This is designed to give you a thorough understanding of the financial services industry and develop your skills in market research, headhunting and sophisticated sales techniques.
We don’t expect you to have previous experience in financial services, sales or business development; it’s our job to teach you everything you need to know about our industry. What we are looking for is someone who is a team player. Someone who is entrepreneurial by nature and thrives in a lively, sociable, competitive environment. We guarantee that no two days will be the same, so you’ll also need to have great attention to detail and enjoy a challenge.

The ability to listen to people and ask questions (there are no silly questions!)
Information gathering and problem solving skills, especially recognising patterns and transferable skills in candidate profiles
Excellent proven written and verbal communication skills in English
A second language is advantageous, but not essential. Many of the candidates we interact with in this domain are multi-lingual, so knowing another language could be advantageous!
