IT Graduate Internship (9 months)

About Triland Metals

Triland Metals Limited (TML) is a leading international commodities broker, specialising in base and precious metals derivative markets and risk management. We are a long-standing member of the London Metal Exchange (LME) and London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Headquartered in London, with regional offices in Dubai, New York, Singapore and Tokyo, Triland has been serving clients for over 50 years. It is wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, one of Japan's largest global trading and investment groups. TML is authorised and regulated by the FCA.

Our customers come from across the metals supply chain. From mining companies who are most at risk when prices fall, to consumers of metal who are adversely affected by high prices. Our role is to understand the specific needs of each customer and help them to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations so they can plan their cashflow with certainty.

The Role:

We are seeking an ambitious graduate to join our 9-month IT Graduate Internship in our London office. This rigorous programme provides direct exposure to our technology function through 3-month rotations across Cyber Security and Projects, enabling you to develop a broad understanding of our IT operations before building a long-term career within the IT team.

From day one, graduates will take on real responsibility, contribute to meaningful projects, and work closely with experienced professionals who will support their development through mentorship and hands-on learning. As part of the programme, graduates will also study for and pass the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment's (CISI) Certificate in Technology in Financial Services. This industry-recognised professional qualification will provide graduates with a strong foundation in the financial services sector, helping them develop a deeper understanding of our industry, markets, and business operations.

As a global trading company, technology plays a critical role in supporting front-office operations. The successful candidate will work closely with our trading teams and, with the support of senior members of the team, will often be a first point of contact for traders and business users requiring technical assistance. This role will involve occasional out-of-hours and weekend work to support business and operational requirements across global markets.

The position is well suited to someone who is comfortable working independently, can manage their own workload effectively, and enjoys taking initiative. We are looking for individuals who can think critically, solve problems proactively, and remain calm and resourceful when faced with technical challenges.

What We’re Looking For:

• A recent graduate with a minimum of 2:1 (or equivalent) in an IT, Computer Science or related technology discipline.
• Strong interest in building a career within a technology function within financial services.
• A good knowledge or understanding of basic coding languages (e.g. SQL, Python).
• An interest in and experience using AI tools (e.g. MS Copilot) to improve processes and problem-solving.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of tasks and outcomes.
• A proactive approach, with a willingness to take initiative and identify solutions to problems.
• Genuine desire to learn, adapt quickly and perform effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to work well under pressure, both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Commitment to undertaking and completing a relevant CISI qualification whilst working to build your understanding of financial markets and the industry.
• Flexibility to support occasional out-of-hours and weekend work when required.
