Operations Analyst Program: August 2027 Start

Overview

Every day, Susquehanna participates in millions of trades on exchanges around the world. Our operations team manages the infrastructure that allows these trades to move forward with speed and accuracy. How do we aggregate and analyze trading data to help make better future decisions? How do we ensure that we correct any trade breaks that would expose the firm to financial risk? How do we constantly improve the efficiency with which we complete the lifecycle of a trade? This is where our Operations Analysts come in.

 

The six month Operations Analyst development program will prepare you for a full-time Operations Analyst position at Susquehanna. Throughout the program, you will rotate across various trading desk and business areas at Susquehanna to deepen your understanding of the firm. At the end of your rotations, you will be expected to leverage your diverse skill set and knowledge of Susquehanna's business to maximize your impact as an Operations Analyst. You will be placed on a team that best aligns with your skills, interests, and Susquehanna's business needs.
