Investment Analyst

AMC runs a competitive and rewarding Analyst Program for between 4 and 6 Analysts each year. The Analyst Program seeks to hire individuals with 2-3 years of relevant experience in investment banking, consulting, or private equity and provides a platform for further personal and professional development prior to business school. Selected analysts will gain firsthand experience working and investing in emerging markets and will have the opportunity to work across various sectors and geographies. The Analyst Program will provide opportunities for international travel and extensive interaction with IFC colleagues worldwide, allowing Analysts to build a truly global network. 

The AMC Analyst Program is intended to employ Analysts for 2-3 years with a maximum of 4 years. Beyond this time limit, Analysts are encouraged to consider business school or other graduate programs. Analysts are expected to work through 30 June of their year of departure from AMC. Former AMC Analysts have gained admission to competitive graduate programs, and others have transitioned to further challenging and interesting professional opportunities that have leveraged their AMC experience.
