Graduate Programme - GenAI

• Are you torn between the excitement of start-ups and the stability of corporate life?
• Are you interested in playing a key role in shaping how innovative companies adapt and implement generative AI, and be supported while taking ownership of work that matters?
• Are you keen to continue learning and developing skills whilst experiencing how to build businesses?

If this sounds like you and you are up for the challenge, we would love to hear from you!

We are looking to hire high-energy, entrepreneurial, and value-adding graduate talent to join a newly formed Generative Tech team at Blenheim Chalcot, a world leading digital venture builder.

THE GRADUATE OPPORTUNITY

As part of our 2023 Graduate Programme, we are excited to be launching a new Generative AI cohort. Joining Blenheim Chalcot as a Graduate you will gain hands on experience in a fast-paced and progressive environment, where you will support us in building our next generation of tech businesses using generative AI. You will also embark on a unique learning programme, BC Adventurers, designed by our very own learning business, BC RedTeam, helping you develop and grow your entrepreneurial toolkit. This opportunity will kickstart your career working across a range of business disciplines to help our companies embrace and adapt to generative AI.

For you as a graduate, this opportunity involves:

• Exposure to the BC portfolio – this role is unlike any other graduate programme. As a BC Gen AI Graduate, you will be part of Blenheim Chalcot's central Venture Builder Services working across the portfolio on a variety of Gen AI focused projects, gaining invaluable insights and tangible experience to develop your career within the industry.
• Training & Development – we pride ourselves on having an intentional and continuous learning and development culture at Blenheim Chalcot. Our training L&D programmes focus on solving real business problems in the face of high uncertainty and rapid change. The training & development programme will help you develop fundamental hard and soft skills, improve strengths, and harness new capabilities. As such, your ability to impact venture success will be amplified by access to shared learnings from leaders across the portfolio, your peer group and the centrally located VBS team. You will learn by 'doing'; the most effective approach to develop quickly.
• BC Adventurers – you will be enrolled on a 15-month intensive cross-portfolio development programme, designed for those early in their careers or new to the start-up world. The goal is to prepare you for high performance in a fast-paced and agile environment, whilst giving you a kick-start to your entrepreneurial journey. The programme includes live training on Achieving Product Market Fit, Strategic & Operational Excellence and Communication & Leadership. You will be given an opportunity to apply your learnings through a series of group activities and exercises.
• Our Community Programme – one of BC's core values is collaboration. Upon joining, you will be welcomed into a collaborative community programme with your fellow graduates, where you will have monthly gatherings, initiatives, and socials. You will also have access to a mentor from our Pioneer programme, as well the opportunity connect with our 2022 graduates. This is designed to help you to network, learn from one another and gain exposure to the wider BC portfolio. You will get to know the BC culture, share learnings, solve problems together, live out the company values of being curious and generous with knowledge, and most importantly have fun while doing it!
• Accountability – in large corporates it can be easy for a graduate to be swallowed up and not actually see the impact of the work they are producing or feel like they are accountable for anything tangible. In our environment at BC, it is quite the opposite. Our graduates will be part of the team building a tech company and be supported whilst having the opportunity to take ownership of work that matters.

ARE YOU BC?

We are not expecting you to have worked in start-ups before or to have studied a tech related degree. For us, it is about hiring the right person and their potential, not just their experience. As such, we are looking for graduates from any discipline – different areas of expertise are great for new perspectives.

We look for some key fundamentals in people when hiring into the BC Group. We look for people who are:

• Curious – people in BC are inquisitive, they want to understand 'why' and consider if there is a better approach rather than take on the 'it's how we've always done it' perspective. Given our ethos is all about disrupting industries with new methods and products, curiosity is at the heart of what we do.
• 'Doers' – surprisingly, this is not a given in a lot of working environments; we are a community of pro-active self-starters. We will provide full support to our graduates, though we do look for proactive people who can use their initiative and drive on a daily basis. Working in an environment where everyone has this trait is incredibly refreshing and we strive to maintain it.
• Flexible Mindset – working in a growth business environment is ambiguous, diverse and, at times, chaotic by definition. Being adaptable and recognising the importance of flexibility to add value in a constantly evolving company is vital for us.
• Enthusiasm – you do not need to be a 'techy' at heart to work in our environment. We are looking for people who are enthusiastic about what digitalisation is doing to industries and a drive to work in a pioneering sector which represents that drive. A desire for doing new and challenging things makes coming into work a whole lot more fun.
• Humble & Sociable – building a tech start-up is never easy. As such, we have a 'no-ego' policy and seek out people who bring energy to a team, not drain it. We have a down-to-earth and personable culture; we solve complex problems but do not take ourselves too seriously and look to have fun whilst doing so.

If you see yourself in this and would like to work with similarly minded people, we would love to hear from you!

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU:

• Be part of the UK's leading digital venture builder and have the opportunity to be a part of and learn from the incredible talent in BC
• Be exposed to the right mix of challenges and learning and development opportunities, including secondments and the opportunity to move around VBS or/and its ventures
• A fun and open, if a little cricket obsessed, atmosphere
• Discretionary bonus
• 25 days of paid holidays + your birthday off
• Life Assurance, Pension Scheme, Cycle to Work Scheme
• Flexible Benefits including Private Medical and Dental, Gym Subsidiaries

APPLICATION & PROCESS

If you are keen to apply, please submit your CV and a member of our Talent Team will contact you with next steps. We have a rigorous recruitment process, which we use for all our roles to ensure we attract the very best talent.

We have a three-stage process that will consist of the following:

Stage 1: Telephone interview with a member of BC VBS team

Stage 2: Virtual assessment day, consisting of both individual and group activities

Stage 3: In-person final interviews at our offices in Scale Space, White City
