As a graduate at Campbell Lutyens, you will work with, and learn from, some of the leaders in the industry and have the opportunity to work on landmark projects with leading private capital firms and global institutions.
We give graduates responsibility and opportunities to make an impact from the outset. We also equip you with the knowledge and skills required in both areas of the business, since we operate as an integrated team across our business.
Structure
Our graduate programme provides you with insight into all aspects of Campbell Lutyens’ business, before you commence your career with us on a permanent basis, in either our fund placement or secondaries advisory team.
A six-week training programme is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to work in both primary placement and secondary advisory. You will also have the opportunity to meet with your future colleagues, and complete your regulatory exams.
Before you join your permanent team, you will spend three months on a rotation with the other side of the business. During this time, you will deepen your understanding of how we operate as one team, as well as having the opportunity to work on live projects.
