With over £74 billion of assets under management, we secure the pensions of more than one million people and pay out, on average, approximately £350 million in pension payments each month.

Rothesay is dedicated to providing excellence in customer service alongside prudent underwriting, a conservative investment strategy and the careful management of risk. We are trusted by the pension schemes of some of the UK’s best known companies to provide pension solutions, including British Airways, Cadbury, the Civil Aviation Authority, the Co-Operative, Morrisons, Smiths Industries and Telent. At Rothesay, we are striving to transform our industry. We believe deeply in creating real security for the future and our leadership in finding new and better ways to do that is the key to our success. To do that, we need the very brightest original thinkers to bring creativity as well as rigour. Rothesay is a rewarding place to work, where quality people can thrive and prosper. We pride ourselves on the connections our people build, many of whom have been with us for over ten years.

Internship programme:

Our internship programme is designed to provide hands on work experience within a fast-pace financial services environment, allowing you to develop the key skills to jump-start your career.

The 8-week structured programme will start with a fundamentals week offering insight into Rothesay, your team and the financial services industry. Throughout the programme there will be both on-desk and off-desk technical and business skills training, providing career building exposure to accelerate your future after you graduate. You will gain visibility and experience in a flat structure, with the opportunity to network and socialise across different levels and teams throughout the firm.

What you’ll do:

The engineering team at Rothesay develops and supports systems used by front office (trading, risk, strats, capital, pricing) and middle office (operations, finance).

We are looking for graduates to join our team to get involved in ongoing projects. The day to day of the job will involve developing requirements for an element of the system that we are building, contributing code to the new system and working with the team on testing of software components.

This is a great chance to work with and learn from Rothesay’s team of extremely highly regarded, experienced and friendly software engineers. At Rothesay every employee has the opportunity to make a real impact to the business. Our engineering team is open to new technologies and creative ideas.
