GO LOOKING FOR CHANGE
About the Programme
You will be part of a small group of driven individuals joining the prestigious MW Graduate Programme. The programme is non-rotational, so you will gain an invaluable depth of knowledge and will immediately have accountability for crucial tasks, but by the very nature of the Tax function at Marshall Wace, your multi-faceted work will cover a broad scope and provide exposure to all aspects of the business.
You will be supported towards the ICAEW chartered accountancy qualification, and beyond that we continue to support training and development throughout your career that suits your personal needs and trajectory
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for intellectually curious problem solvers who not only seek answers, but also desire to understand underlying the wider commercial context and impact. This role requires a motivated, results driven, and hardworking individual. Our team-first environment emphasizes strong interpersonal skills and the desire to help one another. On the technical side, some experience in finance or accounting may be beneficial but not essential to apply. Our ideal candidate also embraces technological learning. An advanced understanding of the Microsoft suite, primarily Excel, is preferred.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
This programme is tailored for graduates who wish to pursue a career in Tax with ample room for growth and professional development. You will join a tight knit team that not only encourages creative thinking, but thrives upon it.
The meritocratic atmosphere means your ideas will be given value from day one. In this dynamic environment, technological skills are highly valued. This is a truly unique opportunity to pursue a career in Tax at one of the world’s foremost alternative asset managers.
Applications are welcome with a minimum 2:1 degree in any subject with the ability to demonstrate a commitment to a career in Tax and Finance.
A mindset of innovation, brimming with ideas at every level, even in the everyday tasks.
We want people who think differently and who push hard stop to solve the problems and execute positive outcomes.
Our graduates need to think critically about a range of strategic issues impacting the business.
An ability to rapidly move between projects, often working on different tasks at the same time.
We build a lot of our systems in-house rather than buying systems and tweaking them, so the end products are 100% built to our specifications and are exactly what our teams need.
We’re almost like a tech start-up with a hedge fund attached.
Our lean organizational structure means every project has direct business impact.
We begin with an initial CV screening
If successful in the CV screening, we will contact you for a telephone interview, lasting around 30 minutes.
If you make it to the next round, you’re invited to attend an assessment centre at our offices. This will include a technical test, group activities and interviews with our team.
We appreciate the time and effort you will have put into your application and, whatever the result, we can offer you feedback on your application.
