About ION 

We are a Software Product Company with a global footprint in the FinTech sector. With more than 10,000 professionals across 40+ offices worldwide, we provide solutions combining trading and workflow automation, market data, and advanced business intelligence.  

Our Graduate Development Program is a three-year journey designed for recent graduates who look beyond the obvious, challenge existing processes, and are driven to automate and reinvent the way things work. 

The program is structured into 4 progressive phases, each with distinct learning objectives. Tasks evolve according to your abilities and interests, ensuring the experience is as individual as you are. 

From day one, you join ION on a full‑time permanent contract, carry real accountability on live projects, and be paired with senior professionals who guide your development throughout the entire journey.  


What You'll Do 

Across phases, you will work at different stages of the product lifecycle — from discovery to launch — gaining exposure to a wide range of teams, challenges, and methodologies. Your work will include: 

  • Conducting user interviews, usability tests, and surveys to generate actionable insights 

  • Mapping user journeys and service blueprints to identify friction and improvement opportunities 

  • Designing wireframes, prototypes, and visual mockups aligned to brand standards and user expectations 

  • Collaborating with product managers, developers, and operations teams to deliver consistent end-to-end experiences 

  • Presenting solutions, gathering feedback, and iterating based on real-world data 

 

What We're Looking For 

  • Master's degree in Product Design, Service Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field — obtained within the last year or currently in progress, with strong academic record 

  • Written and spoken English at B2 level or above 

  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams 

  • Based in Italy or willing to relocate; non-EU candidates must hold a valid EU work permit
