What you’ll do day-to-day

You’ll help evaluate complex business questions that drive the firm’s long-term direction and growth opportunities. You’ll work to solve these problems by performing research and conducting rigorous analysis using both quantitative and qualitative methods. You might assess which markets our trading strategies should expand into, examine how and why certain investment trends emerge in Asia, or research where to open a new office. Your recommendations will impact the way we run our business, with mentorship and skill-building resources along the way.

Who we’re looking for
• Candidates should be currently enrolled in a full-time MBA or similar graduate program and have a proven record of academic and professional achievement.
• We seek individuals who excel at managing multiple projects, are effective communicators, and take a highly analytical approach to solving problems. Critical thinkers who can quickly identify areas of focus for the firm and successfully drive work forward will thrive in this role.
• Applicants who take initiative, work well as part of a team, and demonstrate a client-focused approach with both external and internal stakeholders are highly sought after.
• At least two to four years of professional experience in consulting, corporate strategy, strategy and operations, or another position within financial services/business is preferred. We also encourage candidates with backgrounds in other industries to apply, including public policy, academia, or engineering.
• Fluency in English is required; proficiency in Mandarin or other local languages is a plus.

At the D. E. Shaw group, we believe the diversity of our employees is core to our strength and success. We are committed to supporting our people in work and in life, which is why we offer benefits such as a family planning and surrogacy program and a charitable gift match to all full-time employees.

Additionally, our staff-led affinity groups are pillars of our community, helping to celebrate diversity, promote leadership and development opportunities, and facilitate inclusive mentorship. Members and allies organize a wide range of educational and social programming, from expert talks to film festivals.
