What do we do?
Distribution Operations is a global enterprise comprising myriad functions that support the success of the business, including Project Management, Business Analysis, Brokerage and Process Automation to name but a few.
What will I be doing?
Over your two year apprenticeship programme, you will be based in our Surrey office, where you'll not only learn how operations is pivotal in making our organisation work seamlessly, but also build your knowledge of the wider business itself. Within the wider operational management area we have apprenticeships in either in investment operations, retail pensions operations or banking, reconciliation & controls.

This team is responsible for identifying and monitoring open and executed orders through the lifecycle of a trade. This will involve ensuring best execution, timely settlement as well as all trade and settlement costs. A key part of the role will be liaison with third party vendors as well as the specialist brokerage team in client services.
Retail Pension Operations
The retail pension operations department is currently one of the fastest growing areas of the business. The team is responsible for processing the core element of Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) administration including transfers in and out, benefit calculations and payment, death, divorce cases, investment transactions and the day to day management of the SIPP.
Banking, Reconciliations & Control (BRC)

In addition, BRC includes the processing of fund distributions, tax & interest accrual processing and various other control related activities for Customer Services.
Training
You will be on a level 3 investment operations technician apprenticeship. At every stage, your development will be underpinned by the best training and professional certified courses with the aim of employing you full-time once you have completed your apprenticeship qualification. You will spend one day a week offsite as part of your apprenticeship programme, fully focused on your learning and development.
What we look for
Academic Standard
We look for candidates to have a minimum of three C's at A level or equivalent and to have already obtained at least five GCSEs between A*-C, two of which we prefer to be English and Maths.
Learning and development
Unlike other firms that hire on a volume basis, we take on a select number of apprentices. You will be highly valued here, so your development is heavily invested in from day one.
Salary and Benefits
