Description
Lazard Asset Management London: Sales & Marketing Summer Internship
Who we are
Founded in 1848, Lazard operates in 41 cities across 26 countries with two core businesses: asset management and financial advisory. The Lazard Asset Management Group (“LAM Group”) has circa £177.5 billion assets under management across a wide range of global, regional and country-specific strategies - both traditional and alternative - in listed equity and fixed income.
We balance the feel of a small firm with the scale of a large global organisation. The individual matters - if you come up with a great idea, we can apply it to multiple investment portfolios to generate investment success for our clients.
We cultivate a workplace culture where exceptional talent thrives. We promote diversity and inclusion, foster professional and personal development, and encourage our people to engage with the communities in which we live and work. We believe that a workforce comprised of people with varied backgrounds and experiences creates a diversity of thought that empowers us to challenge conventional wisdom. We believe that diverse perspectives lead to better decisions.
The opportunity
We are excited to offer a unique opportunity to experience firsthand what it truly means to work in Sales and Marketing, immersing yourself in the Asset Management sector.
Candidates should have a thirst for learning and challenge consensual thinking. They should have a logical and analytical thought process and have an inquisitive mind. They need to possess strong interpersonal skills, including the ability and desire to work in a collaborative environment.
We are extremely proud of our track record in developing our interns to be successful long-term members of our team, and hope to offer this year’s candidates the opportunity to join us after their studies.
The programme will run from June to August and is based out of our London office.
Our culture is unique
Our culture is entrepreneurial and collegiate. Our sales and marketing teams work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes for our clients, as well as promoting our products to prospective investors.
Our Sales and Marketing teams are key to the continued growth of our business, the development of our products, getting our message heard and managing client relationships.
There are several departments within Sales & Marketing including: Third Party Distribution, Institutional Marketing, Direct Sales, Consultant Relations, Alternative Marketing and Central Marketing Services. These teams engage investors and their representatives to identify investment needs and explore ways in which LAM is positioned to meet those needs.
Our people are open, honest and straightforward. Former interns have commented how genuinely friendly and approachable we are, and how we go out of our way to help them learn.
