Job description

Overview

The Operations Analyst Program is a rotational development program that offers a broad and in-depth exposure to business operations at Susquehanna and will prepare you for a Tax Analyst position that immediately impacts our business.

In the first six months, you’ll rotate through Susquehanna’s operations team, gaining hands-on experience across trading desks and key business areas. These rotations are designed to deepen your understanding of the firm’s structure and operations, especially as they relate to tax. You’ll take on daily responsibilities and project work that build familiarity with information flow and tax processes. Classroom training will complement your experience, focusing on company knowledge, technical skills, and business effectiveness.

Throughout the program, you’ll build a strong network across the firm and receive mentorship from senior tax and operations professionals to support your development.

After completing the program, you’ll join the tax team. In this role, you’ll work on projects that help optimize after-tax profits from trading activities. You’ll collaborate with departments like trading, operations, and technology, and work with both internal and third-party systems to ensure accurate documentation and reporting. These projects will also give you insight into current tax regulations and their impact on the business.

By the end of your rotations, you’ll be equipped with the skills and knowledge to make a meaningful impact on Susquehanna’s tax team.
