OVERVIEW:
The D. E. Shaw group seeks talented, intellectually curious individuals to join our Rotational Associates Program. Rotational associates collaborate on challenging, meaningful projects while rotating through three departments over the course of their first 12 months at the firm. The program is designed to provide associates with broad exposure to the firm’s activities while they receive coaching and mentoring in key areas—including financial modeling, project management, and quantitative and qualitative research—from accomplished colleagues with wide-ranging academic, professional, and personal backgrounds. Associates have gone on to manage investment portfolios and make other significant contributions at the firm. This program offers the opportunity to be part of an inclusive, collaborative, and engaging working environment.
WHAT YOU’LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
You’ll use your current strengths to innovate and make recommendations that impact the way we invest and operate, and you’ll build new skills that help shape the course of your career. You’ll work on a variety of projects like evaluating investment opportunities on our Global Macro desk, assessing the unique technological features of and landscape for surgical robots for our Fundamental Equities group, or researching whether or not to start a litigation finance business as part of the Corporate Development team.
