Job description
You’ll help enhance various communication efforts, conduct prospect- and investor-focused research, complete a variety of special projects, participate in brainstorming sessions with colleagues, and attend meetings with investors. Throughout the summer, you’ll work closely with your manager and other mentors who will support your professional development. You’ll exercise existing strengths and develop new ones through our robust, customized learning curriculum designed to help you build a strong foundational knowledge of our firm and industry. You’ll also have regular opportunities to learn about us and our industry from internal and external experts, get to know employees across the firm, and enjoy events and outings with other interns and colleagues.
- In keeping with our firm’s culture, we’re more interested in curiosity, entrepreneurialism, and initiative than we are in any particular skill or experience.
- We're seeking highly accomplished students with excellent attention to detail, who have well-developed written and verbal communication skills, solve problems creatively, and thrive on collaboration.
- Candidates should have the ability to grasp financial concepts and an interest in financial markets, but no previous finance experience is necessary. We welcome and encourage applications from individuals from all academic disciplines. We’ll help you learn what you need to know, both through our training program and hands-on experience working with your manager and colleagues. Students in this program are usually approaching their final year of full-time study.
At the D. E. Shaw group, we believe the diversity of our employees is core to our strength and success. We are committed to supporting our people in work and in life, which is why we offer benefits such as a family planning and surrogacy program and a charitable gift match to all full-time employees.
