Operations – Investment Operations – 2027 Summer Internship Program

Operations – Investment Operations – 2027 Summer Internship Program Overview

This summer internship programme is an eight-week experience running from June through August across the EMEA region. It is built to give students a demanding, meaningful, and supportive placement that is intended to reflect, as closely as possible, what it is like to work as a full-time BlackRock analyst. The programme is designed for early-career candidates who want practical exposure, structured learning, and the chance to contribute to real team work over the course of the summer.

The internship begins with an orientation that introduces participants to the firm and includes the chance to hear from several senior leaders. After that, interns move into their teams and receive hands-on training along with day-to-day responsibilities so they can make a genuine contribution throughout the programme. In addition to the core work experience, the internship includes a speaker series, mentoring, and a range of networking opportunities, including activities connected to employee networks.

What the internship involves

• Joining an eight-week summer programme that takes place from June to August.
• Experiencing a placement that is meant to resemble the role and pace of a full-time analyst as closely as possible.
• Starting with an orientation that provides an overview of the firm and access to insights from senior leaders.
• Receiving on-the-job training and taking on everyday responsibilities within the team.
• Contributing to the team’s work during the summer rather than observing from the sidelines.
• Taking part in additional programme elements such as speaker sessions, mentoring, and networking events.

• Considering the Full-Time Analyst Programme later on if the internship proves to be a strong fit.
