Who are we looking for?

The GS Verde Academy is looking for enthusiastic graduates who are eager to jump head-first into a fast-paced corporate position. Someone who is confident and organised will fit in well in our dynamic multidiscipline environment.

While the Academy is a graduate program, the Academy isn't just for university graduates. As long as you are able to commit to a full-time position and have at least a GCSE Grade C (or 4) in English and Maths, you are welcome to apply.

Ideally, you will have ambitions to build a professional career and be ready to contribute pioneering ideas that will both upgrade your experience within the Academy and contribute to the evolving strategies within the GS Verde Group.

Academy members should be hard working and able to optimise their time with GS Verde Group to deliver successful and collaborative progression.

As well as being a member of the Corporate Finance Team, Legal team, etc., you will also be a member of the Academy cohort with your fellow graduates.

The cohort provides another support network beyond your chosen discipline, as well as extra flexibility. If you joined the Academy to pursue a Communications role but are later drawn to Corporate Finance, you have the opportunity to explore that discipline too.

Our collaborative, multidiscipline and flexible approach means that GS Verde Group is an excellent place to start your career journey and develop and nurture your skills.
