  • Responsibilities

    At Northern Trust, we place a huge value on “fit” – our clients, the services we provide, the technology we create, and most importantly, the people we hire.

    As an intern applicant, we want to get to know you - what you value, how you solve problems, what you aspire to, and whether we’re a good “fit” for your skills and career goals. And if it’s a fit, then the opportunities extend beyond the internship – summer interns have first access to explore and apply to full-time positions available after graduation.

    Why Northern Trust?

    Opportunity for Growth - Our employees have grown with our business, expanding their skills, their roles, and their earning potential. As an intern, get hands on experience working in a dynamic and growth-oriented business environment.

    Unique Culture - People matter at Northern Trust – leaders are accessible and vested in mentoring employees – including our interns. At Northern Trust, you’ll be part of a collaborative work culture that encourages personal development and movement within the company.

    Do work that matters - Northern Trust is committed to contributing to the communities we serve. In addition to opportunities for volunteering and community service for employees, our clients include research institutions, museums, foundations, universities, and philanthropists who collectively invest tens of billions in fostering positive change around the world.

    We’d love to learn more about how your experience and areas of interest could be the right fit with a diverse, ethical company that is also one of the world’s most admired:

    “Ranked #1, America’s Best Employers for Diversity” (Forbes Magazine, 2018) “A World's Most Ethical Company” (Ethisphere Institute, 2017 – 4th Consecutive Year) “World’s Most Admired Companies” (Fortune Magazine, 2019 – 13th Consecutive Year)

    The Northern Trust Intern Program With a 130-year history, trillions of dollars in assets and a worldwide reputation for service, expertise and integrity, a Northern Trust internship is a unique opportunity to learn and develop critical skills for your career. While adding one of the world’s most stable and respected institutions to your resume, you will be engaged in various activities:

    A. Contribute - Be a contributing member of a team working on real world projects for our clients. Our interns are active and valued members of the teams they are placed on.

    B. Intern Programming - Professional development throughout the intern experience includes weekly lunch & learns, a group research and presentation project, volunteer opportunities, and every intern is paired up with a mentor.

    C. Learning & Networking - We encourage our interns to learn as much as they can about different opportunities within financial services. Part of your “work” includes meeting with full time employees for informational coffees and meetings – all of which help you develop skills and get a better perspective on where you want to take your career.

    Intern Placement Opportunities – Members of the Campus Recruiting team will determine fit/placements based on opportunities available and candidates’ experience and career goals.

    Day-to-day work assignments could be in:

    Asset Management - serves affluent individuals and families as well as institutional clients in more than 40 countries around the world through investment solutions that include fixed income, quantitative and active equity products and a multi-manager advisory platform.
