Our Program
Our Leadership Development Program (LDP) is a foundational global initiative focused on developing talent for ION’s growing operations around the world. The program provides an opportunity for outstanding university graduates to start a career in a dynamic and fast-paced global FinTech firm.
Analysts will spend the first 18 months of their career in 3 diverse, 6-month rotations covering a broad range of ION's core capabilities. At the end of their 3 rotations, analysts will transition to a deeper dive in one area of ION. Sample rotations / deep dives include:
· Product Management
· Client Support
· Consulting and Delivery Services
· Sales and Account Management
Analysts will spend their first rotation contributing through a role in their home office. However, analysts may have the opportunity to spend their second or third rotations in another location.
Leadership Development Program analysts will explore various roles across multiple ION divisions. LDP has a presence in Toronto, New York, Chicago, Houston, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and London.
