Description:

Mercer Riyadh | 6 -Month Paid Co - op Internship - Investment Consulting

Finishing your degree this semester, or already graduated and hunting for something more than a coffee-fetching internship? This is a real seat at the table.

Mercer is part of Marsh (NYSE: MRSH) - 76,000+ people worldwide working across risk, strategy, and people. Mercer itself has 25,000+ colleagues in 44 countries, shaping how the world invests, retires, and thinks about wellbeing. Join us in Riyadh and get hands-on with the work that actually moves client portfolios.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Getting stuck into investment manager searches, asset allocation studies, and portfolio construction reviews — not just watching from the sidelines.

• Helping build client-facing materials: analysis, commentary, performance reporting, and advice, done properly and to deadline.

• Running Mercer's own proprietary tools to analyse asset allocations and investment managers, and actually thinking critically about what the results mean.

• Liaising directly with investment managers, record keepers, and custodians to chase down or clarify client data.

• Backing up our investment consultants as they manage client and prospect relationships.

• Pitching in on internal projects and firefighting ad-hoc questions from clients, managers, auditors, and colleagues.

• Holding your own in conversations with clients and colleagues at every level - confidence included.

What's in it for you:

• A genuinely paid, 6-month internship - you'll be working like an analyst, not just observing one.

• A dedicated mentor in your corner for support and guidance.

• Structured, formal training to build real skills, not just tick a box.

• A potential launchpad into a full-time role at Mercer.

What you'll need to bring:

• A bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, Accounting, Economics or something in that family.

• Solid analytical instincts - comfortable with numbers and with nuance - plus a good working knowledge of Excel.

• Some exposure to data analysis and putting together clear, sharp presentations.

• Strong communication skills, spoken and written - you'll be talking to clients, not just crunching numbers alone.

• Genuine curiosity and an appetite to keep learning new tools and skills.

• The flexibility to adapt fast when deadlines shift or client needs change (because they will).

• Sharp organisational skills and an eye for detail that doesn't let things slip.

• Working towards your CFA designation.
