2026 Investment Banking Summer Associate Program - New York

2026 Investment Banking Summer Associate Program

Summer Associate Program Overview

Nomura Investment Banking is seeking intellectually curious and driven students to join as Summer Associates. The Summer Associate Program runs for ten weeks, with a one-week intensive training course, followed by a nine-week placement within a sector coverage or product group. The program offers Summer Associates an opportunity to work alongside our investment bankers on a variety of live transactions as well as client-facing business development initiatives.

Our program begins in early June and provides Summer Associates with the same amount of exposure as a first-year Associate, with hands-on opportunities to participate as full members of the team and extensive contact with Investment Banking professionals at all levels. Throughout the program, Summer Associates will participate in business-led discussion groups, networking events, and speaker sessions. All Associates will also be paired with both a junior and senior mentor to provide guidance and support throughout the internship.

This program is an integral component of our full-time recruiting and at the end of the summer we will extend offers to top performers to return after graduation.

*The 2026 Investment Banking Summer Associate Program is recruiting exclusively for our Greentech team, focused on M&A and strategic advisory in sustainable technology and infrastructure*
