What you’ll do

Join us to learn the fundamental research and analysis skills needed to be an analyst at Point72 as you apply your intellectual curiosity in a role that prizes creativity, autonomy, and analytical rigor. The program begins with eight months of formal training followed by two months of rotations with investment teams or similar roles on our platform. Best of all, upon successful program graduation, you may have the chance to join an investing team as a full-time analyst.

• Develop sophisticated company analysis and modeling skills from our Academy faculty, investment professionals, and professors from some of the world’s leading universities.
• Learn statistics, accounting, financial modeling, data analysis, coding, and more.
• Apply the skills you’ve developed to real-life situations as you rotate with up to three investing teams.
• Gain firsthand experience and valuable mentorship from our investment professionals during your rotations.

Upon Successful Graduation: The Analyst Role

You may have the opportunity to become an equity research analyst at Point72, where you can apply your financial acumen and curiosity to help shape your team’s investment strategies by:

• Developing sophisticated financial models to understand the businesses you cover and their changes.
• Performing company channel checks; attending industry events; building relationships with industry contacts, sell-side analysts, and research associates; analyzing data sets; and conducting other research.
• Constantly developing your skills through coaching from your Portfolio Manager and by utilizing the full breadth of the Professional Development resources available.
• Conducting yourself with the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, ethics, and excellence.

Who we’re looking for:

• We welcome students from all academic disciplines. Your field of study or major is not a determining factor; we seek individuals who can effectively manage teamwork, exhibit integrity, possess intellectual curiosity, demonstrate leadership potential, and have a keen interest in financial markets.
• Students should have a high enthusiasm for the financial services industry. Interest in analyzing companies and stocks is recommended given the project-based nature of this program.
• Candidates with excellent communication skills (verbal and written) and high levels of self-motivation.

We want you to apply if you are:

• A current student who will graduate from university between December 2024 and July 2025.
• Fascinated by research and problem-solving, relentlessly curious, and constantly expanding your horizons.
• Committed to continued success in your academic and professional career with the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, and excellence.
• Committed to the highest ethical standards.
• Highly self-driven and motivated to explore a career in finance.

What to expect:

• Your online application, essays, and resume will serve as an introduction to who you are as a candidate. Once you complete the online application, we will begin reviewing your profile.
• Selected candidates will then receive an email invitation to participate in a case study, allowing you to showcase your experiences and demonstrate your business acumen.
• Following submission and review of your case study, the next step would be virtual one-on-one interviews with various members of the Academy team, if selected.

There is no set application deadline for this position. We strongly encourage you to apply and fulfill all requirements as soon as you feel ready to begin the hiring process.
