When choosing my first job I was looking for a company that saw the individual as more than their university and degree, I found that with Mondrian in the Finance team. Throughout the graduate program I took on a wide range of work and was constantly learning new technical and soft skills while being part of a close knit team. Since finishing the graduate program, Mondrian has sponsored me to complete my ACA qualification and given me opportunity to work with the senior managers and directors of the company. This culture of support in continued professional development is something which had initially attracted me to Mondrian.

Mondrian’s graduate program offers pro-active and hard-working graduates the opportunity to gain exposure to a wide range of business areas; providing an in-depth view of the operations of a global asset manager. As a Mondrian graduate, you’ll be engaged in a number of key projects, with opportunities to add value and explore unfamiliar areas of the business being prevalent throughout. Our calendar of social and sporting events create a great chance for graduates to engage in the affable culture, and combined with a collaborative work environment make for a very enjoyable place to work.

The graduate scheme at Mondrian provides a great opportunity to gain a varied whilst thorough grounding in asset management. Exposure to different departments through rotations and cross-function initiatives encourages individuals with an open-mind to ask questions and learn, take ownership and deliver projects from day one. Alongside this, Mondrian offers a very supportive environment to complete a professional qualification of your choice.

Mondrian runs a lean operation which means, unlike most graduate schemes, you will be involved in meaningful and challenging projects from the very start. The interconnected nature of the operations teams, and the ability to rotate between teams on secondments, provides a great opportunity to learn about everything that is required to run a successful asset manager. Mondrian combines a healthy level of competition with a family feel that results in an enjoyable place to work.

In 2016, one week after completing my degree, I joined the Mondrian graduate training program. Mondrian provides a structured graduate training program in a small company environment. The graduate scheme provides the perfect balance of both exam and on-the-job learning. The best thing about working at Mondrian is the support as an individual in an entrepreneurial culture. One week after completing my degree, I would never have imagined how much I would learn in my first few years of work.
