Opportunity Overview
Ninety One, a leading asset manager in South Africa, invites ambitious early-career individuals in Cape Town to apply for its Nexus Graduate Programme. This programme is designed for those with a strong technical background eager to develop their skills from day one.
Participants will first master Ninety One's technology architecture, data principles, and internal working methodologies alongside the dedicated tech team. This foundational knowledge will then be applied in project squads, where graduates will tackle real business challenges through digitally led initiatives. The programme offers global exposure, meaningful responsibilities, and the chance to make a real impact within the organisation.
Minimum Requirements
You should consider applying if you meet the following criteria:
- A Degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Actuarial Science, Statistics, Mathematics (with a technical orientation), or a related technical field.
- A strong academic record.
- A willingness to learn, ask questions, and grow within a collaborative team setting.
Key Responsibilities
As a participant in the Nexus Graduate Programme, you will:
- Learn Ninety One’s technology architecture, data principles, and tools.
- Collaborate with the technology team on active projects.
- Design and implement technology-enabled solutions.
- Develop AI-powered products and workflows.
- Participate in cross-functional project squads.
- Contribute to the modernisation of business processes using technology.
- Apply a technological perspective to various business challenges.
What the Work Involves
In the initial phase of the programme, you will immerse yourself in Ninety One's core technology architecture, data principles, and operational tools, working directly with the tech team. This involves building and deploying practical, tech-enabled solutions and contributing to the development of AI-powered products and workflows.
Following this foundational period, you will transition into cross-functional project squads. Here, you will apply your technological skills to modernise various aspects of the business, taking on real challenges and offering a technology-driven approach to both technology and non-technology related issues. The work is digitally led and involves collaborating within project teams to drive innovation and impact.

What an internship actually is
An internship is a fixed-term work-experience placement for someone who already holds a qualification. Unlike a learnership, it does not award a new qualification — its purpose is to convert a certificate, diploma or degree into the experience that entry-level adverts keep asking for. In the public service these run for a set term and are generally not renewable.
How internships work: the week, the qualification and where it leads →Watch out for this
Government internships are usually once-only: having completed one, you may be ineligible for another. Check the advert's exclusion clause before applying if you have interned before.
