Summer Undergrad Intern - InvesTech Boston

Tracing our history to 1928, Wellington Management is one of the world’s largest independent investment management firms. With over USD 1.1 trillion in client assets under management as of 30 June 2020, we serve as a trusted adviser to clients in over 60 countries. Our innovative investment solutions are built on the strength of proprietary, independent research and span nearly all segments of the global capital markets, including equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative strategies. As a private partnership whose sole business is investment management, our long-term views and interests are aligned with those of our clients. We are committed to attracting a talented and diverse workforce, and to fostering an open, collaborative culture of inclusivity because we believe multiple perspectives lead to more informed investment and business decisions. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we welcome people with diverse life experiences, fresh ideas, and specialized subject-matter expertise.

We are seeking enthusiastic self-starters to be part of the Undergraduate Summer Internship Program in our Boston office. The program is paid, full-time (40 hours/week) that spans between 10-12 weeks during the summer with a start date of June 2021.

The interns will work within our new, global Investment Services and Technology (InvesTech) division. Interns will develop the foundation to become successful in a career in financial operations and technology. Interns will be exposed to technologies and processes used and applied in the financial services sector – specifically in asset management. Opportunities exist for those interested in analysis, data, software engineering, operations, and business.

There are four primary components to the InvesTech summer internship experience: (1) group intern project, (2) getting to know our firm, (3) immersion into the world of InvesTech and (4) mentorship and feedback:

InvesTech interns will work as a cohort on a group project throughout the summer. This project will be based on a real problem that needs to be solved. The end goal of the project is to create a real, broadly used application and/or process improvement that will be utilized throughout the firm. During the project, interns will gain hands-on experience and each intern will have the opportunity to lead part of the project. At the end of the summer, the interns will deliver the final solution to a group of senior leaders. Projects will change every year based on new problems and new technologies.            

Summer interns are paired one-on-one with a mentor who is dedicated to their learning and growth. Interns will also have the opportunity to interact and collaborate with other seasoned professionals on a daily basis. Interns will receive consistent formal and informal coaching and feedback from their peers, mentors and managers. Wellington is a supportive and highly collaborative environment where everyone is invested in each other’s and the team’s success.

We seek all talented, dedicated undergraduate students with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. The program is inclusive to all undergraduate students, but focuses on targeting underrepresented groups in the investment management industry, including but not limited to, women and people of color.
