General Counsel Graduate Programme 2023 - Hong Kong

Who we are

We’ve been helping clients plan and invest for their futures for over 50 years. From more than 25 locations around the world, we provide investment services and retirement expertise to everyone from central banks to private individuals. We’re known for acting with integrity and thinking for the long-term. And across our organisation, we foster a welcoming, caring and inclusive culture where people feel respected, trusted and able to be themselves.

The team you’ll join

General Counsel operates as a trusted advisor to all parts of Fidelity International. Our job is to provide high-value advisory and assurance expertise through our specialist teams. We are aligned to the Fidelity business units, Investment Solutions & Services and Workplace and Personal Financial Health, as well as proving support at the Fidelity Group level, and to other corporate enablers, such as technology and human resources.

What you’ll be doing
On our two-year programme, you’ll go straight into the action – experiencing the work first-hand and rapidly learning how the General Counsel team delivers for our Asset Management business. The graduate will rotate on four six-month placements across a number of teams, which may include the following: 

• Business and Regulatory Compliance
• Investment Compliance and Monitoring
• Legal
• Compliance Monitoring
• Compliance Reporting
• Financial Crime Management
• Anti-bribery and Corruptions Management
• Risk
• Internal Audit

The difference you’ll make

You’ll contribute to positive, meaningful work that make a difference to our clients. You’ll help them invest and plan for the futures they want. You’ll provide invaluable support to your team, too.

How you’ll be supported

You’ll start with a welcome and an orientation, where you’ll meet your fellow interns and find out all about us and our work. Once the programme begins, you’ll learn every day – from the experts around you and through tackling real projects. Our focus will be on supporting you to gain experience and discover what kind of future you could build in our industry.

What we’re looking for

It’s who you are that matters here, rather than what you studied. We look for interns who are analytical, eager to learn and ready to take on a challenge. A genuine curiosity about investment is vital, as is a lively interest in our work and our industry. And, as we’re an international organisation, we’ll need you to speak English.

How to apply

This programme is open to students in the final year of undergraduate or master’s programme (Class of 2023 preferred). As part of our commitment to inclusion, we are a disability-friendly company. As such, we would welcome a conversation with you if you feel you might benefit from any reasonable adjustments to perform to the best of your ability during the recruitment process and beyond. For any enquiries regarding your application, you can reach us at earlycareersatfidelity@fil.com.
