Our global Markets teams are active in all major financial markets, developing sophisticated financial solutions to help clients manage risk, increase returns, and solve complex financial problems, and we hold leadership positions across these markets worldwide. This means you’ll be part of a dynamic team, working on a range of challenging and interesting business issues and continuously challenged in your role.

Trading at J.P. Morgan provides unique insight into global markets, as we offer liquidity to clients in all major asset classes and pride ourselves on fast execution, market share, and advanced e-trading platforms; a trader’s role involves responding to and encouraging client enquiries, managing the resulting risk, and reacting to market-moving events, which makes trading detail-focused, intellectually stimulating, and dependent on logical, quick decision-making.

As a Summer Analyst in the Trading team, you will have the opportunity to contribute valuable work from the start. You will learn from expert instructors and J.P. Morgan professionals about our history, the scale and scope of our organization today, and our ambitious plans for tomorrow. We will teach you technical and practical skills to help you hit the ground running.
