About The Position

Northland Capital Markets is expanding its investment banking team. The Investment Banking Analyst Internship is the first step in Northland’s investment banking career path and precedes the full-time Analyst position. Interns work on live deal teams under the guidance of Analysts and Associates and alongside senior bankers, supporting public equity offerings, private placements, PIPEs, convertible securities transactions, and M&A advisory engagements. The work is demanding and requires performing under pressure, meeting tight deadlines, and producing accurate work on short notice. Interns are expected to contribute meaningfully from the start, and exceptional performance is the primary pathway to a full-time Analyst offer. The role is anticipated to be onsite at the posted location. Northland’s collaborative onsite environment is designed to support innovation, mentorship, professional growth, and relationships. Work location may change based on business needs.
