About the programme
Woozle Research is offering a 6-month paid graduate programme for future investment researchers looking to fast-track their careers.
You'll rotate across our two core research teams:

This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from senior investment professionals, contribute to live projects, and build a network in the investment world.
