Graduate - Enterprise Leadership Programme

Royal London is the UK’s largest mutual life, pensions and investment company. We’re owned by our members and work for their benefit, not for shareholder profits, and that makes us different.

We’re looking for highly creative, intellectually curious and enthusiastic graduates to join our two-year cross functional and rotational programme starting September 2025.

You’ll be joining a supportive team of talented, diverse and passionate people who make a real impact on the lives of our customers every day.

What’s in it for you?

• Generous pension (double matching, up to 14%) and life assurance (up to X8 salary)
• 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays with the option to buy/sell up to 5 days.
• Private medical insurance, as well as 24/7 confidential access to health, legal and financial advice.
• Great office facilities, with hybrid working and placement location allowances and support available.
• Opportunity to join our inclusion networks, join events across the business and build your network.

What will you be doing?

• You’ll be joining a small cohort of Graduates on a two year, cross functional and rotational programme which has been designed to grow future enterprise leadership capability.
• Each placement will be structured to build knowledge and exposure to the full breadth of our core business, as well as receive targeted experiences that meet our strategic capability needs.
• The placements will be around eight months each and the exact rotation will depend on the needs of the business. This will include placements based from other sites in the UK or Ireland. As such, it is important that you are flexible and open minded.

In each new placement, you’ll have a dedicated People Leader and Buddy, as well as a Mentor that will stay with you throughout. You’ll also come together as a peer cohort group to:

Work on overarching projects over the whole two-year programme.

You’ll get to learn and work cross functionally with colleagues to analyse data and other inputs, helping to provide context to allow for informed business decisions.

As you learn and support with the day-to-day operations, we’ll look to you to show off your creative flair, bringing fresh perspective to existing processes and methodologies.
