About the Role
Programme start date: September 2027. Our award-winning graduate programme provides the ideal springboard for an exciting and meaningful career in global financial markets. LSEG is at the forefront of trading services – a fundamental part of the financial and transactional services that support and enhance the development of businesses and economies worldwide. Successful graduates will join LSEG’s Markets division on a rotational programme, becoming part of a dynamic team that powers global financial markets and helps organisations navigate risk with confidence.

This graduate programme combines our Capital Markets and Post Trade businesses to offer a comprehensive suite of solutions—from raising and trading capital across asset classes and geographies, to clearing and optimising portfolios, to managing regulatory, reputational and financial risk. Whether enabling companies to list and grow on the London Stock Exchange, supporting seamless post-trade operations, or delivering trusted data and tools like World-Check and identity verification services, you will be at the heart of the financial ecosystem.

You will gain exposure to cutting-edge platforms such as FXall and Tradeweb, work with clients globally, and help shape the future of financial markets. This is an excellent opportunity for students studying Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) subjects or Finance and Economics with a strong inclination towards FinTech/Technology to apply their skills in a business-related role.

During recruitment, we will assess your skills and interests to align you with your first rotation. Graduates can expect exposure across Financial Risk teams, supporting risk monitoring and analysis, contributing to product research and testing, or conducting market research with a focus on debt listings, valuations, and shareholder and geographic analysis.

Highlights of the Graduate Programme include a 12-month development journey to build foundational skills, global and divisional inductions, group projects aligned with LSEG goals, a mid-point skills offsite called ‘Ignite’, access to industry-recognised qualifications with study days, and connection to a global early careers community. Graduates join on a permanent basis and are aligned to LSEG Markets from day one, providing a secure framework for development.
