About the summer analyst role:
William Blair’s Investment Banking summer analysts can harness their potential by being part of a culture of collaboration and accountability that offers compelling work and direct client exposure.

Throughout the 9-10-week summer program, you will take on all functions of a full-time analyst, working alongside and supporting senior bankers in researching and creating marketing pitch materials, building financial models to value potential clients, and researching industries or sectors as determined by senior bankers in targeting certain clients or industries. In a short period of time, you will gain a high level of experience and exposure within the firm and will be able to play an integral role in various deals. 

The summer program also includes internal training, community service, and social events. After completion of the program, we hope to have most of our summer analysts join us as full-time analysts upon graduation.
