DRW: does its leadership rotation network sponsor a UK visa?

NoLeadership Rotation Network (LRN) Analyst and Intern

No. DRW does not sponsor its leadership rotation network for international students who need a visa. The Leadership Rotation Network is DRW's year-long rotational programme across middle and back office teams in London, starting with an immersive onboarding on market fundamentals before rotations. The LRN Analyst posting is for graduates in business, finance, business analytics, economics or related subjects graduating between December 2026 and June 2027; a matching LRN Intern posting covers students graduating between December 2027 and August 2028. Both London postings require work authorisation in the UK without the need for sponsorship in the future.

The catch: The future-sponsorship wording rules out Graduate visa holders who would later need a Skilled Worker visa, not just students who need sponsorship on day one.
