About Us
Standard Life is a major asset managing group headquartered in Edinburgh and operating across the globe. Established in 1825, Standard Life provides pensions, investment management, banking and healthcare insurance products to over 6.5 million customers worldwide.
As a graduate it's important to forge a career with a company that's a leader in its industry, has a sound reputation and great track record. But it's equally important that you choose a career with a company that genuinely cares about its people, its community and its social responsibility. Standard Life can offer you all of this combined with interesting and varied placement roles.
Why Standard Life?
If you come to Standard Life, we want you to be able to build a career here. We don't employ huge numbers onto our graduate programme. Smaller intakes suit our business needs better and ensure that you and your career get the attention you deserve.
We offer a wide variety of programmes and internships for graduates. That's why we're looking for a range of different talents and skills in our applicants. However, the recruitment process is definitely not a one-way street. While we want to find out if you're right for us, you of course want to find out if we're right for you.
