See yourself as an Alternatives Investment Intern
Since launching its first opportunistic credit vehicles over 15 years ago, PIMCO has developed a significant presence in both alternative credit and private investment strategies. Our strategies include those that seek to identify value primarily in listed securities, relying on fundamental and capital structure analysis, and also strategies that seek to privately finance the debt and equity needs of companies, asset holders, and origination platforms. We invest globally across commercial and residential real estate and mortgage credit, performing and distressed corporate debt, and specialty finance markets.
As an Alternatives Investment Intern, you will seek to identify operational opportunities and challenges of alternative credit and private strategy investments. You will work alongside seasoned associates and Portfolio Managers, focusing on financial modeling and qualitative analysis to evaluate performance and alternative paths for under-performing positions.

Successful interns receiving full time offers will have the opportunity to join a two-year rotational program with a potential for a career track in Portfolio Management.
