Your Opportunity as a Summer Intern in Operations

An overview of this program’s objectives and how you can benefit

How the program works and the day-to-day experience you can expect

The Operations Internship Program is a 3-month full time internship designed to serve as a pipeline into our full-time Analyst Program. We look for participants in the program to work side by side with full-time employees, providing support for a wide range of Operations' day-to-day work as well as projects.

The internship will provide interns with a thorough overview of our industry, and the challenges and opportunities one can expect from a Morgan Stanley career. Interns will get the opportunity to work closely with colleagues to process complex transactions, solve operational problems, respond to business issues and client needs, assist in risk management, conduct revenue analysis and participate in firm reengineering projects.

The program includes an orientation to the Firm, senior management speaker seminars, professional development training, and social and networking events to build your professional network. Interns are also assigned peer advisors and senior sponsors to aid their smooth transition into the organization. The Program will commence in June 2009 and you will be required to work fulltime from June to August. Provided good performance, internships may be extended for the school semester on a part time basis (approximately 16 hours per week).

Placements are communicated to interns before their start date and are based upon business needs and feedback throughout the interview process.

Provided exceptional performance during internship, candidates may be considered for the Full Time Analyst Program.
