Please note that the final round interview for this position will be in a superday format. You will also be required to report in-person for this position at our New York office. Flow Traders will assist with housing and accommodations. 


Our internship program has limited space; once all positions are filled, the recruitment process will close. We highly suggest that you start your application process as soon as possible as the entire recruitment process can take between 5-10 weeks.

At Flow Traders, we acknowledge the importance of open and transparent communication whether it be with our employees, our stakeholders, or our local and global communities.
