Work Experience Programme Overview
Our Work Experience programme provides the opportunity to join Maven at an early stage of your career as you consider your options after leaving school. We believe everyone is entitled to a fair opportunity and make extraordinary efforts to seek potential candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Maven's work experience week offers first-hand insight into the day in the life of a Mavenite. The programme will focus on communication, employability skills and interview practice to prepare you for future recruitment processes. It will also provide you with a short-term project and work shadowing opportunities in one of Maven’s business areas. This is a unique opportunity for 6th form students who are keen to find out more about Maven, and fire up their professional skills in a friendly and collaborative environment. To be eligible for this programme, you must currently be studying at secondary school in year 12 or 13. Please note that while you may get the opportunity to network with employees from different areas of the business, including Trading, this is not a Trading-focused programme.
This programme is aimed at students who have minimal or no work experience and are looking to gain some guidance on their options after secondary school and some first-hand experience of what life is like at a company like Maven.
Please note, whilst you are required to upload a CV, it does not need to be perfect and can instead be a first draft. If you do not currently have one and this is a barrier to applying please reach out to [email protected]
Maven is proud to be using the Rare Contextual Recruitment System which allows us to understand each applicant’s achievements in the context in which they have been gained. We seek to recruit the best people, from every background, regardless of their personal circumstances, and the CRS helps us to do that, therefore we encourage all applicants to fill in the form that we will send you. The CRS is only ever used to screen people in, not out and under no circumstances are candidates ever marked down for supplying this information.
Deadline to apply is 6th May 2025.
What We Do
Maven implements both fundamental and quantitative trading & market making strategies across global financial markets, utilising only the group’s capital. We see ourselves just as much a technology firm as a multi-strat trading firm.
We aim to equip our traders with the best tools we can. We channel the advances in computer learning, processing power and network capacity into streamlining and improving all aspects of the trading operation, from front office to settlements. This is paired with meticulous and attentive execution and conservative risk management.
