About Us 

MarketAxess is on a journey to digitally transform one of the world’s largest financial markets, enabling the shift from analog, phone-based trading to a fully electronic marketplace. Why does this matter? Because our platform makes trading fixed-income more accessible, ultimately improving transparency, efficiency, and competition in the marketplace. Changing the way an established industry transacts is no easy feat. There will be twists and turns, because no one’s ever done this before. But now, more than 2,000 clients around the world rely on our solutions, and that number is only expected to grow in the years ahead. We know where we’re going. How we get there is up to us. Join us and help Take Us There. 

 The Role

There is no better way to experience what a career at MarketAxess has to offer than through our 9-week internship programme. As a 2025 summer intern within the Post-Trade team, you will grow your skills through on-the-job training and professional development classroom training. You will participate in projects, work on solving problems, provide community service through our charity partners, and enjoying social events. Our summer internship programme offers the opportunity to build new skills and grow your professional network whilst providing an in-depth insight into career possibilities at MarketAxess. This is a full-time paid internship commencing on 2 June and concludes on 1 August.
