Leadership Rotation Network Intern

Our formula for success is to hire exceptional people, encourage their ideas and reward their results. As a Leadership Rotation Network (LRN) Analyst Intern, you will work directly within a dedicated middle or back-office team, such as Global Trading Operations, Treasury/Cash, Business Management, or Finance. Over the course of your 10-week internship, you will contribute meaningfully to your team's objectives and gain in-depth knowledge in your specific area of placement.

How we expect our LRN Interns to make an impact:

• Apply your acquired knowledge and skills to deliver tangible value in your assigned team.
• Analyze situations, develop solutions aligned with our strategic goals and respond constructively to feedback.
• Effectively collaborate within diverse teams and build lasting relationships with cohort members and the LRN community.
• Contribute to projects and daily processes, gaining insight into your team’s scope and their collective role in supporting our trading business.
• Develop a comprehensive understanding of the business and a foundation of how our trading functions work together cohesively.

You’ll be right at home if you have:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Finance, Business Analytics, Economics, or a related field, with a graduation date between December 2027 and August 2028.
• A strong desire to learn, a curious mindset, a commitment to integrity, and the ability to deliver results both independently and as part of a team.
• Excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to learn quickly, act with urgency, and communicate effectively.
• The ability to work independently while building strong relationships across business groups.
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with large, structured data sets.
• Foundational knowledge of SQL, Python, or similar data tools, with the interest and ability to deepen these skills on the job.
• The ability to use AI-enabled tools to accelerate analysis, troubleshoot issues, draft queries or scripts, summarise information, and identify opportunities to improve workflows.
• Sound judgment when validating AI-generated outputs, protecting confidential information, documenting assumptions, and escalating uncertainty.
• A demonstrated analytical mindset, strong attention to detail, and the ability to investigate data discrepancies, reconcile information across systems, and communicate conclusions clearly.
• An interest in automation, process improvement, and using technology to reduce manual effort and operational risk.
• Work authorisation in the United Kingdom without the need for sponsorship in the future.

Additional target candidate qualities:

• An interest in the trading and technology industry, with a specific aspiration to build a career in the middle/back-office (this role is not a pathway to a front office opportunity).
• A desire to live and work in London (this opportunity requires physical presence and is not offered remotely).

If you excel in performance-driven environments and thrive on challenges, we encourage you to apply!
