WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT
Wellington Management offers comprehensive investment management capabilities that span nearly all segments of the global capital markets. Our investment solutions, tailored to the unique return and risk objectives of institutional clients in more than 60 countries, draw on a robust body of proprietary research and a collaborative culture that encourages independent thought and healthy debate. As a private partnership, we believe our ownership structure fosters a long-term view that aligns our perspectives with those of our clients.
We are transitioning to a hybrid work environment where both remote work and the office play a critical role. Our vision is a future where all employees are empowered to work flexibly to drive the best outcomes for our clients. Flexible work is a mindset and a core value. Our employees are encouraged to work remotely two days a week as a standard practice and will have flexibility in terms of working hours.
The Business Associate (BA) Program is an exciting pathway into our firm for undergraduate Bachelor's students who are interested in the variety of career opportunities available in the investment management industry. This three-year, London based program will help you gain insight into our industry, firm and culture, as well as knowledge of the Client Group's business development and relationship management activities, in addition to gaining experience of many other business divisions that support our investment functions.
The program is split into rotations across the Client Group's regional teams where you will be developing your business and technical skillset all while assimilating into the firm, your job and our culture. During the course of the program, you will be discovering your long-term fit here at the firm and have opportunity to learn about other areas of the firm that could be complementary to your skills, interests, and business needs. BAs have successfully transitioned into roles on their current BA teams or into other teams in the firm.
