Job Details

We are committed to helping students near the end of their degrees, and recent graduates, make the transition from university to the working world. As part of our recruitment process we run a graduate programme each year in which we provide a short-term contract to selected applicants to gain experience at Intellidex. There is no guarantee of a longer-term position beyond the internship, but we have historically recruited from our interns. We offer both paid and unpaid internships at locations including Sandton, London and Boston. We may make several or no appointments in any year, depending on the applications we receive and business needs at the time.

Intellidex offers a high-calbre environment, working alongside PhDs, MBAs and CFA charterholders.

Unpaid internships:

These are offered to students who are required to obtain work experience as part of their degree programme, prior to graduation.

They last for one to two months usually during July/August/September each year. We will consider applicants in three areas:

  • Financial markets & economics, working on macroeconomic analysis, equities analysis, fixed income analysis. The intern will assist with financial markets research using software like Stata and Excel, accessing financial databases like Iress, Bloomberg and Infront, while gaining experience in working on client reports and understanding key institutions in the South African financial markets. Such applicants would be busy with degrees in economics, statistics or finance.
  • Financial journalism, working on producing content and interviewing subjects. Intellidex produces several publications based on its research usually in partnership with major media titles. Such applicants would be busy with degrees in journalism and media studies, or a finance-related degree.
  • Social science, working on survey research and data analysis connected to market research projects. Intellidex undertakes a wide range of market research usually connected to financial services. We provide exposure to several key areas of the financial services industry and hands on experience in gathering data and survey input. Applicants would be busy with degrees in sociology, politics, psychology, marketing or economics.

Deadline for applications: We usually consider applications in May each year for the Sandton placements and June of each year for the London and Boston placements. If you require an internship at a different time of the year we may be able to accommodate it, depending on business needs at the time. Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed.

Paid internships:

We look to place one intern in each of the following positions each year, usually starting January with either a three-month or six-month contract. These internships are for recent graduates who are taking their first steps in their career. A modest monthly stipend is paid.

  • Financial markets & economics, working on macroeconomic analysis, equities analysis, fixed income analysis. The intern will assist with financial markets research using software like Stata and Excel and accessing financial databases like Iress, Bloomberg and Infront, while gaining experience in working on client reports and understanding key institutions in the South African financial markets. Such applicants would be recent graduates in economics, statistics or finance.
  • Financial journalism, working on producing content and interviewing subjects. Intellidex produces several publications based on its research usually in partnership with major media titles.

Applicants would be recent graduates with degrees in sociology, politics, psychology, marketing, economics or similar subjects that require advanced primary research skills.

Deadline for applications: We usually consider applications in early November of each year, for work from January, but will consider applicants at other times of the year, depending on business needs at the time. Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed.

We have an opening for a social science graduate placement in Sandton and applications close 1 August 2019.

Guidance for applicants: We are interested in original and creative thinkers who are problem solvers. Your application should consist of a covering letter in which you demonstrate your ability and willingness to solve problems in undertaking research, which can often be complex and involve creative solutions to access the information needed. You should also provide a CV.
