About M&G Investments

With a record of investment excellence stretching back over more than 80 years, M&G, the UK and European investment arm of the Prudential group, is one of the UK’s leading and most respected fund management groups.

Human Resources Internship

We are looking for interns with a curious and driven approach to their work and an interest in Human Resources (HR). You will have strong attention to detail and the ability to think laterally to solve problems. Given the nature of this role, you will need to possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills. We are looking for interns from a diverse range of backgrounds and actively recruit from all degree disciplines.

You will be in your penultimate year of study, be predicted a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree from any discipline and have 300 UCAS points or equivalent.

The Human Resources (HR) internship scheme will give you a practical introduction to the various HR teams at M&G and is designed to develop individuals who are passionate about pursuing a career in HR. You will rotate between different HR teams, with the opportunity to tailor your internship if your interests lie within a particular HR area (team workload permitting).

You will work closely with senior management and colleagues to expand your range of skills and competencies, with the opportunity to arrange meetings with colleagues across all teams to find out more about their tasks. You will learn on the job by working on day-to-day tasks and specific projects, being expected to make a genuine contribution to M&G’s success from week 1.

Work that previous interns have been involved in includes:

  • Performing competitor analysis and making recommendations to the HR management team
  • Conducting research and presenting the findings
  • Reviewing and creating content for the M&G careers website
  • Mapping current Diversity and Inclusion activities, conducting a critical review with recommendations

You will take part in a training programme which includes insights sessions on asset management and the M&G business units. These are designed to be suitable for those without industry knowledge, and will provide an understanding of the whole spectrum of business areas within M&G. You will also attend business info sessions relating specifically to the investment teams at M&G, these informal small group sessions give you the opportunity to discuss teams and roles in more depth.

Interns are also invited to networking and social events, and provided with a buddy from our graduate cohort who will act as an informal support contact.
