Responsibilities

As a Graduate within the IIU you will learn at the feet of our team's expertise in statistics, software development, data visualisation, investment and other related skillsets. You will work in code, to review data, to provide decision support for your internal customers. You will think deeply and empathetically about what these customers need, and you will engage with them to update this understanding, ensuring your results are not just correct but also useful, understood and acted upon.
Your internal customers will primarily be the firm's analysts and fund managers, who will need your support in deciding how to invest Schroder's client's money wisely. These customers will provide you with a rich qualitative understanding of the market, its dynamics, and the properties of the particular companies within it. You will provide them with quantitative answers to discrete theses about these markets and companies, helping to assess the probabilities and impacts of future scenarios. As you come to understand their needs better you will start to pre-empt them, building pipelines and dashboards that automate the process of answering their questions, expanding the volume of decisions your work influences.
