Our award-winning graduate programme provides the ideal springboard for an exciting and meaningful career in global financial markets.   

Your graduate year will be split equally between a Product and Market Planning team within the Risk Intelligence (RI) Division (6 months per rotation). LSEG RI is at the forefront of building a safer, more trusted global financial ecosystem by helping organisations identify risk, combat financial crime and make informed decisions.   

Risk Intelligence is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic areas of LSEG, operating in a constantly evolving landscape where new technologies, emerging risks and changing customer needs create endless opportunities for innovation and growth.

We are looking for graduates who are curious about financial, reputational, legal and regulatory risks, and how we can utilise technology and data-driven insights to capture the market.
