Distribution and Client Services

The success of our company depends on putting our clients at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to exceeding our clients' expectations in every way. The effective marketing of our products and services, and a client-focused sales effort is essential in generating new business and retaining existing clients. This also helps us maintain a leading edge in a competitive marketplace.

At the heart of our business is a group of marketing and sales professionals that fully understand our clients' needs and we are now offering a new and exciting opportunity for ambitious and motivated graduates to be part of this team. Our graduate programme is focused on developing the range of skills, knowledge and experience that will ensure future success within this ever-changing environment.

You'll be part of an expanding and successful business area, supporting Standard Life Investments in its growth in assets and client numbers. Rotating between a number of departments, you will gain insight into the processes and products that have led to the impressive growth of our company.

From day one of this two year programme, you'll be tasked with gaining a full understanding of our products and funds. The best way to do this is through a series of placements in the key business areas. This will give you essential insights into the way the Company operates and will highlight the importance of our client service proposition. It will also allow you to get a real feel for our business and its people so that you can ultimately generate ideas for new products and services.

As well as this hands-on approach, you will undertake specific courses of study to help you bolster your technical knowledge, including the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) and the Investment Administration Qualification (IAQ) as appropriate.

A tailored personal development programme will supplement this technical training. With the support of your mentor, you will have the opportunity to build on your strengths and develop the skills needed to become a key business communicator and influencer.

We are currently recruiting graduates for September 2009.
