Job description

Are you a college student looking to turn your classroom knowledge into real-world experience? At Perigon, our paid Summer Internship Program gives you a front-row seat to human resources, compliance, and the wealth management industry. You won’t be sitting on the sidelines—you’ll work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, and gain a firsthand look at how an independent wealth management firm supports its employees, maintains regulatory compliance, and delivers exceptional outcomes for its clients.

At Perigon, we believe the best way to learn is by getting involved. Our internship is built around hands-on experiences, cross-functional exposure, mentorship, and opportunities to engage with professionals across the firm. You’ll build practical skills in HR operations, employee engagement, compliance practices, and regulatory procedures while gaining a deeper understanding of how human resources and compliance support a successful RIA. By the end of the summer, you’ll have expanded your professional network, strengthened your skill set, and gained a clearer picture of where your career could take you.
