About The Position

At Realty Income, The Monthly Dividend Company®, our internship program offers more than just work experience—it’s an opportunity to discover purpose, build meaningful connections, and unlock your professional potential. Purpose. As an intern, you’ll contribute to the mission that drives everything we do: delivering dependable value to our shareholders, colleagues, and communities. You’ll work on impactful projects that align with our business strategy and support our purpose of doing the right thing, taking ownership, empowering each other, and giving more than we take. Connection. Throughout the summer, you’ll collaborate with professionals across departments, gaining mentorship and insights from leaders who are passionate about your growth. You’ll join a community built on trust, inclusion, and teamwork—because we believe success is achieved together. Opportunity. This 10-week program is designed to accelerate your learning and career exploration. You’ll gain hands-on experience in a publicly-traded, global real estate investment trust while developing the skills, confidence, and relationships that can shape your future. Join us from June 17 to August 24, 2026, and experience what it means to build a meaningful career rooted in purpose, strengthened by connection, and driven by opportunity. Realty Income owns and manages one of the world's largest portfolios of commercial real estate, and we've paid an increasing monthly dividend every month since 1969. We're an S&P 500 company (NYSE: O) operating across the U.S. and Europe and the work of running a portfolio at that scale spans real estate, finance, accounting, data, and technology. This is your chance to see how it actually fits together. As a 2027 Summer Intern at Realty Income, you'll spend 10 weeks at our San Diego headquarters working on real-time challenges alongside experienced professionals and business leaders. You'll own a defined project, deliver something tangible, and present to senior stakeholders at the end of the summer. Beyond the hands-on experience, you'll get structured training, mentorship, and access to leaders across the company. Strong performers may be considered for a part-time co-op opportunity during the fall, and/or a full-time offer after graduation. This program is intended to be a pipeline into our early career roles. You will work with a cohort of ~18 interns placed across teams including Accounting, Asset Management, Corporate Leasing, Data Analytics, Data Engineering, Development, Finance Operations, Fund Accounting, Internal Audit, Investment Management, IT, Operational Excellence, and Machine Learning. Throughout the summer you’ll have the learning opportunities throughout the entire business to strengthen your skills.
