
Our summer internship programme, for penultimate year students, is a unique opportunity to get to know LSEG’s business and to gain an in-depth insight into financial markets.
Whether you apply for the Business or Technology internship, you will understand what a career with LSEG would really be like. The programme has been crafted to enable exploration of potential career pathways at LSEG, to start to build some of the key skills you will need as a graduate and to support you to build self-insight into your strengths and interests.
Our Business Internship will allow you to gain valuable experience within one of our divisions, although you will also have exposure to the wider Group. You may be involved in helping to build and maintain relationships with key clients, review risk models and drive change projects and programmes. All our work is underpinned by our expertise in developing and delivering innovative technology.
Our Technology Internship will enable you to launch your career in Technology. Your technical placement could involve coding, development, and innovation. You’ll have a meaningful role in harnessing new, exciting technologies and working on projects aimed at integrating these into our frontline operations.
The internship programme is an excellent way for us to spot talent for our graduate roles. As well as the formal induction week, we offer a range of opportunities for development, including Deep Dives with subject-matter experts. Like our graduates, you will have a ‘buddy’ to help you find your feet.
Our programmes – Schools and young people
We’re passionate about maximising the opportunities available to children and young people regardless of their background and have set up a number of initiatives that allow us to provide support.
LSEG Foundation
A vital way of delivering our purpose in the community and wider society is through the LSEG Foundation. Working with charity and NGO partners, we deliver a range of programmes across the globe, creating opportunities for those in need to participate in education, employment and enterprise. This is a vast challenge, so we aim to focus our support where we think it can have the greatest impact. Our aim is to help people access economic opportunities and build a secure future with financial independence.
Our programmes vary by geography and need. We create change through a variety of initiatives. These could include helping girls stay in school for longer, as part of a wider strategy to address gender inequality and community education, guiding young adults into secure work, education programmes for financial literacy or supporting individuals in reskilling for a fresh start.
Work experience
We are committed to supporting young people with exploring career opportunities, building their employability skills and bridging the gap between education and practise. We offer various opportunities which aim to ignite aspirations, build confidence, connect students to mentors and role models, and provide an insight into the industry.
Our organisational focus is on improving access to the industry for students from a diverse set of backgrounds and those who face multiple barriers to social mobility. Through our key partners we engage with school students via initiatives such as our Work Experience programme and insight events.
Online financial literacy resources
At LSEG, we believe financial literacy opens up options and opportunities. Whether it’s study and career choices now, or how to save and invest money later on in life, understanding how finance works can help build a better future for us all. To help boost the financial literacy of kids across the globe we offer a wealth of online resources and videos to help you learn more about the world of finance.
