Overview & Responsibilities
Our ten-week summer Internship Programme seeks to hire ambitious, enthusiastic candidates who have a strong background in engineering, science, computer science, or other quantitative fields, with a demonstrated passion for investing and an interest in working on all facets of Venture Capital and deep-tech startups.
Our Internship Programme starts with a one-week in-depth training programme to prepare interns for the desk. This covers key topics in financial markets and programming. The Venture Capital interns will participate in this programme as well as receive on-the-job training in Venture Capital.
Additionally, interns will benefit from key talks, a mentor programme, social events, and interactions with some of the most respected and talented individuals in their field.
During the programme, working in a fast-paced environment, interns will contribute to the Venture Capital team on various projects that can include researching cutting-edge technologies (e.g., fusion, quantum computing, AI, and space), due diligence on startups, mapping industry segments, financial analysis on deals, and identifying investment prospects.
This internship is designed to provide candidates with hands-on exposure to a top-tier venture capital group within a macro hedge fund and is structured as a two-way process to assess mutual fit between Brevan Howard and the intern.
The goal of our summer internship programme is to convert top-performing interns to our 2027 Graduate Programme.
