OVERVIEW:
The D. E. Shaw group seeks motivated, intellectually curious students to join one of our strategy and business development (SBD) groups during our summer internship program. Throughout the internship, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with an inclusive and collegial team on challenging, impactful projects that are core to the firm’s internal and external development. This is a ten-week program that will take place in New York and is expected to run from June to August 2025.
WHAT YOU’LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
You’ll take on projects that require rigorous analytical thinking and creative problem solving. You might assess which markets our trading strategies should expand into; help create digital, video, and print content that strengthens the firm’s position in the industry; enhance our marketing strategy and thought leadership; or participate in internal consulting work, such as researching where to open a new office or estimating our carbon footprint.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
- We’re interested in highly accomplished students with demonstrated intellectual curiosity and keen analytical aptitude.
- We seek individuals who excel at taking a structured and detailed approach to solving problems, communicate effectively (verbally and in writing), take initiative, can drive projects forward, and thrive on collaboration.
- We welcome and encourage applications from individuals from all academic disciplines; no previous finance experience is necessary. We’ll help you learn what you need to know through both 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.
- The position offers a monthly base salary of $10,000, overtime pay, a sign-on bonus of $5,000, travel coverage to and from the internship, and choice of furnished summer housing or a $10,000 housing allowance.
