Job description

Overview

Susquehanna Financial Group, LLLP (SFG) delivers grass roots independent research coverage on a universe of roughly 253 stocks across five different industry verticals and 19 sub-sectors. We combine that with an understanding of the listed options and ETF markets to provide a more comprehensive view of the markets. We service the US institutional account base comprised of mutual funds, hedge funds and pension/endowment funds, by impacting their investment process and helping them perform in the marketplace.

As an Associate in SFG’s Sell Side Research Development Program, you will have up to four six-month rotations with Senior Research Analysts. During your rotations, you will be embedded in an analyst team under various sectors of coverage which may include Financials, Consumer/Internet, Energy/Industrials and Technology. The rotations are designed to provide insight into each sector and expose you to different methodologies used to fundamentally analyze publicly listed companies. You will also be contributing directly to products delivered into the marketplace.

SFG is the institutional broker-dealer member of Susquehanna International Group. When you join SFG, you are joining a small and close nit team with all the perks of being part of a larger organization. In addition to your rotations, you will participate in Susquehanna’s education program, which will expose you to financial writing, options and the decision-making strategies that our traders employ. Throughout the program, you will gain expertise in financial analysis and accounting concepts that will enhance your ability to build sector and company models that are the core of our business. You will have the opportunity to interact with corporate management teams and be introduced to industry contacts to strengthen your understanding of the sector and its drivers. Associates will also earn the Series 7, 86, & 87 licenses and be encouraged to begin the CFA program.

Specific Responsibilities

• Assist in the preparation of research reports and provide in-depth analysis of companies from public and non-public sources arriving at an investible conclusion
• Assist coverage team in creating financial models, studying academic opinions, and seeking other objective sources of information to either confirm or deny the team’s existing investment thesis
• Assist team in preparing differentiated research reports and provide timely updates for the firm’s sales force and institutional client base
• Dial-in to company-hosted conference calls to listen for trends and important news

What we’re looking for

• Students in the last year of their bachelors or master’s degree looking to start a full-time job upon graduation
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, specifically Excel
• Strong communication skills and the ability to interact effectively with all levels of the organization
• Attention to detail and the ability to handle multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
• Interest in financial markets and specifically sell side research
• Visa sponsorship for work authorization is not available for this position now or in the future

What’s In It For You

• Our non-hierarchical culture allows employees of every level to thrive and make impact. We are not your typical trading firm - the environment is casual, collaborative and we focus on continuous development.
• Relaxed dress code (jeans and sneakers are the norm and team jerseys every Friday)
• Food, beverages, and snacks available all day
• Discounts for dining, entertainment, shopping, travel, and attractions
• Social events such as a poker tournament, holiday party, company outings, and more
• Opportunities to give back to the community through Susquehanna sponsored events and donation drives

The annual base pay range for this role is $100,000 discretionary bonus benefits. Susquehanna considers factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, work experience, education/training, key skills, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.
