Job description

Are you looking for an exciting, paid, real-world and uncommon internship experience? We’ve got it! This isn’t your "run of the mill" internship program, doing odd jobs and making copies. Parkside Financial Bank and Trust’s internship program is built around providing students with hands‑on experience in different departments within the company. Our interns will walk away with knowledge and practical applications that will aid them not only in their studies but as they build their career path upon degree completion.

Parkside Financial Bank & Trust started in 2007 with four professionals and one big goal: to make business banking and wealth management more personal, more insightful, and more responsive. Today, we’re an independent partner for successful families and privately held businesses, bringing together banking, commercial lending, trust, and family office services in one place.

From St. Louis to Denver to Bedford, we’ve grown with our clients to $1 billion in Bank assets and approximately $3.9 billion in Trust & Family Office assets under management. We’ve also been recognized as a Top Workplace in St. Louis for six consecutive years thanks to a team that’s Smart, Likeable, Entrepreneurial, and Dependable. If you like doing great work with great people, you’ll fit right in!

Parkside’s IT Internship is a 10-week program, approximately 28 hours per week, Monday through Thursday. This internship will work in the Parkside Information Technology Department, while also providing exposure to other departments and leadership throughout the organization. Over the course of the program, interns will have the opportunity to build industry & IT knowledge, develop business acumen, and strengthen their collaboration and time management skills through hands‑on experience. At the end of the summer, participants will be able to add to our Parkside Intern Blog and complete a final capstone project.
