Susquehanna is looking for penultimate year students who are passionate about the financial markets and event driven research to join our 2025 Equity Analyst Internship Program.
Susquehanna is a global quantitative trading firm founded by a group of friends who shared a passion for game theory and probabilistic thinking. When breaking news changes the game, what trade do you recommend in the next 10 seconds? We rely on our Equity Research analysts to be on the front lines of market information to translate it into trading ideas.
Working from our Sydney office, you will partner with our senior equity analysts and traders to assist in identifying trading opportunities in the options and equity markets. You will learn to perform in-depth company analysis around future catalyst events and provide real-time opinions on breaking news throughout the trading day. You will also gain experience in the financial markets by tracking company news and events, assisting with valuation work, and completing other event-driven projects. The internship program serves as our primary source for hiring full-time Equity Analysts.
