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.
