We do this by helping our clients organise, visualise and use their data (think Figma or Canva but for the ‘City’). Our clients include the world’s biggest consultancies, leading financial institutions and top law firms.\nJigsaw was founded by two seasoned entrepreneurs, Stephen and Travis. This is their second venture together; their first was acquired by a US private equity firm and went on to become a billion-dollar company and a household name in professional service firms across the world. Jigsaw is now on a growth trajectory few Series A companies achieve - putting us in the top quartile SaaS companies globally. Today we proudly serve thousands of users from nearly two hundred businesses worldwide, who love our products and use them everyday.\nBut we’re only getting started! We have ambitious goals and we’re looking for talented people to help us achieve them.\nWhy join us?\nWe're not about the corporate grind; instead, we thrive on creativity, enthusiasm, and a touch of humour to make magic happen.\nWe hire people with high ownership and a bias for action. Then we trust and empower them to do their best work.\nThe opportunity\nWe're looking for three Trainees to join Jigsaw in January 2027 on a 12-month rotational programme. It's an entry-level, generalist scheme: you'll work across the three core functions of Jigsaw, Client, Build and Ops, seeing how most of the business runs, and working out where your strengths really lie.\nYou don't need a degree, and you don't need to have done this kind of work before. We don’t care about a polished CV, we want someone with the right attitude, energy, and a curiosity to try out a range of different roles. At the end of the year there's the potential for a permanent role.\nIs this for you?\nThis programme is for people who don't yet know exactly what they want to do next, and see that as a reason to explore rather than a problem to fix. You might be leaving school, college or university, or returning to work after a career change and happy to start at square one.\nIt's not for you if you already know the career you're chasing. If you want to become a software engineer, a lawyer or a specialist in one field, a dedicated graduate or apprenticeship scheme will serve you better. Here you'll move teams every few months, switch between very different kinds of work, and won't be specialising in any one craft.\nHow the year works\nYou'll report to our COO, who has helped build several successful startups. Each rotation gives you real work to own, with people in the team to learn from along the way.\nOnboarding and Product Success (first six weeks)\nYou'll start together as a cohort. You'll spend time with our Product Marketing team learning about the product and who our clients are, then join Product Success. There you'll see the end-to-end cycle of what we build, how clients use it and how it gets implemented, and you'll start working with clients yourself. From there, each of you moves into a different area and you rotate through the rest of the year.\nClient\nYou'll learn how we identify what a client needs and how we pitch Jigsaw. In prospecting, you'll get to know our ideal customer profiles, reach out to and build relationships with potential clients, and report on sales results. In Customer Success, you'll support existing clients, shadow client calls, organise training sessions on behalf of a Customer Success Manager, help shape retention strategies and find ways the team can work more efficiently with AI. You may also help with marketing and social content.\nBuild\nYou’ll get involved in the day-to-day operations of how a technology company plans and manages their work. You'll see how a product gets built in an AI-native company, and how that changes the way the work is done. You'll follow the journey from an idea to the roadmap to a shipped feature.\nOps\nYou'll learn what it takes to scale a business of any kind. In RevOps, you'll help organise the sales tools we use, such as HubSpot and Jiminny, shape the playbook the sales team runs on, and build the content and emails we use for outreach. Across Ops, you'll develop strategic thinking, project management and commercial awareness, and may take on AI project work.\nYou'll thrive if\nYou'd rather explore and find the right thing than follow a set path\n\nIt genuinely bugs you when something isn't working as well as it could, and you want to fix it\n\nYou're curious, get stuck in and enjoy solving problems you haven't seen before\n\nYou communicate well, get on with all kinds of people and can think on your feet\n\nYou adapt quickly and bounce back when things don't go to plan\n\nYou can point to goals you've set yourself and hit, whether in study, work, sport, a hobby or a side project\n\nYou're low-ego, coachable and take ownership of the outcome\n\nWhat you'll get\nA year that gives you a genuine head start, wherever you go next:\nA view of the whole business. Few early-career roles let you see how a growing software company wins clients, builds product and scales its operations, all in one year\n\nReal work from the start. Each rotation comes with work you own and deliver, not just tasks to shadow, and you'll work directly with clients at some of the world's leading law firms and financial institutions\n\nSupport around you. You'll join as a cohort of three, report to our COO and have people in each team to learn from, with regular check-ins and reviews throughout each rotation\n\nSkills that travel. You'll build communication, problem-solving, project management and commercial skills, and learn how an AI-native company works day to day\n\nClarity on what's next. By the end of the year you'll know where your strengths lie, with the potential to move into a permanent role at Jigsaw\n\nWhat to expect\nA video screening call: An intro call with a member of the people team to learn more about you, and what you’re looking to get out of this programme\n\nA video hiring manager call: Meet with the COO who will want to understand more about your ways of working and how you tackle challenges\n\nAn on-site interview day: If selected, you’ll join us in our London office on November 27th. You’ll complete a group task, meet with some of our managers, and stay for Friday drinks to get to know the rest of the team\n\nAs this programme is based out of our London office, you’ll need to be able to commit to our hybrid 3-days in office arrangement, and hold full UK working rights. Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide sponsorship for this programme.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6614,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Services","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-06T20:31:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T23:46:17Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/jigsaw-trainee-programme","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/jigsaw-trainee-programme.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T23:46:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3733,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":71532},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=71532"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjigsaw-trainee-programme"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fjigsaw-trainee-programme"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fjigsaw-trainee-programme"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/jigsaw-trainee-programme\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjigsaw-trainee-programme"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3888716}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"jigsaw.ae","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3888716},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
