A Career with Point72’s Market Intelligence Team

On our proprietary research team—Market Intelligence—you’ll support Canvas team members as they work with our investment professionals and Compliance team to uncover insights about companies, industries, and the broader economy through deep fundamental research and applying data science and engineering techniques to alternative data sets. You’ll work alongside a talented team with diverse skills, backgrounds, and perspectives.

Canvas is the supply chain research group within Market Intelligence.

Our team produces impactful research that will change the way you look at the world. About the Fundamental Researcher Internship

When you join the Canvas team, you’re signing up for the learning experience of a lifetime. You will never look at anything the same way—from grocery stores to tires to semiconductors. Every day, Canvas team members speak with some of the most successful private company executives and learn about the businesses they’ve spent their lives building. The team synthesizes findings in comprehensive reports that are consumed by our investment professionals. Other Market Intelligence divisions conduct quantitative research to explain what is going on in an industry. As a Canvas Fundamental Researcher, our qualitative research helps explain why it is happening.

During the 10-week program based in our New York office, you will gain exposure to:

  • How Canvas develops subject matter expertise across a range of industries
  • Gathering insights from small, medium, and large private company executives into their businesses and the industries in which they operate, including real-time changes in supply/demand dynamics, emerging competitors, markets, and technologies
  • Synthesizing research findings in comprehensive daily summaries and reports
  • Business leaders across industries, collaborating with Canvas colleagues, and how Canvas research supports more informed investment decision making
  • Summer Internship Program at Point72

    In addition to the learning and development you’ll receive in your day-to-day role with your team, as a part of our summer internship program you will:

  • Work alongside your fellow interns and be mentored by experienced professionals
  • Meet your peers through designated intern programming, volunteer opportunities, and social events
  • Attend sessions with senior leaders discussing their expertise and career paths
  • Get hands on access to the wealth of tools and resources that Point72 employees use every day
  • Gain exposure to groups and functions with unique responsibilities and perspectives on our industry
  • Develop technical, writing, and presentation skills
  • Participate in networking opportunities across the firm, with groups such as Trading, Finance, Trade Support, Compliance, and Technology
  • What’s Required
