Behavioural/Data Science Intern – Summer 2025

Join our Behavioural Innovation and Research team for a two-month paid internship focused on applied behavioural science and data analysis. You’ll contribute to real projects developing behavioural engagement tools — helping people overcome common biases and make better decisions. Your main project will explore relationships between financial personality traits (e.g., risk tolerance, confidence, composure) and individuals’ financial circumstances — including cash flows, investible, and non-investible assets. Additional correlates such as financial knowledge, investment experience, and sustainability considerations may also be explored.

• Contribute to projects using data and behavioural insights to personalise financial advice
• Analyse behavioural and financial data to inform tool and product development
• Help design prototypes and document findings for internal and external audiences
• Support communication of insights across teams (e.g. Product, Sales)
• Learn about behavioural engagement and our approach to guiding investor decisions

Required skills and experience  

• Postgraduate (or final-year undergraduate) study with strong quantitative elements — e.g. behavioural science, data science, economics, finance
• Strong coding, analytical, and statistical skills — including Python (core data science libraries), data transformation and visualisation, and version control (Git)
• Interest in applied behavioural or decision science
• Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly
• Organised, precise, and detail-focused

Good-to-have skills and experience  

• Behavioural finance or decision science
• Financial services, particularly wealth management, financial advice, retirement, or self-directed investing
• Survey design, psychometrics, or data visualisation
• Basic familiarity with machine learning or data engineering concepts

You don’t need to have it all — we value curiosity and a broad toolkit. You’re more fox than hedgehog — someone who enjoys applying a range of skills to solve practical problems.

We’re a small, ambitious team applying behavioural science to the real world of financial decisions. Our work spans investor profiling, engagement tools, and behavioural nudges — all designed to personalise advice and improve long-term outcomes.

You'll join an international, collaborative team working across research, product, and design to help investors not just decide what to invest in — but how to behave while doing it.
