How the program works and what you can expect

Off-Cycle Analysts within Jefferies' Investment Banking division have the unique opportunity to gain valuable experience across an array of investment banking products and industries and to develop lasting personal and professional relationships with peers and senior bankers that will serve as the foundation for a successful career.

Jefferies' lean deal team structure provides our Off-Cycle Analyst cohort with a platform to play an important role, working closely with senior bankers on pitches and live deals. In addition to performing fundamental analysis and research into companies and markets, Interns are encouraged to think creatively, offer their input, and add value to the team from day one. As with everyone at Jefferies, Off-Cycle Analysts are expected to pursue their projects with excellence, a collaborative spirit, and with the highest levels of integrity.

Students in their penultimate or final year of university are eligible to apply for the internship.

Off-Cycle Analyst responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Performing financial valuation, discounted cash flow and multiples-based analyses
• Building and maintaining financial models
• Preparing pitchbooks and live deal materials, such as offering memorandums and prospectuses
• Conducting industry and product research
• Analyzing detailed corporate and financial information
• Participating in the execution of financings and M&A transactions

What we look for in a candidate

Our Off-Cycle Analyst cohort should be able to multitask and manage a variety of projects simultaneously. They will have an opportunity to work on projects in Southeast Asia as well as greater China. Candidates must demonstrate professionalism and client management skills together with strong technical, written, and verbal communication skills.

The work is fast paced, challenging and intellectually stimulating. The ability to work under pressure and tight deadlines, be adaptable and work both independently and as part of a team are essential traits of a successful candidate.

You should have a strong academic background on track in obtaining a minimum of a 3.5 GPA or equivalent and be in your penultimate year (completing the second year of a three-year degree, or third year of a four-year Bachelor's degree or equivalent program). Although a background in accounting or finance is helpful, we hire Interns who have studied a variety of disciplines.
