Job description

Lazard is one of the world’s preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms. Our people and culture make the difference. While global in presence and reach, ours is a close, collaborative community of just over 3,000 professionals. Lazard is a place of continuous knowledge sharing, skill development and relationship building, where professionals grow and succeed together. Our entrepreneurial culture, flat structure and embrace of individual differences, allow creative ideas, original concepts, and unique perspectives to drive our business forward — and for careers to take flight.

As an intern you will be assigned to a sector or product team for the duration of the ten‑week programme, providing exposure to different teams, bankers, and clients. You will be involved in real work for real clients, so not only will you gain invaluable practical experience, but you will also have exposure to a network of senior finance experts who will be on hand to share their experiences with you and to offer you support and guidance.

You will be supporting our transaction teams in project work by conducting:

• financial and statistical analysis
• company and industry sector research
• creation of client presentations and marketing materials

As part of the ten‑week internship, you will attend one week of technical training before joining your team and will also receive follow‑up technical and presentation skills training during the programme.

During the final week of the internship, you will be asked to give a ten‑minute presentation to a panel of senior bankers.

A Lazard Summer Internship can lead to a full‑time offer for the following year’s Analyst programme.

Whatever subject you’re reading, all you need right now is a passion and flair for thinking differently and deeply about the challenge in front of you. Whether you realise it or not, you’ve already got the skills we’re looking for.

Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must be in the penultimate year of their first undergraduate degree (which may include an integrated master’s programme), with an expected graduation year of 2028.
