If you are ambitious and looking to apply what you've learned to real-world financial experience, then this is the role for you. In ever-changing global markets you'll spend your time exploring the sophisticated financial solutions we deliver across asset classes. The skills you develop and the professional network you build will serve as a solid foundation for your career.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Our global Markets teams are active in all major financial markets and develop sophisticated financial solutions to help clients manage risk, increase returns and solve complex financial problems. Globally, we hold leadership positions across all major financial markets. This approach means you'll be part of a dynamic team, helping to solve a range of challenging and interesting business issues and will be challenged in your work.

J.P. Morgan prides itself on its sales force, which provides a first-class service to clients. They build relationships with clients and package tailor-made solutions that meet the needs of a wide array of clients. To make this excellence possible, salespeople have a wide knowledge of multiple products, and proactively engage with clients and suggest trade ideas. A salesperson typically has excellent communication skills, an analytical mind, is a capable multi-tasker and team-orientated.

Throughout the internship, whether a summer internship or off-cycle internship, you'll support senior colleagues with important research, analysis and preparatory work. You will monitor markets, develop trade ideas, conduct portfolio reviews, and learn about the solutions and products we offer for clients to manage any market conditions. Your work and contributions will be valuable to the team from the start.

Expert instructors and J.P. Morgan professionals will teach you about our history, the scale and scope of our organisation today and our ambitious plans for tomorrow. We'll teach you technical and practical skills that will help you hit the ground running.

The program is an opportunity to take your career to the next level through hands-on experience, relevant skills training and valuable professional networking. Based on your individual achievements, those who successfully complete the program may receive offers of full-time employment.

ABOUT YOU

A strong interest in global financial markets is essential, as are analytical and quantitative skills, flexibility, teamwork, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to handle pressure and enjoy a collaborative environment. A well-rounded academic background is important — you certainly don't need a degree in Economics or Finance, but a good level of numeracy is required.
Additional requirements include:

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Confidence and initiative to take on responsibility and manage your own projects.
  • Expected graduation date of May 2021 – December 2021
  • You must be an Australian citizen or already have been granted Permanent Residency at the time of application

But beyond that, what we're most interested in are the things that make you, you: the personal qualities, outside interests and achievements beyond academia that demonstrate the kind of person you are and the difference you could bring to the team.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

  • Applications will close on 25 July, 2020.

Pros and cons of working at J.P. Morgan Australia

Pros

  • Global exposure, intense and competitive

  • Good people, lots of resources

  • A very good company culture, everyone is welcoming and hardworking. The company puts in a lot of effort to ensure employees are treated well.

  • Working with motivated and intelligent individuals in a well-established company.

  • The opportunities - being able to work for a best-in-class global investment bank means that even as a graduate the resources you have at your disposal are unbelievable. You get to work with some of the best and brightest people. You get to go to New York City for training and see first-hand the beating heart of global commerce. The responsibility you are given even at the most junior level is astounding and ultimately, the opportunities are unparalleled.

Cons

    • Decent amount of pressure

    • Working for such a large company it can sometimes feel like you are a small fish in a big pond, however, I think the firm is good at acknowledging this and actively encourages their junior staff to design their own initiatives or engage in a leadership role in extracurricular programs that are endorsed by the firm.

    • Culture could be better

    • The work-life balance, as is to be expected is demanding. But it's investment banking - you know what you're signing up for.
