Leadership Rotation Network Intern

DRW is recruiting for Leadership Rotation Network Intern in Chicago, IL. This listing was last seen on the firm's own job board on August 22, 2026.

A broad principal trading firm covering rates, energy, crypto, and real estate, so desk fit matters as much as the screen.

What sets DRW apart: Widest asset coverage of any firm on this list, including physical commodities. Desk assignment happens late, so you interview for the firm rather than a team. Serious crypto and digital assets business through Cumberland.

The role, as DRW describes it, published on July 13, 2026 and reproduced from their job board:

Our formula for success is to hire exceptional people, encourage their ideas and reward their results.
