Data and Business Analyst Intern

The Role  

We are looking for a highly motivated Data & Business Analyst Intern to join Schonfeld’s Fundamental Equity COO(FE-COO) team. You will partner closely with the FE-COO Team to strengthen our reporting and analytics infrastructure, automate key workflows, and help deliver intuitive dashboards for our Long/Short Fundamental Equity (L/S FE) investment teams. 

This internship blends technology and markets: you will code in Python & SQL, work with tools such as Power BI, Streamlit, and Prefect, and gain exposure to trading, risk, and portfolio analytics for global Long/Short equity strategies. 

What You’ll Do  

• Build and extend the Python-based FE-COO analytics library (data models, helpers, analytical toolkit, unit tests). 

• Design & implement Power BI or Streamlit dashboards that visualize P&L drivers, risk metrics, and operational KPIs. 

• Automate recurring reports and data pipelines (trade alerts, factor exposures, liquidity metrics) using Prefect (or similar orchestration frameworks) and CI/CD best practices. 

• Collaborate with Risk, Technology, Operations, and Data Engineering teams to source, cleanse, validate and build analytical tools used by FE Portfolio Managers. 

• Support PM and Analyst onboarding, new-strategy launches, and ad-hoc analyses (e.g., “How did the team perform through the Earnings window?”). 

• Document processes and proactively surface ideas to improve efficiency, data quality, and transparency across the FE platform. 

 
What You’ll Bring 

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Finance, or a related quantitative field (with ≤ 1 year left in your program). 

• Proficient in Python (Pandas, FastAPI/Flask, OOP) and SQL (query optimization, data modelling). Able to deliver rapid ad-hoc analyses and scale them into production-ready tools within the broader tech stack. 

• Hands-on experience - or strong interest - in Power BI and/or Streamlit dashboard development. 

• Knowledge of workflow orchestration tools (Prefect, Airflow, Dagster) a plus. 

• Genuine curiosity about Long/Short Fundamental Equities, financial markets, and risk management; familiarity with the publicly traded earnings announcement life-cycle is advantageous. 

• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. 

• Comfort working autonomously in a fast-paced, global, highly collaborative environment.
