  • Sales Graduate Program

    Multiple Global Locations

    Are you driven and self motivated? Do you love working with people?

    At Thomson Reuters, we believe the right information, in the right hands, at the right time, leads to amazing things. Through our sales teams, we provide invaluable information and insight to our customers that help drive their businesses forward. If you’re motivated by retaining and growing our business, whilst delivering exceptional customer service, we want to hear from you!

    The Sales Graduate Program (SGP) is designed for recent graduates from a broad range of academic backgrounds who demonstrate strong sales potential and can make a quick impact within the organization.

    Throughout the 15 month program, you will rotate through three of our sales and customer-facing teams where you will develop the skills necessary to launch a successful sales career within our Global Sales and Account Management team. You will learn about our customers, the products and information that power the financial markets and gain valuable insight into the industry that shapes our world. The SGP allows you to take advantage of all that Thomson Reuters has to offer. Whether it is through a comprehensive induction program, the wide range of training and development opportunities available, or the ongoing support of an experienced mentor, the SGP sets you up for success.

    On completion of the program, high-performing sales graduates would expect to move into permanent roles within our Global Sales and Account Management teams. The specific roles are not predetermined but would depend on individual aptitude and business needs.

    Are you a good fit?

    Our ideal candidate has a good mix of the following:

    • Bachelors degree – open to discipline with a history of strong academic results.
    • History of strong academic skills.
    • Fluency in English (Mandarin/Cantonese for Hong Kong) – additional languages are a plus.
    • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
    • Sales or customer-centric work experience – within the financial services sector is a plus.
    • A passion and drive to begin a career in sales.
    • An interest in Thomson Reuters and financial markets.
    • Curiosity to learn, innovation and creativity.

    Candidates must be legally and independently able to work in the location they are applying for. Shortlisted applications will be invited to take part in interviews and a full day assessment center event. The number of graduates offered positions will depend on the quality of the applicants and the business needs of Thomson Reuters in the recruitment year.

    A Fresh Start

    The program provides a platform for fresh graduates to understand the company and the financial market from different perspectives. I enjoy trying completely different roles on the front lines. It is a valuable opportunity to learn more about myself and plan for my career path.

    Supportive Culture

    I was impressed with the culture of Thomson Reuters from day one. My colleagues are eager to help and share their knowledge. I found it very encouraging.

    Senior Management Mentors

    The mentoring program provides constant support to newcomers from senior management. I am inspired by my mentor’s dedication to achieving business targets.

    “Learning something new every day is exciting and motivating.”

    Training Adds Value

    My most recent placement involved providing support to several of our sales and client specialists in the Americas region. This rotation has enabled me to travel all over the U.S. – training hundreds of our clients on an impactful tool that adds great value to their businesses.

    An Open Network

    The best thing about working at Thomson Reuters is the vast wealth of resources at my disposal. If there's a product or focus area that I want to educate myself on, there are virtually no boundaries preventing me from contacting the appropriate person in that field regardless of division or title.

    Smart Applications

    Working side by side with seasoned professionals has reinforced the class and online training that I've been exposed to, and allows me to apply those skills in the field.

    “The key benefits for me have been the financial training and certifications that I’ve attained within the Sales Graduate Program.”

    Broad Exposure

    The Sales Graduate Program consists of three rotations over 15 months. The rotational nature of the program has given me the chance to learn about different areas and teams within the organization and explore areas I like and am suited to.

    Steep Learning Curve

    After a few short weeks of shadowing, I was conducting my own training sessions and demos both on client sites and remotely (although the support of my colleagues was always there). It was a steep learning curve, but it was the most effective way to develop necessary skills.

    Working Environment

    The sales floor is an energetic and dynamic place to work. Along with an open and supportive company culture, this has offered an enjoyable start to my career.

    “The support you receive from current members of the sales team is excellent. As a company, everyone is very willing to help you learn and develop.”
