Susquehanna participates in millions of trades on exchanges around the world every day. Our operations team manages the infrastructure that allows these trades to move forward with speed and accuracy. How do we aggregate and analyze trading data to help make better future decisions? How do we ensure that we correct any trade breaks that would expose the firm to financial risk? How do we constantly improve the efficiency with which we complete the lifecycle of a trade? This is where our Operations team comes in.

As an Operations intern, you will be working closely with the trading desks and other teams that support our trading businesses. Throughout the ten-week internship, you will work on a variety of analytical projects that impact multiple areas of the business and introduce you to current challenges facing our industry. Past projects include trading and profit + loss analytics, automation of operational processes, and research of new business opportunities.

We will begin the recruiting process for this position by September.
