Early Careers – U.K.

Investing in the foundations of your career.

What is Spring Week?

This three-day programme has been designed to give students invaluable networking experiences, combined with interactive workshops and case studies. The aim is to provide students a full immersive experience of a potential future with a leading global investment bank. Use this unique opportunity to hear more about career prospects from senior leaders and rising junior professionals at the firm. You will be exposed to all of our sectors, building you a purposeful network for your career path.

For those that are successful on the Spring Week programme, you may receive an offer to be fast-tracked for a 2026 summer internship. Applicants should be either in the first year of a three-year degree or the second year of a four-year degree, graduating in 2027. We encourage applications from students that have a keen interest in finance or business with a strong analytical mind.

The Application & Selection Process

Our 128+ year legacy has perpetuated because of the partnerships we forge – among our clients, our employees and the communities where we live and work.

What is our Summer Analyst Programme?

For nine-ten weeks, you will be treated as a core team member from day one, partnering on various projects, including complex transactions. After being assigned to one of our industries, you will embrace the Piper Sandler culture, creating meaningful relationships with your junior and senior bankers.

Our programme is designed to give you an exciting opportunity of the collaborative, demanding, fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment in investment banking.

In starting your journey with Piper Sandler, we support you with one-week inclusive training, supplying you with the necessary tools to succeed.

• Assist in the preparation of client materials
• Gather and synthesise quantitative and qualitative data
