2026 Summer Intern Program - Corporate Citizenship
SMBC hosts a 10-week Summer Intern Program for undergraduate students who will have the opportunity to work on teams, be exposed to significant firm-wide projects within their respective business areas and support a range of deals with our clients.
Participants in our Summer Intern Program will work on a variety of projects including building financial models, developing client presentations, conducting research, and participating in client meetings – all to improve their understanding of the global banking industry.
Our Summer Intern Program is a pipeline to our full-time Analyst Program.
Corporate Citizenship
Through Corporate Citizenship (also known as Corporate Philanthropy or Corporate Social Responsibility) – a part of Sustainability – we fulfill SMBC’s voluntary commitment to society while doing so in a way that contributes to the company’s long-term success. The establishment of Corporate Citizenship reflects the firm’s growing presence in the Americas region and the increased expectations that come along with it, while also contributing to SMBC Group’s focus on creating social value.
With the SMBC Global Foundation as the center of our social contribution strategy, we lead the philanthropic and corporate citizenship strategy for the Americas Division. We grow company programs, support employee volunteering opportunities, and develop community partnerships while leveraging company expertise to provide valuable social impact in our communities and with the next generation. As a result of our efforts, we elevate and sustain SMBC’s reputation and ultimately, differentiate ourselves as the bank, employer, and provider of choice to our stakeholders—clients, employees, recruits, and the communities we serve.
The Summer Intern will gain a broad knowledge of corporate philanthropy and foundation operations by assisting with employee engagement (volunteering, giving campaigns, stakeholder management), grants and nonprofit management (due diligence, grant agreements), branding and communications, data and reporting administration, among other responsibilities.
