The Evercore Summer Analyst Program is a 10-week program designed to provide highly motivated undergraduates with a strong interest in finance and activism.  The Program seeks intelligent, mature individuals with the desire and flexibility to work in a boutique environment and learn on the job. In addition, Summer Analysts must demonstrate the ability to work on several projects concurrently and possess the desire to learn and work hard.

As part of the Program, Summer Analysts will provide value-add analysis and research as part of the Shareholder Activism Defense team within the Advisory business. In this role, the Analyst will create client presentations regarding hostile activity, shareholder activism and corporate governance.
