This internship provides practical experience, skill development, and a strong foundation for those interested in pursuing a career in the asset and wealth management industry.
Finance at Schroders is about much more than numbers. It gives you a unique view of how a global asset manager operates – from financial control and regulatory reporting, to partnering with senior leaders to drive strategic, commercial decision making. As a Finance intern, you’ll work with teams that help the business make informed decisions, manage risk, and deliver sustainable growth.
This internship is best suited to candidates who are genuinely interested in building a career in Finance. While you’ll gain exposure to the wider asset management industry, the role is not an investment management or client-facing internship.
We’re looking for proactive, curious and motivated interns who are excited by the opportunity to understand how Finance supports a global investment management business. You’ll enjoy working with numbers, asking thoughtful questions, building relationships across teams and communicating your ideas clearly. We value people who take ownership, are willing to get stuck in, and bring enthusiasm and energy to new challenges.
Required skills and capabilities:
Comfortable using Excel, PowerPoint and Word, with willingness to develop technical and AI skills further
