Susquehanna Financial Group, LLLP (SFG) integrates expertise in trading, research, and sales to provide value to our client base of mutual funds, hedge funds, and pension/endowment funds.

As an intern in SFG’s Derivatives Sales Program, you will learn how to engage with our clients, execute order flow, and deliver market-based insights through hands on collaboration with our derivatives strategy, market intelligence, and equity research teams. During the ten-week internship you will be introduced to the financial markets through practical experience on the trading desk and formal classroom education.

What we’re looking for

• Intention to graduate with a bachelor’s or master’s degree within one year of the internship program

• 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.
• Housing provided for duration of internship
• Relaxed dress code: jeans and sneakers are the norm, shorts all summer long
• Fully stocked kitchens for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages
• Discounts for dining, entertainment, shopping, travel, and attractions
• Social events including a poker tournament, dinners, and sporting events
