What does your company do?
Fidelity International provides investment services and retirement expertise to 2.5 million clients worldwide. That’s everyone from central banks and financial institutions, to wealth managers and private individuals.
Our purpose at Fidelity is to build better financial futures for our clients. This means giving people the power to get, and stay, in great financial health throughout every stage of their lives, right the way through until retirement.
We believe that investing over the long-term is critical to achieving this. And as a privately-owned company, we can think generationally in terms of the services we build and provide, as well as the way in which we invest on our clients’ behalf.
Why is Surrey a great place to work?
As the UK site head for Fidelity, I’m obviously biased! But our Kingswood Fields site is a beautiful place to work. It’s a 28-acre estate that was recently awarded the prestigious Biodiversity Benchmark by the Wildlife Trust, making us the first financial services organisation to have met their rigorous standards.
It’s a great place to work at any time of day – be it taking a mid-morning walk while you gather your thoughts, participating in a lunchtime sports day and BBQ, or a post-work quiz night to support local charities.
What opportunities do you have available?
Anyone can visit the Fidelity International careers website pages and check out the roles we have on offer. From those just starting out, who might be looking for placements, internships or graduate schemes, to those already on the career ladder and looking for a new challenge. We’re always looking for outstanding people from different career backgrounds.
Fidelity’s a great place to work. We were named in the top 50 winners of the annual Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards, which is a list of the UK’s 50 best places to work in 2024. And only last year we made The Times’ Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality list.
So, if you’re looking at that job advert and wondering if you should apply, my advice would be to go for it!
What advice would you give to those looking to take their next step?
In the first instance, I’d say take a look at our careers website. There’s a lot of information there about Fidelity and the different roles we have available. And if you think it sounds like a good fit, then see which specific roles we have available and apply online.
