Many finance and business-related organisations have offices in the City of London. As a result, people often describe many of the careers associated with these organisations as ‘City Jobs’. All of these careers, however, can be found in organisations around the country – not just the City of London.

There are many ‘City Jobs’. Some examples include:

  • Underwriter: Reviews an organization’s finances and assesses the risk for lenders when considering a loan.
  • Auditor: Examines financial records and procedures to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
  • Management Consultant: Solves complex business problems and develops strategies to improve performance.
  • PR Manager: Creates and maintains a positive public image for an organization or client.
  • Marketing Manager: Plans promotional strategies for products, services, or brands using advertisements, email campaigns, social media, and events.
  • Accountant: Assists businesses in making critical financial decisions by managing and correcting financial records.
  • Business Development Manager: Builds relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners to foster business growth.
  • Investment Analyst: Helps stock market traders, brokers, and fund managers make informed investment decisions.
  • Personal Assistant (PA): Provides administrative support, including diary management and event planning, for individuals and managers.

When planning future careers, it is important to consider your skills and interests. For example, someone who excels in mathematics, enjoys puzzles, and follows financial markets might consider a career as an Investment Analyst.
