What the work actually is

The team collects data. It reads research reports and company documents, pulls out the facts and builds a consensus view from them. Alongside that, it watches global trade publications, websites and news aggregators in real time.

The sources are public ones. The posting names government and regulatory documents, stock exchanges, industry journals and analyst reports. S&P Global internal research tools sit on top of those. Your job is to collect, summarise and bring together the parts that matter.

The role sits inside the Enterprise Data Organization. The posting names several teams in it: Fundamentals, Private Equity, Investment Management, Filings and Sourcing, Public Ownership, and Pricing Data for derivatives and equity. It says there are many more, so treat that list as a sample.

The six things you would be measured on

• Collect, analyse and extract financial data, then enter it in the work tools as the guidelines for your vertical say.
• Understand how your dataset works, know the workflows and know the tools well.
• Hit the individual and team targets that are set for you, and deliver quality with them.
• Troubleshoot problems and help the team improve the workflow.
• Reply to mail from coworkers and managers on time.
• Be proactive and show an aptitude for new learning.

Skills the S&P Global apprenticeship 2026 posting asks for

Four skill lines are on the posting, and one of them is the real filter.

• Excellent communication, both written and spoken.
• A strong grasp of corporate finance and accountancy, including financial statements and annual reports.
• MS Office skills: Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
• Strong quantitative, analytical and interpretive skills.

The finance line is the filter. This is a data job, but the data is financial. If you have not read a balance sheet or an annual report yet, spend a day on them before the interview.

Pay, shifts and place of work

S&P Global has not published a stipend here. The listing carries no figure, so treat any number you see elsewhere as unverified.

S&P Global describes the year as a step into the professional world, with global markets as the subject. You would also work with colleagues based in other countries.

Applications go through the S&P Global careers portal, on job ID 331333. Only electronic submissions are considered, and that is the company's own line on the listing.

S&P Global runs a fraud warning on this posting and it is worth repeating. The company never asks a candidate for money. Not for an application, not for an interview, not for an offer letter, not for pre-employment training, and not for equipment or its delivery. It also says mail from a spglobalind.com domain is a scam. Classic Jobs never charges for a job either.
