About LGC

LGC is an international life sciences tools business with a wide-ranging portfolio. The company partners with customers across healthcare, applied markets, academia, and government to support scientific progress and solve important challenges. Its long scientific history, combined with ongoing innovation and acquisitions, has helped it build deep expertise and strong customer relationships.

The organisation’s work spans areas such as pandemic response, precision medicine, agricultural improvement, and the safety of food and medicines. LGC places strong emphasis on work-life balance and aims to support hybrid working where possible, helping employees manage work alongside personal interests, learning, volunteering, and leisure. The business is guided by five core values: integrity, brilliance, passion, curiosity, and respect, and its purpose is to deliver Science for a Safer World.

Role Overview

This graduate opportunity sits within LGC Group’s Analytics Centre of Excellence in Corporate Finance. It is designed for an analytical, ambitious problem solver who wants to build a career at the intersection of data, finance, and technology.

• Gain broad exposure through a rotational programme that builds understanding of both financial and non-financial analytics.
• Earn a professional qualification while developing skills that strengthen your career prospects in data and finance.
• Benefit from mentorship, practical learning, and access to modern analytical technology in a supportive environment.

What We Are Looking For

• A minimum 2:1 bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience, in economics, finance, data science, or a related analytical discipline.
• Strong maths or economics background, supported by an A-Level grade of A or equivalent.
