Quilter

Quilter runs four named early careers routes:

• Two-year rotational programme: Technology, Investment Division or Core Operational Area (Southampton or London), working towards a relevant professional qualification such as the CFA Investment Management Certificate
• One-year programme: investment management with Quilter Cheviot in London, open to candidates with or without a degree
• Eight-week AI graduate internship: Quilter's AI Centre of Excellence (Southampton or London), requires a relevant master's or PhD, and can lead to a two-year fixed-term Graduate Programme contract
• Apprenticeships: ongoing roles in areas such as HR and Operations (Southampton or London), combined with a two-year qualification by self-study

Because the AI internship is an explicit funnel into the two-year programme, and the one-year and two-year tracks both draw from investment-focused early-career applicants, a candidate is often implicitly competing across more than one Quilter route rather than choosing a single one.

For the cohort starting in 2026, applications for Quilter's two-year, one-year and eight-week AI graduate programmes have already closed, and each page states it will reopen for applications next year:

• Two-year programme (Technology, Investment Division): September 2026 start; Core Operational Area also ran an April 2026 intake
• One-year programme (investment management, London): September 2026 start
• Eight-week AI graduate internship (Southampton or London): 8 June 2026 start
• Apprenticeships (Southampton or London): no fixed cohort; individual roles are posted and applied for year-round on the jobs board

Because four of Quilter's five early-careers routes run on a single annual cycle that has already closed for this year, a candidate researching Quilter now is effectively scoping out next year's window rather than applying to a live one, except for apprenticeships, which stay open year-round.

Quilter is a constituent of the FTSE 250, dual-listed on the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges, and manages over £141.9 billion in assets as of 31 March 2026. Rather than running early-careers hiring as one generic graduate scheme, it routes candidates into named business-specific tracks, including a dedicated investment-management route inside Quilter Cheviot, its discretionary wealth-management business, and a separate AI Centre of Excellence internship that feeds into its core two-year programme.

For an early-career applicant, this means the choice is less about whether to work at Quilter and more about which specific business and qualification track fits, since the skills, location and professional qualification differ by route rather than following one shared graduate template.
