Application Process

What to expect when you apply

When you apply for a vacancy at SS&C you will receive an email confirming receipt within a few hours. We do receive a high volume of applications but we will try and keep you updated of the progress of your application at regular intervals (you can also view the progress by logging in to your job seeker's account). Once you have registered your CV with us it is also held on our database which we can use to search for other roles which fit your skills and requirements - so keep your SS&C Careers Centre profile as up to date as possible, even if you've applied for an apprenticeship with us.

Minimum entry requirement

Our minimum entry requirement is GCSE Maths and English Language Grade C or above for our early careers, OR demonstrable work experience relevant to the role you are applying for.
