Sales and Marketing Internship Programme
What will I be doing?
Over your eight weeks you’ll be allocated to one of our sales, marketing or product teams in either London or Surrey to give you a thorough understanding of our clients and their lifecycle, different markets and our products and solutions.
Sales
Within sales support you will gain exposure to clients, help to prepare for and attend client meetings, introducing Fidelity International and our capabilities. You will attend events to get to know prospective clients and assist in building relationships with existing contacts.
Marketing
You will work on innovative marketing campaigns and assist in developing new tools to help investors choose and manage their portfolios. You could also be analysing data and assisting with market research that enables us to identify new trends in the marketplace, or product opportunities ahead of our competitors.
Product
We have product roles across all our asset classes. You would liaise with the investment directors and the sales teams to provide market commentary and client presentations to deepen your product knowledge.
What we look for
We look for intelligent, quick-thinking students with a keen interest in the industry. For that reason, we take on people from all degree disciplines.
Thirst for knowledge
You will be highly driven with intellectual curiosity, ambition and an absolute commitment to serving the best interests of our clients. You’ll have the analytical skills to understand product performance and ideas to develop both new and existing markets.
Build networks
You will have the ability to build your network with individuals from a range of business cultures and backgrounds.
Confident and articulate
You must be confident, enthusiastic and articulate enough to shine in front of clients, particularly when presenting.
2:1 or above
You will be graduating in 2019 and you will have a minimum of three C’s at A level or equivalent and be on track for at least a 2:1 degree (or equivalent).
Learning and development
Unlike other firms that hire on a volume basis, we take on a select number of interns. Your input over the eight weeks will be highly valued here as we welcome you in to gain some real experience in a leading Investment Management organisation.
Induction
We don’t expect you to come straight in and know everything about what we do. You’ll start the internship with an induction, during which we’ll introduce you to asset management and how it fits into the City, as well as to the broader financial markets.
Lunch and learns
There are many ways to develop your skills as your internship progresses. A series of ‘lunch and learns’ hosted by key business speakers from Sales and Marketing, Equity Research, Technology, Eight Roads (our venture capital business) and Distribution Operations will give you a first-hand, genuine insight into the full scope of each of our businesses.
Salary and Benefits
We invest a lot of time and resource into our internship students, ensuring you receive a really strong remuneration package for your eight weeks with us. You will receive a pro rata annual salary of £30,000. You also have four days’ annual leave entitlement over the eight weeks.
